As a native to Sydney, Australia, Bede Benjamin-Korporaal grew up among the creative family and leadership at Hillsong Church. Inspired by peers and predecessors in his worship community, Bede began writing at a young age which prepared him to be a part of the Hillsong Young & Free team from its inception. After years of development in his hometown, Bede and his wife Izzy moved across the globe to join Nashville’s community of writers while preserving his deep connection to the Harbour City. Bede’s thoughtful worship and modern pop influence can be heard on diverse tracks like Passion’s “Breakthrough Miracle Power”, Chris McClarney’s “Valley”, Cory Asbury’s “Death Where is Your Sting” and “Every Little Thing” from Hillsong Young & Free.
