NASHVILLE, TENN. (MAY 22, 2025) Integrity Music announces the addition of worship leader and songwriter Alexander Pappas to its roster. As a founding member of the 2x GRAMMY-nominated band Hillsong Young & Free, Pappas has a rich background in writing songs for the congregational setting like "Alive," "Wake," "Real Love," and "Echo" (Elevation Worship).

 

"My partnership with Integrity Music is aligned in faith and vision," shares Alexander Papppas. "I’ve prayed for a partner to do ministry with, and I have full confidence that with that UNITY, He will indeed command a blessing. I pray with each song that a deeper or more profound revelation will surface, and the Spirit of God will be on the songs so they might reveal who He truly is."

 

Pappas describes his music as songs for God's people, songs for the church, and songs you can sing at the highest of highs or the lowest of lows. His music scratches the deeper surface of God's nature and goodness. He refers to his two solo EPs, Idaho and American Dream, as his “Monday music” (i.e., that would encourage people in their day-to-day walk with God). Pappas looks forward to stepping back into writing songs for the church to sing on Sundays and boldly proclaim the Gospel.

 

“Alexander Pappas is a worship leader and songwriter who’s walked a difficult road the past few years," shares President of Integrity Music, Blaine Barcus. "The pain and loss he’s experienced is now being used by God to birth honest songs of joy, celebration, and freedom. The Integrity team is genuinely excited to partner with Alex at this time on his journey with Jesus. We have no doubt these new songs are going to touch hearts in powerful ways!”

 

His first release with Integrity will be a bilingual deluxe single, "A Great Awakening / Un Nuevo Despertar," which will be released on June 27th. This marks the beginning of a new season for Pappas, with more songs coming later this year — honest, Spirit-led, and crafted to draw people closer to the heart of God.
