Work with Hillsong Church (2004–2024)

King attended Hillsong Church with his family while growing up, and in 2004, he became involved himself in their ministry himself. In 2012, after several involvement with the association's ministry, King became one of the founding members of Hillsong Young & Free — a spinoff of Hillsong United targeted towards younger audiences. King experienced notable success with the collective; their debut album, We Are Young & Free (2013) topped the Billboard Top Christian Albums chart and peaked at number 22 on the Billboard 200. Following Hillsong Church's COVID-19 rule breaches and public scandals in 2021, King became less active with the collective because he believed it \"started to look different\", and in 2025 announced that he had officially left.\n
