Tait, Toby McKeehan, and Kevin Max formed the four-time Grammy-winning music trio DC Talk in 1987. The band released five acclaimed studio albums together before going on hiatus in 2000. Tait also founded a band called Tait. He was the lead singer of Newsboys from 2009 to 2025.
Beginning in June 2025, allegations emerged that Tait had groomed and sexually assaulted a number of men. He subsequently admitted the allegations were "largely true", apologized, and said he was seeking "spiritual healing" away from the public.
