Brushy One String’s guitar has only one string, but the songs he creates with that one string are extraordinary. The son of Jamaican soul singer Freddy McKay, who died at an early age, and singer Beverly Foster, who toured as a backup singer with Tina Turner among others, Brushy was surrounded by music from an early age but struggeled with his own style for a long time. Until one night Brushy had a vision, a dream in which he was told to play a one-string guitar. His companions laughed at him, but Brushy recalls: “The next day I took a big, wide hat and sunglasses, went to the market and started singing.” And so began a career that took him halfway around the globe.
