NASHVILLE, TN - Singer and songwriter Benjamin William Hastings is known for his work with Hillsong United. But the award-winning songwriter is now embarking on a solo music career. This new journey comes as he finds himself nominated for a Dove Award for "Worship Song of The Year."
CBN News's Studio 5 traveled to Nashville to chat with Hastings about his 25-track debut album self-titled "Benjamin William Hastings." "The album I started quite a while ago," Hastings told us. "I mean, some of the songs have been in existence in some form for about 10 years, but I really started working on the record about three years ago."
With 25 songs on the album, Hastings explained, "I guess I just wanted it to show all the sides of myself." He continued, "As I wrote one song, I was like, 'Well, I can't write that and not write about this.'"
