    One of the frequently asked questions when it comes to DC talk, is how did they get together. The members of DC Talk met at a Liberty University. Michael sang in a chapel one day, and Toby introduced himself and they became friends. Then Kevin did a song in the chapel, "Lord of the Harvest", and Michael introduced himself and told him about his friend Toby McKeehan. Then eventually they all met and moved in together. In January 1989, they signed a record deal with ForeFront records. They then moved to Nashville, Tenn. and DC Talk was then formed. The group was founded in Washington DC.

    Anthor frequent asked question is what does the dc stand for in DC Talk. As you know the group was founded in Washington DC, which is where the intials originally came from. But the record company suggested they stand for Decent Christian. A couple of expamples are:
