Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor: Since releasing their album Jesus Freak, dc Talk has emerged as a leader in the pursuit of melding rock 'n' roll with provocative questions of faith. Although various rock predecessors have examined spiritual issues U2, Van Morrison, and Bob Dylan immediately come to M.I.N.D.D.C. Talk has taken the notion to new lengths, both in commercial terms and depth of artistic exploration. Numerous Dove Awards, three Grammy Awards, two platinum albums, one gold album, and two gold certified long form videos attest to the group's ability to bridge the gap between religious and secular audiences.
