TobyMac is an American Christian hip-hop music producer, songwriter, singer, and recording artist. Although Christian music is not considered to be as popular as traditional hip-hop music, Toby’s songs prove to be a pleasant exception. Born and raised in Virginia in a traditional Christian family, Toby was an avid music lover since his early days. In the late 1980s, Toby formed a group called ‘DC Talk,’ with two of his friends, Kevin Max Smith and Michael Tait. ‘DC Talk’ released several successful albums. After the trio took a break from making music together, Toby embarked on a solo music career. He began with the 2001 album ‘Momentum.’ Mixing urban rock and beats with authentic Christian music worked for Toby, leading the album to become a big hit. Since then, Toby has had six successful studio albums and a Christmas album called ‘Christmas in Diverse City’ to his credit. In the course of his solo career, Toby has won seven ‘Grammy Awards’ and sold more than 10 million copies of his albums. Toby has also penned a few novels, including two novels belonging to the ‘Jesus Freaks’ series with Kevin Max and Michael Tait.
