Joel David Smallbone (born 5 June 1984) is an Australian singer and actor. He is a member of the Christian pop duo for King & Country along with his brother Luke Smallbone. He played the role of James Stevens in the 2016 film Priceless. Smallbone was born in Sydney, but moved to Nashville, Tennessee in 1991.
