Mmuso Worship's Oncemore Six Unpacks The Deep Origins Of His Name

CAPE TOWN, South Africa. Mmuso Worship’s Oncemore Six Unpacks The Deep Origins Of His Name. At first glance, Oncemore Six might sound like a stage name carefully crafted for the spotlight. But as Mmuso Worship’s charismatic worship leader recently shared, his name is not just a brand — it’s a testament to a story woven through generations of hope, loss, heritage, and faith.

In a recent interview on “Love Marriage Family Podcast, Oncemore Six was asked the inevitable question about the origins of his unique name. With a warm smile, he said, “As you can tell, this name is on my passport.” It’s not made up. It’s a name deeply rooted in family history and divine gratitude.

He went on to explain, “My parents had a miscarriage before me. So when I was born, the prayer was, ‘The Lord has blessed us once more.’”

That profound moment of restoration birthed the “Oncemore” part of his name — a living reminder of God’s faithfulness after loss.

But the story doesn’t end there.

“The Six,” he continued, “comes from my great-grandfather, a white man from Holland who moved to South Africa. He married my great-grandmother, who was a black woman. My grandfather also married a black woman, and so on — it keeps on getting black.”

Through that lineage, Oncemore Six humorously and proudly acknowledges his identity: “I’m coloured via the great-grandfather Six from Holland.”

His story is a beautiful portrait of South Africa’s complex, multicultural tapestry — a reminder that identity can hold both sorrow and celebration, ancient journeys and new beginnings. For Oncemore Six, every time someone calls his name, they call forth a legacy of answered prayers, multicultural unity, and grace passed down through generations.

As he leads worship with Mmuso Worship, it’s clear: his name isn’t just a label. It’s a calling.
