Toby was born Tobias Kevin Michael McKeehan on October 22, 1964. He got the nickname Toby from having been born in October. His older brother started calling him Toby before he was born. He grew up in the Washington, D.C. area and met Kevin Max and Michael Tait while in college at Liberty University. The three formed the band dc Talk in 1987. A unique approach to combining rock, pop, and rap quickly rocketed the trio to success, not only in the contemporary Christian music market, but also in the mainstream market. Their album Jesus Freak was a significant milestone, selling over two million copies, making it a double platinum record.
