Benjamin William Hastings

Benjamin Williams Hastings, a Northern Irish songwriter, singer, and worship leader, was raised in Belfast. Benjamin spent many years in Sydney, Australia where he met Hillsong UNITED. Thanks to their friendship and through numerous collaborations, recordings, and tours, Benjamin has been part of many of their biggest songs, such as writing and leading vocals on UNITED’s “So Will I (100 Billion X).” He also penned Cory Asbury’s No. 1 song “The Father’s House,” Brandon Lake’s “Gratitude,” and Hillsong Worship’s “O Praise The Name (Anástasis).” He is a renowned songwriter, whose work has led many in worshipping the Lord.

Recently, Benjamin and his family of five (including their dog) moved to Los Angeles, CA. His new album of 25 songs explore the important aspects of who he is: family, love, the ongoing wrestle of exercising faith, the struggles with fear and doubt, war, finding God, fighting God, and fighting for God in the midst of everything.
