Brushy One String


Andrew Chin, better known by his stage name Brushy One String, is a Jamaican singer and guitarist.

Biography

Son of Jamaican reggae singer Freddie McKay, Brushy created a unique sound using an acoustic guitar with only one string, and the body of the guitar as percussion.
Following an encounter with filmmaker Luciano Blotta, who was in Jamaica shooting his 2007 documentary Rise Up, his career took off. His song "Chicken in the Corn" was featured in the soundtrack of the movie. He later played at major music festivals such as South by Southwest, New Orleans House of Blues, and New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival.
In 2014, The King of One String, a documentary about his musical career, was released.
In 2019, Brushy One String unexpectedly found a new following thanks to being discovered by actors/comedians Lauren Lapkus, Paul F. Tompkins and Scott Aukerman on their podcast Threedom. The podcast promoted Brushy's Kickstarter to create a new studio album, which was promptly fully funded. Brushy directly thanked the podcast for their support via his Facebook page.
