Kings x Priests Redefines Worship With Afro Praise Single “Holy Name”

38

A new sound is rising from South Africa — one where faith meets the pulse of the dance floor. With “Holy Name,” Kings x Priests delivers a groundbreaking blend of gospel, Amapiano, Afro House, and Afrobeats, carving out a fresh space for worship music that’s as celebratory as it is spiritual.

The project, founded by Dr. Chad Marthinussen, is more than just a musical experiment. It’s a passion project born from the desire to merge heartfelt praise with rhythms that resonate deeply in African culture. “I love worship music but never found the sound that matched the rhythms I connect with, so I created it myself,” shares Marthinussen.

From its very first beat, “Holy Name” pulls you in with infectious grooves while its gospel-centered lyrics keep the message front and center. It’s music that doesn’t just entertain — it uplifts, reminding listeners that praise can be both joyful and deeply rooted in cultural identity.

By fusing worship with modern African soundscapes, Kings x Priests is pioneering Afro Praise — a genre that transforms the act of worship into a vibrant celebration of faith, unity, and rhythm. With “Holy Name,” dance floors and prayer rooms suddenly feel much closer together.
