Psalm 23 provides a table and a cup that runs over. Solomon Plate’s stage name already covers the crockery. By his own account, he spent four years living inside that psalm. Then he named his second album after the cup. That leaves the table, and he appears to be building it himself.
The cup
Over & Over came out on 7 August 2024. It has 14 tracks and was released under his own Dominion Sound imprint. He describes it as Afro-fusion and ties it to the line about a cup running over. The guests come from across borders, including Esther Chungu, Mag 44, Ephraim and Levixone from Uganda. His debut album, Munthu, arrived in 2019. Since then he has kept releasing, and “More Than Anything” followed in October 2025.
Solomon Plate’s credits
Solomon Moyo was born in Lusaka and works as Solomon Plate. He is credited as singer, songwriter and producer on his own material. He also produces for other artists. His collaborators include Pompi, Slap Dee, Busiswa and Sampa The Great.
The credits go well beyond the gospel shelf. For example, he produced music for the Zambian Netflix film Can You See Us. He also co-created the Zuba theme song for Zambezi Magic with Esther Chungu. In addition, his bios list brand work for Coca-Cola Africa, MTN, Stanbic, DFCU and Access Bank. So one person has made music for a streaming film and several major sponsors. Meanwhile, he has kept making gospel records.
The standard he holds
He has said he wants to kill the idea that gospel is boring or meant for only certain people. His recent singles back that up. “Neka” and “Muntu Wanga” are love songs written from a Christian point of view. The sound mixes gospel with Afro-fusion, hip-hop and Zamrock influences. Still, none of it sounds like a hymn with a drum machine added.
The imprint
Dominion Sound is the vehicle through which he releases his music. It is not a multi-artist label. However, the terms of ownership behind it are not public. The record therefore shows authorship, and the details of ownership remain unstated. On X, his bio gives the plan as “Churches In Stadiums.” Anyone who can write the sponsors’ music already knows where the stadium budget comes from.
Plenty of African creatives write, produce and release their own work while also taking commercial jobs. In his case, the same hands make a bank’s campaign and a record about an overflowing cup. Nobody asked permission for either. He is doing it from Lusaka, and the work is easy to follow.
