Biography

Edit

dc Talk is a Christian rock band, formed in Lynchburg, Virginia in the late 80s by Toby McKeehan, Kevin Max Smith and Michael Tait. Their first two albums were hip-hop, but they had more success when they introduced pop themes into the third, Free at Last. The album took the band to platinum sales and earned them the Grammy for the Best Rock Gospel Album.

Keen to experiment further, the Jesus Freak album introduced rock elements into the mix. Helped by a mainstream distribution deal from Virgin Records, the band found themselves in the unusual position (for a Christian rock band) of a top five placing in the Billboard charts. The album sold double-platinum and the follow-up, Supernatural, also made the top five. At the height of their success, the band decided to take a break to pursue solo careers.
