The band's "Send fi mi girl" video was one of the first Canadian reggae videos to crack the Much Music regular rotation in 1991.[citation needed] That same year they were invited to guest host[11] and play live on the MuchMusic show Xtendamix[12] along with regular host Master T.[13] The band took a break in 2006 before regrouping on November 7, 2014[14] for a sold out benefit concert in Toronto.
Fujahtive was originally formed in 1986, when all the original members were still in high school. Jamaican-born lead vocalist Winston Ho-Sang transferred from Oakwood Collegiate to Forest Hill Collegiate,[15] where he met Anthony Goldstein. They bonded over their mutual love of reggae music and decided to put a band together with members from each schools' music programs. Winston Ho-Sang's identical twin brother Wayne Ho-Sang also joined the band. The band has backed[16] up Michael Rose of Black Uhuru and has been the opening act for Yellowman, Burning Spear,[17] Gregory Isaacs,[18] Sly & Robbie, Culture,[19] Linton Kwesi Johnson, Marcia Griffiths, Eek-a-mouse, Shinehead and most recently Luciano[20][21] (2016).
Wayne and Winston Ho-Sang are the father and uncle, respectively, of professional ice hockey player Josh Ho-Sang. Winston's daughter Allison is an R&B singer-songwriter who records and performs as a l l i e.[22]
