tobyMac

Growing up in the VA suburbs adjacent to DC, tobyMac recalls immediately being attracted to the beats, rhymes and production of early rap. "I remember hearing a Kurtis Blow/Trouble Funk song on the radio and going to a local record store, and they didn't have it. Since I couldn't drive yet, I took the Metrorail into downtown DC and found a store that had that song; I bought the Sugarhill Gang's Rappers Delight that day as well. From there, it just caught fire. I fell in love with hip-hop music."

Whether it's as a husband who just celebrated his eighth anniversary, father of a three-year-old son, performer, song-writer and producer, businessman or President of Gotee Records, tobyMac has always been a man driven and committed in every area of his life. There is no doubt that he has what it takes to be a successful solo artist in today's music market -- make no mistake -- tobyMac's up for the challenge and ready to take the industry by storm.
