TobyMac

After making up one third of the dc Talk for the better part of 10 years, TobyMac, one of Christian music’s first rappers, forged ahead with a solo career that’s been equally successful and innovative, thanks to hit singles like “Gone,” “Made to Love,” “Lose My Soul” and "City On Our Knees."

Fusing pop, rock, soul and hip-hop into what he calls a “musical gumbo,” TobyMac’s solo debut, Momentum released in 2001. It featured popular tracks “Extreme Days,” “Get This Party Started” and “Yours,” which were all spotlighted in popular TV shows and video games.

Then with his 2004 album Welcome to Diverse City, TobyMac upped the creative ante with tracks such as “Burn For You” and “Atmosphere.” All three songs were used in promos for hit television shows, movies, sports programming and commercials. Welcome to Diverse City was also awarded the Dove Award for “Best Rap/Hip-Hop Album of the Year.”

Continuing to make compelling music with a blatant faith focus, TobyMac has released two more successful studio albums, Portable Sounds and Tonight, which recently debuted at #6 on the Billboard 200. The project’s first single “City on our Knees” was released six months prior to the album’s street date and reached the #1 spot. This spring, TobyMac will compile the best songs off both albums to create a remix album entitled Dubbed & Freq'd: A Remix Project.

As well as working on his own music, TobyMac has recently teamed up with new artist Jamie Grace on her Grammy nominated "Hold Me" and Mandisa's new song "Good Morning."
