Artist Overview

Janine Price is a highly respected South African gospel singer, songwriter, and worship leader who has been a pillar of the South African music ministry for over three decades. Known for her “soul-stirring” vocals and technical proficiency on the piano, she began her musical journey at age 12. Her ministry was significantly shaped by her time at Hillsong College in Australia, where she was mentored by Darlene Zschech—an influence that is evident in her polished, contemporary worship style and her heart for leading congregations into the presence of God.

Her career is largely synonymous with the Rhema Bible Church in Johannesburg, where she joined the worship team in 1996 and eventually rose to lead the entire Music Department. As a solo artist, she has shared the stage with global icons like Israel Houghton, Jonathan Butler, and Josh Groban. Her music is characterized by its intimacy and scriptural depth, often navigating themes of mercy, surrender, and the unchanging nature of Christ. She is particularly celebrated for her ability to mentor the next generation of worship leaders, acting as a “mother in the faith” within the South African gospel industry.

In 2026, Janine Price has experienced a significant career resurgence through her collaborations with the Mmuso Worship collective. She featured prominently on their 2026 live album, The Holy One, notably on the powerful track “Ngcwele” (recorded live at the Heartfelt Arena). She also started the year with a feature on United Altar Sounds’ project, Prayer Room, with the soulful single “Help Me Know Jesus.” Her recent work continues to emphasize “Atmospheric Worship,” proving her enduring relevance in a rapidly evolving gospel landscape while maintaining the classical worship foundations she is known for.
