As a child, McIntosh was very much influenced by his father who was a musical arranger. “He was a very prominent musical arranger for most of the artists in Trinidad during the 1960’s onwards. He got me involved in music at the tender age of seven. I started off playing percussion in the calypso tents.”

At the age of 21 he joined Shandileer, which later changed its name to Massive Chandelier. He played percussion with the group. It was not until the vocalists left, that he volunteered to take up the spot as a singer.

For over a decade, McIntosh was the frontman of the band. “I was singing calypso and reggae on the frontline. Then in 1986, I got the opportunity to record my first track “As long as I get it” and then I recorded “Happy” in 1987. In 1988, we released “Shaking it” and “Do what you want” in 1989. ”

McIntosh had a series of infectious tunes while he performed with Massive Chandelier like “Whoa Donkey” in 1993 and “On de Road” in 1995 which earned him the winning title of Soca Monarch. He left the group and joined Blue Ventures in 1996. Tracks like “Ent” followed in 1997 and “How it go look” in 1998.

After joining Atlantik, McIntosh had hit songs like “Biting Insects” and “Run” in 2002. He was also instrumental in pulling Destra Garcia into Blue Ventures. In 2004, he left the group and performed with Island Vibe for a year, before slipping out of the soca scene altogether.

In time he developed his own businesses - Ronnie and Caro, the clothing store and the mas band. “The soca business is not something you can depend on in the long term. I decided to do something with the money I saved and to diversify.
