ABOUT
Benjamin William Hastings is a Northern Irish singer-songwriter whose journey began in Belfast and expanded across Sydney, Australia, where he became closely connected with Hillsong UNITED. As a key collaborator, Hastings co-wrote some of the most influential worship songs of the last decade, including the globally acclaimed, Platinum-certified “So Will I (100 Billion X),” a top-five hit on Christian radio.
A Grammy Award–winning songwriter and artist, Hastings earned his first Grammy nomination and win in 2026, marking a defining milestone in a career shaped by conviction, craft, and global reach. His songwriting catalog includes multiple songs that have reached #1 overall across all genres, including “Hard Fought Hallelujah” and “That’s Who I Praise,” as well as the widely beloved worship anthem “Gratitude.” His work has also been recorded by leading artists and collectives within the global worship movement. Altogether, his songs have contributed to more than 1.5 billion global streams.
Now based in Nashville, Tennessee, Benjamin continues to establish himself as a compelling solo artist. He is a top-performing artist on AIR1, with songs such as “Feels Like a Blessing,” “That’s the Thing About Praise,” and “Know You Will.” His 2023 single “That’s the Thing About Praise” reached #11 on Christian Airplay, further solidifying his presence as both a songwriter and recording artist.
Benjamin’s music is marked by lyrical honesty, spiritual depth, and a rare sense of humanity—songs that feel both intimate and expansive. His album Sold Out, Sincerely reflects that posture, offering a body of work that invites listeners into deeper reflection, worship, and connection with God.
