For King & Country’s History

The brothers Joel and Luke were born in Sydney and eventually relocated to Nashville in 1991. They were already involved in music due to several of their family members. The Smallbones are the younger brothers of Christian recording artist Rebecca St. James and brothers-in-law of Jacob Fink, from the band Foster the People. Their father was a music promoter and was the reason why the two brothers got exposed to music from a very early age. In high school, they started singing background vocals for their sister, Rebbeca and soon for various other bands in concerts all across the US. After Luke graduated from high school, the two brothers started exploring the potential in their music-making ability. They formed their own band, going by the name Joel & Luke. In 2008, they released their first EP, titled A Tale of Two Towns with six songs. In 2009, the brothers were signed on to the Warner Music Group and had producer Ben Glover working with them.
