 Kevin (Toby) Michael McKeehan, professionally known as tobyMac the Christian rock bands , is known for his role as a member of the Christian rock music group dc talk. He, the Christian rock bands has since continued his solo career with the release of three commercially successful studio albums; Momentum (2001), Welcome to Diverse City (2004), and most recently Portable Sounds (2007). He has also released Christian rock music remixed versions of his first two albums, creatively titled Re:Mix Momentum, and Renovating Diverse City. tobyMac, the Christian rock bands grew up in the Washington D.C. area and met Kevin Max and Michael Tait while in college at Liberty University in Lynchburg, Virginia. The three formed the band dc Talk in 1989. A unique approach to combining rock, pop, and rap quickly rocketed the trio to success, not only in the contemporary Christian rock music market, but also in the mainstream market. Their album Jesus Freak was a significant milestone, selling over two million copies, making it a double platinum record. dc Talk's latest album was released in 2000. The album Intermission: the Greatest Hits was a dc Talk compilation put together when the group members started their "intermission." The members were pursuing individual careers then, and at the time assured fans that dc Talk had not split up, but rather they were simply taking "an intermission." More recently though, comments from the band members, most notably from Kevin Max, have implied that dc Talk will not regroup. Kevin Max writes on his official website's message board, "dc Talk is something of the past. In order for DC Talk to be anything of the future, it will be up to each individual member to come together to create something that is lasting and substantial. There is an audience out there interested in seeing dc Talk back together as a group and as an entertaining and creative force, but I feel that the spirit of the thing is dead. I appreciated the time that we had together those many years, and I thank God many times over for allowing me to be a part of something that was so far reaching and helped so many people, but to be honest, just doing a show to do a show is not interesting to me. It must be thought out, creative and passionate." dc Talk reunited to perform a song on the album Let's Roll about the events on September 11, 2001, and again on Toby's third Christian rock music album "Welcome to Diverse City." They remixed the song "Atmosphere," an original song appearing earlier on the album.
