Oncemore Six is a South African gospel singer, songwriter, and worship leader. He hails from eMzinoni, Mpumalanga.[1] Emerging in the early 2020s, he quickly gained attention for worship anthems such as “Ngeke Ng’suke Kuwe.”[2][3] He has performed and ministered across South Africa and even internationally, including tours in the United States.[1] Oncemore Six's music emphasises prayer, revival, and authentic worship, and his songs have become widely sung in churches across the country.[4]
Early life and background
[edit]Oncemore Six was born and raised in eMzinoni, Mpumalanga.[5] His parents, devout Christians who had suffered a miscarriage, prayed for another child and named him “Oncemore,” saying “The Lord has blessed us once more.[6] A pastor’s son, he displayed musical talent from a very young age.[5] He was singing before he could talk and spent much of his childhood immersed in church music. By age 14 he became the worship leader at his father’s church, leading a youth praise group called Power of Praise. In this role, his team opened for prominent gospel acts. For example, they performed before events by Joyous Celebration and shared the stage with the late Sfiso Ncwane and artist Solly Mahlangu.[6]
After completing secondary school, Oncemore briefly enrolled in civil engineering studies. His parents recognised his calling in music and encouraged him to leave university and pursue ministry full-time.[6] At age 24 he got his break through a family friend and mentor, gospel singer Tebs David.[5] David brought him to Pretoria as a backing vocalist, and those touring and recording opportunities led to more bookings and exposure. Prior to his solo debut, Oncemore Six honed his craft as a background singer for South African gospel stars such as Dr Tumi, Solly Mahlangu, Takie Ndou, Pastor Philly, Rofhiwa Manyaga, Ayanda Ntanzi, Hle Ntombela, among others.[6]
Music career
[edit]Oncemore Six’s solo music career began in 2021. His debut single, “Ngeke Ng’suke Kuwe,” released that year,[7] quickly became a popular worship song in South African churches. The song was recorded with the Mmuso Worship Church choir, and its heartfelt lyrics and melody struck a chord with congregations. Building on this momentum, he led the recording of his first live album titled Jesus and the Church on August 27, 2022. This project featured a massive choir of over 1,000 voices.[4]
In 2023, Oncemore Six released the single “Here On Our Knees,”[8] a prophetic worship declaration to begin the year in devotion and surrender. Throughout 2023 and 2024 he continued to put out new music and perform. His repertoire includes songs such as “Open Heaven” and “God Is Moving,” as well as successive singles like “Ohlonishwayo” and “Umkhuleko Webandla”. In late 2024 he launched a collective worship project called Remnant, recording with choirs from 18 different churches; this culminated in a live event “Remnant: Night of Worship” in Pretoria on September 23, 2024. Plans have included a Remnant Conference Tour and continued ministry training for worship teams.[6]
Alongside his solo work, Oncemore Six has collaborated with other artists and groups. He is closely involved with the Mmuso Worship collective in Mpumalanga and frequently features in their recordings. In 2024 he appeared on the international gospel collective Halal Afrika's single “We Worship Adonai,” a multilingual worship anthem recorded with singers from several African countries.[9] His background as a sought-after worship singer has also led to guest performances at events and tours, bridging South African gospel music with audiences abroad.
