Toby McKeehan, better known by his stage name TobyMac, is a recording artist, music producer, hip-hop/pop artist, singer-songwriter, and author. He was one of the first Christian Rappers and began his career with the band DC Talk. Since the group’s break in 2000, TobyMac has recorded four studio albums: Momentum, Welcome to Diverse City, Portable Sounds, and Tonight. This year, he also recorded a full-length Christmas album called Christmas in Diverse City.
TobyMac’s hard work has led to an increase in sale with each new album. Between DC talk and his own solo career, he has sold more than 10 million albums. TobyMac has had six No. 1 hit CHR singles including "Gone", "Made to Love" and "Lose My Soul." His live concert CD+DVD combo album, Alive and Transported, was released in 2008 and received the Grammy Award for Best Rock or Rap Gospel Album at the 51st Grammy Awards in 2009.
TobyMac has written four books with Michael Tait, two with Kevin Max, and one on his own. He is the president of Gotee Records. A label created with Todd Collins and Joey Elwood in order to produce Out of Eden's Lovin' the Day after efforts to sign the group to an established label proved unsuccessful. Gotee features artists such as The Grits, House of Heroes, Jamie Grace and Abandon Kansas.
