Malaysian Gospel Music

This was the 1st ever gathering of Malaysian artistes and songwriters from all over Peninsular Malaysia. Together with a crowd of over 15OO Christians, we worshipped the LORD our God with songs written by our very own. It was a night of many firsts: the launch of our very 1st compilation worship album; the very first time awards and recognition were given to those who have labored and contributed to this industry, some for over 30 years.

MGM wishes to thank all who have made this event a success...from the volunteers who served tirelessly behind the scenes, to the artistes, singers and musicians who gave their best, to the crowd who came to support, but most of all, to our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, who made it all possible. To Him belong all the praise!
