TobyMac ranks among the most successful artists in the history of Christian music in terms of radio success, sales power and critical acclaim. He is also universally recognized as a creative force, an artistic maverick and a prophetic voice for racial reconciliation, social justice and a fierce devotion to faith and family. Stated simply, he continues to master the art of multi-tasking as he puts the finishing touches on his next album.
His solo career took off from the first notes, from GOLD albums to Number One singles, to GRAMMY nominations and widespread critical acclaim. Christianity Today called him “one of the fifty most influential evangelical leaders in America.” In 2008, he took home the GMA Dove Award for Artist of the Year as well as the GRAMMY for Best Rock Or Rap Gospel Album with his live DVD/CD Alive and Transported. However, the artist, producer, songwriter, industry leader and father of five is not the slightest bit interested in playing it safe.
“Passion for my art drives me so long as I feel the Most High breathing new songs through me. I am committed to never rely on what has worked in the past and never fear what hasn’t. The canvas is blank and the colors are endless.”
So, when it comes time for a new TobyMac record to drop there are a lot of people paying attention. His rampant eclecticism and consistent excellence have set the bar very high. Each project brings with it an increased commitment to melody and soulful singing while maintaining his now trademarked rock/funk/hip-hop side. In August 2009, his audience will get a taste of new music with the single "City On Our Knees," another chapter in his quest towards a Diverse City. In November, his Winter Wonder Slam tour will travel from New York to L.A. for its fifth incarnation—this time with supporting artists Relient K, Stephanie Smith and B. Reith. His fourth solo studio album is slated to release in February 2010.

Hi Toby I love your music, but never get to see you live, you should come closer to New Mexico either here or Colorado. It would be great to see you live... much luv and God Bless!
I have never heard a song or seen a video of yours that I didn't like. I have been listening to you for many years and now my kids and grandkids listen to you. My 22 month old granddaughter gets upset if I turn off your cds. God Bless you and everyone involved with putting your music out there, but MOST of all thank God for blessing you with your talent. I'll be glad when you come back to Texas.
Stopping by to say hi! I saw you in Ames when you were with your band DC Talk in 1996. I have all the CDs. I like Jesus Freak alot. I saw you in 2002 at Sonshine Fest. It was my husband's and my honeymoon that we saw you there.
