Life and Career

Amanda Levy was raised in Jamaica, and as such she grew up in the country’s culture. She loved the local music scene there, and it was that involvement which eventually led her to meet TobyMac. They married in 1994, and she later moved with him to the US, making regular visits to Jamaica when they can.

She has mainly been behind the scenes, supporting her husband’s work and at times joining him during big events or concerts. When they started a family, she began to focus more on raising children – they had five, two of whom are twins.

Their eldest followed in his father’s footsteps and a lot of songs were dedicated to him, as he even collaborated with his father numerous times. However, in 2020 it was reported that he had passed away following an accidental overdose. The family has remained silent with their grief with the father only releasing music as a tribute to his late child.

Husband – TobyMac

Growing up, TobyMac became interested in a music career, and hoped to make it big as an artist. He grew up in a Christian upbringing, which would be a large influence on his success.

While a student of the private Christian Liberty University, he met and befriended Michael Tait, and the two would launch the group DC Talk, releasing music as a group which included Kevin Max Smith. In 1989, they released their debut album, and continued on with more music, which found a bit of popularity.

After their record “Free at Last”, they began gaining mainstream attention, and were being featured on television. In 1995 the group then released “Jesus Freak”, which was highly successful, being certified multi-platinum. They went on a World Tour to promote their music, and continued to perform as DC Talk until 1996 when they released their final platinum-certified album “Supernatural”.

With a desire to pursue other projects, the group disbanded and embarked on their respective solo careers. The group has reunited several times over many years, and has guested on each other works, remaining close despite being long apart.

Solo Career – TobyMac

Like the rest of DC Talk’s members, Toby had a lot of attention surrounding him when he embarked on a solo career in 2001, releasing his debut solo album “Momentum” which reached the top of the Billboard Heatseekers chart. He began performing and touring as a solo artist, leading to his second release – “Welcome to Diverse City”.
