Elle Limebear (née Smith; born 2 April 1997) is a British worship singer, songwriter and artist.\n

Early life and family

Elle Limebear was born to Martin Smith and Anna Smith in 1997 in Chichester, England. She grew up in Rustington in a religious family. Her grandfather was the pastor of the local church, Arun Community Church.\n

In 2015, she joined her father's band and leads worship at various churches and tours. She has been married to Tom Limebear since 2017 and lives in Brighton, England. They have three children together, named Maccabee, Wilson and Billie.\n

Career

In May 2018, she was signed by Provident Label Group, a Christian music label owned by Sony Music. Later that year, she released her first single \"Love Song\" in collaboration with One Sonic Society which peaked at No. 31 on the Billboard Christian Airplay Charts. In January 2019, Limebear was featured in The Own It Tour, a tour by Francesca Battistelli, along with Stars Go Dim. In June 2019, it was announced that Limebear would be part of I Am They's tour, The Trial & Triumph. In the same year, she released her first EP, titled Elle Limebear.\n

In February 2020, Limebear released her debut album, Lost In Wonder. In March 2020, she set out on The Roadshow 2020 tour to promote her album, but the tour was cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic. In November 2020, she released another EP, Live from Catalyst. The EP consists of three songs, including \"Glorious Day\", \"Maker of the Moon\", and \"Lord You Have My Heart\". In the same year, she was nominated for GMA Dove Award in the New Artist of the Year category.\n

In 2022, she received a BMI Christian Award for \"Alive & Breathing\" along with Matt Maher. The song had been No. 1 on Billboard's Christian Airplay Chart in 2020 for five weeks.\n

Limebear is also a member of a music band named Manor Collective, a group of writers, artists, producers and friends of different skin colours and cultures who first got together at a big English Manor House, in the Hampshire countryside.\n

In 2025, Limebear independently released her second studio album, Welcome to the Bloodline, through Wings Music Group. The album explored themes of faith, family, marriage and motherhood, and was supported by a sold-out UK headline tour.\n

In 2026, Limebear signed with Decca Records, becoming the label's first contemporary Christian artist. Her first single with the label, \"Give Me Joy\", was released in July 2026. The song topped the UK Christian & Gospel Singles Chart, reached number seven on the UK Singles Downloads Chart and peaked at number two on the UK iTunes all-genre chart.\n
