Kevin Max

Kevin Max is one of the three members of dc Talk and began his solo career in 2001 with the album "Stereotype Be". The record was marketed towards christian music listeners by default, but was not a Christian album, and flopped as a result of the CCM industry "blacklisting" both the album and the artist. However, after a few years the album became a cult success with Christians and non-Christians alike.
