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.

Tobymac, my name is Marcus Alford and in my opinion and in the opinion of millions of your fans, you are the best musician in the world at this moment. Your music has helped he in so many ways. Three years ago when I was Twelve, my Dad passed away. I was crying every day. Your song Atmosphere was just like we where, "Just turn around and I'll be there". Except I turned around and I was alone. Your music renewed me. Helped me really find God although I was already a Christian. Three years later I still ask myself why the doctor made the decision that he did, but I just sing one of your song in my head and I feel better. I just you to know that you changed my life, helped me see Jesus and helped me Grieve. You are a great man and you need to keep doing what you are doing. God Bless the Diverse City Band!
Can't wait to see you perform here in NYC on Friday! I truly hope I get to make it out there to see you, it'll be my first time seeing you. I pray that the Lord will continue to use in all that you do for His Kingdom. God bless you & your loved ones. Take care!
My wife and I are coming to see you at Winter Wonder Slam. We are traveling from Geneva NY all the way down to Penn State. We can't wait! See you there.
