Each aspect of lived experience impacts and inspires, and for Tosh Alexander, this truth is evident in her artistry. Named after her mother’s favorite reggae icon, Peter Tosh, this Brooklyn-born singer-songwriter was raised in both Jamaica and South Florida. Her cultural duality profoundly shapes her music, delivering a soundscape that reflects the best of both worlds.
“I grew up in both cultures, so my approach to music and expression reflects exactly that,” Tosh shares.
Her music speaks to her versatility and magnetic connection with audiences. Seamlessly blending sultry, soulful melodies with the fiery deejaying skills rooted in her Jamaican heritage, Tosh has mastered a unique fusion that transcends genres. It’s this ability to effortlessly navigate between styles that keeps listeners captivated across the globe.
"In my music, you can recognize moments of sensuality and strength—the prowess of being a Woman,” Tosh explains. “That's the message. It's important for me to talk about situations I’ve been in that other women can relate to, regardless of where my listeners are tuning in from.”
A seasoned artist, Tosh Alexander is no stranger to acclaim. Her talent and dedication have been celebrated by top-tier publications, including Rolling Stone, Clash Magazine, GRM Daily, and Wonderland Magazine. With a string of hit tracks like Bubble, Games, Can’t Give You a Try, 911 featuring Ky-Mani Marley, and Cum Yah, Tosh has established herself as a powerhouse in music.
Earlier this year, she released Chat To Me Nice, which marked a significant chapter in her career. For Tosh, this project represents a bold redefinition of her sound and a confident embrace of her dual cultural identity.
“It’s about time the public sees and hears more of me,” Tosh declares. “This feels like a new beginning because I’ve finally found a way to sonically embrace both of my cultures. It can be challenging to find that balance when you’re from different worlds—especially when writing. But to create something authentic, you have to sit down and perfect it. The marriage is now between both worlds, and I stand confident in my sound.”
On November 15, 2024, Tosh released the highly anticipated music video for her reggae-fusion single, My Ting Different, featuring Lady London. Fresh off the heels of the track’s intoxicating dance-ready audio earlier this month, the visual production is nothing short of a masterpiece, showcasing the star power of these two Jamaican-American trailblazers.
The video chronicles an extravagant takeover, blending highlights from Tosh and Lady London’s unforgettable appearances at prestigious events such as the 2024 Caribbean Music Awards, Miami Carnival, and Howard University Homecoming—Lady London’s alma mater. Additionally, the visual offers glimpses of the duo reveling in the beauty and culture of Jamaica, underscoring the song’s vibrant energy and roots.
Tosh Alexander is not just an artist; she’s a cultural bridge, bringing her unique narrative to life through music. With her star continuing to rise, she remains poised to redefine what it means to blend cultures while staying authentically herself.
