'''dc Talk''' (originally '''DC Talk''') is a [[Contemporary Christian Music]] (CCM) band. It has been said that their name means "decent Christian talk", although this is not certain. Their fourth album, [[Jesus Freak (album)|Jesus Freak]], debuted higher on the US Billboard charts than any other gospel music group in history. Their latest album together is ''Intermission: the Greatest Hits''.
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, [[Tennessee]], where they released their self-titled debut album in 1989.
DC Talk'''Overviews'''* [[About dc Talk]] (adapted from Wikipedia)* s music has won numerous [[Albums by dc TalkGMA Dove Awards]]* , along with three Grammy Awards. "We're very open about our [[Songs written by dc TalkChristian]] (see below also)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."
In 2000, the trio announced that they would be attempting solo acts. Michael Tait's band ''Tait'' released ''Empty'' in July 2001, which was shortly followed by Kevin Max's ''Stereotype Be'' in August. Toby McKeehan, under the name ''tobyMac'', released an album named ''Momentum'' in November. Since then, tobyMac has released ''Re:mix Momentum'' (July 2003) and ''Welcome to Diverse City'' (October 2004), Tait has released ''Lose This Life'' (November 2003), and Kevin Max has released the independent ''Between the Fence and the Universe'' (2004).
