Toby Mac

Toby McKeehan spent his childhood growing up in the Washington D.C. area, not far from where he went to college at Lynchburg, Virginia's Liberty University. It was during his time at Liberty that Toby met fellow dc Talk members Michael Tait and Kevin Max. Ten years and six albums later, just as dc Talk has evolved musically, Toby's own life and career have become quite diversified. While he records and tours extensively with dc Talk, Toby also focuses much of his time and energy developing and producing other artists on his own record label, Gotee Records. Since the label's inception in 1994, Gotee's roster has grown to include such acts as Out of Eden, Grits, Jennifer Knapp, Sonicflood, The Katinas, and others. Gotee also houses 40 Records, a newly created modern praise & worship venture between Toby and Christian music veteran Bill Gaither.

In 1997, Toby joined his manager Dan Pitts and Gotee President Joey Elwood in the formation of the E.R.A.C.E. Foundation, a non-profit organization promoting racial reconciliation. E.R.A.C.E. became a natural fit for dc Talk's platform because the topic of reconciliation is one that is close to the hearts of Toby, Michael and Kevin.

On a personal note, Toby and his wife of four years, Amanda, became proud parents in 1998. Truett Foster McKeehan was born on September 4, 1998. Along with a day-to-day relationship with God, Toby's family is the most important element in his life, and he admits that it has changed him only for the better.

"The impact Amanda and Truett have made on me has been great," he shares. "The focus I have on my life has been so intensely adjusted, and I'm grateful for that. I love what I do, but the other people in my life are so important to me and I never want to take that for granted."
