"I'm not ashamed or bashful when it comes to this question. However, I've been misquoted several times just because I think that there's a lot of word on the street. I've always been interested in pursuing music away from DC Talk in a different musical setting artistically, but I'm not interested in leaving the band to do it. Yeah, I definitely think in the near future there will be one for me. I'm getting ready to go to London this December to work on some songs and working on getting kind of a miniature catalog of music together. All of my favorite music has come out of Britain. I grew up listening to David Bowie, the Police, Echo & the Bunnymen. When I feel that it's time to go ahead and pursue a contractual agreement with a company, I'll do it. And I honestly feel like that's probably where I'm gonna end up in the future-Kevin Smith solo artist. I don't know if DC Talk's going to continue forever. You never know. I am kind of made for music, and unless God takes that gift away from me, I don't want to leave it because I really enjoy it.

"I know we're all brainstorming an idea to do a singles record possibly and that will give everybody a taste of what each of us does by ourselves. But I feel like I've got a pretty good catalog of songs, and I'd say in the next two years you'll probably see a solo record for me. I think my intent is to do music that would reach the secular masses with what I believe in the lyrics and stating my Christianity in those lyrics."

And how about the wings and make-up? Kevin laughs. "It was an attempt to get some attention at [Nashville's] 'Summer Lights' Festival. I've always wanted a lot of attention as a child, and so for the first time in many years I was on stage by myself, and I wanted to get a lot of attention. But really, the deeper meaning was that I just thought it would be a great get-up. I'm into going for it theatrically. I wanted to have a little fun, too. I like to just do it up sometimes."
