“This is Andrew Chin—a.k.a. Brushy One String—the son of the late great Freddie McKay, one of Jamaica's most renowned artists. Like his father, Brushy has reached the hearts of many through the power of original song, fascinating audiences since he was a child with only a ONE STRING GUITAR! Established in Jamaica where he is revered by both young and old, financial success and professional management have eluded Brushy, until now.”
