ABOUT BENJAMIN WILLIAM HASTINGS: Benjamin William Hastings is a Northern Irish singer, and songwriter, raised on the streets of Belfast, and spent the better part of his twenties in Sydney, Australia. Since featuring on “So Will I (100 Billion X)," he’s written a whole lot of songs which, if you add them all together, have been streamed over 500 million times (not quite a 100 billion but we're on the way!!). Recently Hastings and his family moved to Los Angeles, California where he and his wife Jessa Hastings (Author of the novel; Magnolia Parks) are hard at work on their respective crafts. His latest solo offering explores the ongoing wrestle of exercising faith (among other things) and, to be honest, it may be a little more honest than you’re used to hearing. But his hope is that somewhere in its humanity, you find something divine. After all, sometimes you gotta lie in the dirt just to stare at the stars.
