Hillsong Young & Free (also known as Hillsong Y&F) is an Australian contemporary worship music group from Sydney, Australia, where they started making Christian music in 2012 at Hillsong Church. They have released two live albums, We Are Young & Free (2013) and Youth Revival (2016), with two extended plays, This Is Living (2015) and The Remixes (2015).
The group formed in 2012 out of Sydney, Australia, where they were located at Hillsong Church. Their members are worship leaders, Aodhan King, Alexander Pappas, Tyler Douglass, Renee Sieff, Ben Tan, and Melodie Wagner. Hillsong United [launched in 1998], the original group, got underway when the members were all pretty young, because it was started as part of the youth ministry at Hillsong Church. As they evolved and started to mature, have families of their own and take on adulthood, many people at the church felt that there was a need for a new group that would aim its message at younger people with a stimulating new sound.
Hillsong Young & Free released their first live album, We Are Young & Free, on 1 October 2013. The album debuted and peaked at number 6 on the ARIA Albums Chart in Australia, also charting on several Billboard magazine charts in the United States, peaking at No. 22 on the Billboard 200 and No. 1 on the Christian Albums chart. Their subsequent release an extended play, This Is Living, was released on 11 January 2015. The release charted on the Billboard 200 at No. 38 and No. 1 on the Christian Albums chart. Their second extended play, The Remixes, was released on 4 December 2015. The second live album, Youth Revival, was released on 26 February 2016. On December 6, 2016, it was announced that Hillsong Young and Free would be nominated for a Grammy Award in the Best Contemporary Christian Music Album category for their latest album Youth Revival
