Sweet freedom! Australian singer Cody Simpson performs songs from new album Free at club in Hollywood 

He recently took part in a shoot for Ralph Lauren's Denim & Supply.

But on Friday Cody Simpson was back to what made him famous - strumming his acoustic guitar. 

The 18-year-old performed for a crowd that had gathered at the Hollywood Roosevelt Hotel in California, playing new songs from his album Free.

Cody wore a blue T-shirt and button up combo, completing his look with a pair of jeans and black Vans.

His acoustic guitar was adorned with several scribblings, including a peace sign and a house with a chimney blowing clouds of smoke, though he would later trade it for an electric axe. 

Instagramming a shot from the event, the Pretty Brown Eyes singer wrote: 'Thanks @denimandsupplyrl and the Roosevelt for throwing a sick album release party. was so fun to jam these new tunes.'

Free is Cody's first independently released album, with his first two, Paradise and Surfer's Paradise, produced and distributed by Atlantic Records.

Last week it was revealed that Cody would be appearing in Ralph Lauren Denim & Supply's Fall 2015 campaign.

He's joined by the likes of Hailey Baldwin and Bella Hadid - the sister of his ex girlfriend Gigi.

Cody and Gigi, 20, began dating late 2013 and split in May, with the beautiful blonde issuing a statement to E! News, part of which said 'They remain friends with no hard feelings.'

Gigi is rumoured to be dating musician Joe Jonas now, while Cody has been linked to Maxim model Carmella Rose.
