Toby Mac is enjoying the success of his latest album “Eye On It,” which has earned a Grammy and Billboard Music Award. He also has received an American Music Award for Favorite Christian Artist.

On his website, TobyMac talks about how his music reflects the challenges of living a Christian life.

“What is it like to live a life of faith? It doesn’t look perfect, I can promise you that,” he said. “We’re all struggling. We’re struggling to mend relationships, to love people well, and to love God. But the gift of walking this life of faith is that you can make it right each day. You can turn and start over, determined, with your eye on it.”

He said he also enjoys performing in concert.

“I’m wired for the live show,” he said. “That’s the way you get your music out there and every year we’re doing 100 shows or more. The most amazing feeling for any artist/songwriter is to take a song that came from your heart and have the audience sing every word along with you. That is a sweet humbling moment.”

Mandisa first gained national attention as a top 10 finalist on “American Idol.” She earned a Grammy nomination for her debut album in 2007. She performed her hit song “Stronger,” on “Good Morning, America the day that host Robin Roberts returned from medical leave after receiving treatment for cancer.

The Capital Kings, the duo of Jon White and Cole Walowac, has obtained popularity as a recording and performing act since releasing its self-titled debut album two years ago.
