== Discography ==
==Background==
The group formed in 2012 out of [[Sydney]], Australia, where they were located at [[Hillsong Church]]. Their members are [[contemporary worship|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. <ref name="CR Story">{{cite web|first=Chris|last=Mountford|title=Hillsong Young & Free: The latest offshoot of the Australian movement |url=http://www.crossrhythms.co.uk/articles/music/Hillsong_Young__Free_The_latest_offshoot_of_the_Australian_movement/52762/p1/|publisher=[[Cross Rhythms]]|accessdate=5 March 2016|date=11 December 2013}}</ref><ref name="AM Bio">{{cite web|first=David|last=Jeffries|title=Hillsong Young & Free : Biography|url=http://www.allmusic.com/artist/hillsong-young-free-mn0003139286/biography|publisher=[[AllMusic]]|accessdate=5 March 2016}}</ref><ref name="BB Interview">{{cite web|first=Jim|last=Askar|title=Hillsong Young & Free on New Live Album 'Youth Revival': 'The Focus Is on the Message' |url=http://www.billboard.com/articles/news/6890367/hillsong-young-free-interview-youth-revival-album-interview|journal=[[Billboard (magazine)|Billboard]]|accessdate=5 March 2016|date=28 February 2016}}</ref><ref name="CCM Interview">{{cite web |first=Daniel |last=Ritchie |title=Hillsong Young & Free Q&A |url=https://www.ccmmagazine.com/features/hillsong-young-free-qa/ |journal=[[CCM Magazine]] |accessdate=31 March 2016 |date=31 March 2016}}</ref>
