Peter Tosh

Peter Tosh (October 9, 1944 – September 11, 1987) was a pioneer reggae musician. A militant, well-read, trailblazing and sometimes bitter Rastafarian, his persona was the "Malcolm X" in reflection to his former bandmate Bob Marley's "Martin Luther King, Jr.".

Born Winston Hubert McIntosh, young Peter grew up in the Kingston, Jamaica slum of Trenchtown. Although his short-fuse temper usually kept him in trouble, earning him the nickname Stepping Razor, he began to sing and learn guitar at a young age, inspired by the American stations he could pick up on his radio. His career was cut short when he was brutally murdered during a burglary.
