tobyMac biography

Kevin Michael McKeehan, better known by his stage name, TobyMac is a Christian hip-hop/ rock artist from Virginia in the United States.

Born on 22 October 1964 in Fairfax, Virginia, TobyMac got his music start in 1987 when he formed a duo with Michael Tait called DC Talk, and together they released “Christian Rhymes to a Rhythm” in 1988. They then recruited Kevin Max Smith and the three of them released ”DC Talk” which reached gold status, followed shortly by “Free At Last.” The tour that followed was a huge success, eventually leading to worldwide success.

TobyMac then went on to pursue a solo career in 2001 with the release of “Momentum.” The record earned five Dove Awards and a Grammy Nomination. “Welcome To The Diverse City” followed the success of his first solo album in 2004, which peaked at number 54 on the Billboard 200 and sold over 20,000 copies. In 2007 he released “Portable Sounds” and it sold over 50,000 copies, followed by his first live album released in 2008 entitled “Alive and Transported.” TobyMac’s fourth studio album, “Tonight” released in 2010 was an equally huge success; specifically it earned him “Artist Of The Year” at the Dove Awards and a nomination for Best Pop/Contemporary Gospel Album” Grammy. His fifth studio album entitled “Eye On It” was released in August 2012 and debuted at Number 1 on the Christian album charts.

Live reviews

Everyone loves a classic feel good song, especially TobyMac, who focuses on inserting moral and spiritual messages into his music and appealing to the whole of the Christian community. Although his songs are catchy and something you expect to hear at your local party, one has to look deeper into the lyrics to fully understand this remarkable performer. TobyMac is a versatile artist who is comfortable creating a plethora of songs from different genres, from dance to pop to rap to rock, but makes sure that his discography always contains a continuous theme of how his experience as a Christian makes him a better person. One of the most notable names in Christian music, TobyMac has recorded six solo albums since 2001 with most of his success coming in recent years, winning Top Christian Artist and Album at the Billboard Music Awards in 2013, along with a Grammy for the catchy single 'Speak Life' released this year. The 49-year-old has a dedicated following and has played to packed out arenas of over 10,000 people, including the WinterJam 2013 gig in South Califournia. TobyMac isn't afraid to have a good time on stage and can spring the occasional surprise to the hysterics of the audience. During a rendition of 'No Ordinary Love' he bought out a team of marching drummers to accompany him halfway through the song and also pranced around the stage with his band following the end performance of 'Me Without You' as confetti showered down from the ceiling. A truly manic and unforgettable performance.
