Editor's note

TobyMac's hip-hop pop and Virginia roots

From late-80s Virginia beginnings to solo albums like 'Momentum' and 'The Elements.'

For a good sense of his style, try 'Lights Shine Bright' or 'Forgiveness.' They're both pretty typical of what he does.

TobyMac's music has been a steady presence in Christian pop and hip-hop for over two decades. Songs like 'Lights Shine Bright' show his knack for upbeat, accessible tracks that blend genres without getting complicated. He's kept at it through albums from 'Welcome to Diverse City' in 2004 to 'The Elements' in 2022, working with the same band members along the way.

He started in Virginia in the late 1980s before going solo in 2001 with 'Momentum.' Since then he's put out albums every few years, mixing hip-hop and pop with straightforward inspirational lyrics. Recent work includes 'This is Not a Test' in 2018 and 'The Elements' in 2022.
