Matt Crocker Of Hillsong UNITED Releases First-Ever Solo Project

Master September 3, 2026 3 min read 0

Matt Crocker, the longstanding member and vocalist of Hillsong UNITED and Hillsong Worship, announces his first-ever solo music endeavor and official signing with Anotherland —a creative collective and label partner helping usher in a new chapter of his artistry.

The partnership comes alongside a momentous decade-long career, in which Matt Crocker has written and performed some of the most celebrated anthems in contemporary Christian music, including “Oceans (Where Feet May Fail),” “This I Believe (The Creed),” and “I Surrender,” collectively reaching over 5 billion streams worldwide.

Now, the multi-platinum singer-songwriter reveals he has been writing new music that draws from his many musical influences including The Yeah Yeah Yeah’s, The Beatles, Arcade Fire, Radiohead and Travis, which brings what he describes as a “new sound, new words, new medicine for the soul — yet still grounded in the truth that nothing will ever compare to the Creator of all.”

“Never have I ever stepped out into the realm of a ‘solo’ creative space. Never really wanted to, never really thought I would,” Matt Crocker states on his Instagram. He explains, “I’ve always had the privilege of doing this with my best friends, which was always enough for me. But somewhere along the way, a couple years ago, I felt a gentle push to start seeing what was perhaps in me to find that God has uniquely deposited in me, as He does all of us.”

Matt Crocker’s first song features his signature, anthemic vocals in “hallelujah,” recently released on all music platforms including to his 2.5 million monthly listeners on Spotify. In conjunction, a live performance music video titled “hallelujah (Live from Two Palms studios)” is also now available. The video was shot from a rooftop capturing what Crocker describes as a “jam-session with my best friends.”

The Sydney native and global-touring artist follows “hallelujah” with his second song, a tender ballad titled “love me as i am,” now streaming and supported with the release of a live music video companion, “love me as i am (Live from Two Palms studios).” Both songs offer a first glimpse into the heart of Crocker’s solo project. “hallelujah” is an anthemic reflection on God’s goodness and presence—raw, worshipful, and captured live in a rooftop jam session with close friends, while “love me as i am” follows as a vulnerable prayer of surrender and identity, written from a place of transformation and gratitude for God’s unchanging love.

As these early songs and video releases build excitement, Matt Crocker will continue to launch new music in the coming weeks in anticipation of his debut solo album expected later this year.
