===History===
The band started as the one-man act of [[Toby McKeehan]] of [[Washington D.C.]] He met [[Michael Tait]] and [[Kevin Max]] at Liberty University, and they decided to turn dc Talk into a band. They were soon signed with [[ForeFront Records]], a popular gospel label. They moved to [[Nashville]], [[TeneseeTennessee]], where they released their self-titled debut album in 1989.
DC Talk's music has won numerous [[GMA Dove Awards]], along with three Grammy Awards. "We're very open about our [[Christian]] faith," says Toby McKeehan, "but when we make our records we want to create a musical experience that anyone can immerse themselves in." But still, he says, "one of our goals is to encourage listeners to question themselves and to seek out truth."
