Malcolm du Plessis

Malcolm has straddled the worlds of prophetic Christianity and showbiz for forty years: from church planter to record company exec; from songwriter to song publisher; from instigator of multi-ethnic, multi-lingual worship songs that fused praise and protest in the apartheid era of his native South Africa to mainstream artist manager in that same context; from consulting ministries, movements, artists, songwriters, record labels and publishing companies in the Christian arena to helping develop top 40 songwriters. He continues to work in the ‘overground’, yet identifies primarily as an ‘underground’ activist, finding and developing leaders from the fringes, coalescing an as-yet-uncoalesced movement. One of his priorities is his relentless call for the decolonization of the worship movement and for doors of dignity to be unlocked for more communities and ethnicities to contribute toward the ‘common’ hymnal.
