Biography of Nick Jonas
Nicholas "Nick" Jonas is an American singer and a member of the boy band Jonas Brothers. The group's name is no coincidence: all its members are biological brothers. After the band split in 2013, Nick Jonas pursued a solo career and started acting in movies. ### Childhood and First Steps to Fame Nick was born into a large, close-knit religious family from Texas (the family later moved to New Jersey). His father, Paul Kevin Jonas, is a musician, composer, and former Pentecostal minister at the "Assemblies of God" church. His mother, Denise Miller, is a singer who sacrificed her career for her four sons, Nick and his three brothers: Joe, Kevin, and Frankie. Nick is the third oldest. From an early age, the boys showed extraordinary creative abilities, which their parents actively nurtured. Among the brothers, Nick stood out. Besides having a great voice and perfect pitch, he showed clear acting talents. At the age of six, while accompanying his mother to a hair salon, an agent who specialized in finding young talent noticed his voice. A year later, Nick was already performing on Broadway, and at nine, he wrote the lyrics to the popular Christmas song "Joy to the World". He first performed this song on a Christian radio station and soon got a contract with Columbia Records, recording another song, "Dear God". Finding out that Nick had two musician brothers (the third, Frankie, was still too young), company representatives suggested they form a musical group similar to Michael Jackson's "Jackson 5". Thus, the Jonas Brothers group was formed, quickly becoming popular not only in America but also beyond. Undoubtedly, Nick was the undisputed leader of the group, skillfully playing the piano and guitar and possessing a strong voice.Jonas Brothers and Other Projects
In 2005, the newly formed boy band began working on their debut album and toured as the opening act for popular performers like Backstreet Boys and George Michael. In December of that year, the group's first single, "Mandy," was released along with a music video. In August 2006, the album "It's All About Time" was released in a limited edition of 50,000 copies. The label didn't have high expectations for the group, so the boys decided to sign with Hollywood Records. In the spring of 2007, under the new label's guidance, the Jonas Brothers released a new self-titled album. The album was successful, reaching number 5 on the Billboard 200 national chart. When the musicians appeared in an episode of "Hannah Montana" with Miley Cyrus, their career took off. In 2008 and 2009, the group released an album each year. Meanwhile, in 2009, Nick introduced his solo album "Who I Am," recorded with the support of The Administration. Here's what Nick recalled about the creation of this side project:The group existed until 2011, after which it became difficult for Nick to manage two projects. He abandoned The Administration, and the brothers took a short break from their main activities to start recording a new album in 2012. By then, they had terminated their contract with the studio, so they worked on it in Nick's home recording studio.I wrote 5 or 6 sincere songs that came straight from the heart, pouring out with a new exciting sound. They didn't fit within the 'Jonas Brothers' framework, but I couldn't let them go to waste.
The album was released on September 23, 2013, but on October 30, the Jonas Brothers announced that they were ending their concert activities. After that, Nick began working on his second solo album and helped his good friend, singer Demi Lovato, with organizing her world tour, performing with her several times. In the summer of 2014, the singer released the single "Chains," which didn't gain much popularity among listeners, unlike the next song "Jealous," which made it to the top 10 of the Billboard 100 in the "solo artist" category. That same year, the album "Nick Jonas" debuted at number 6 on the Billboard 200 chart. The album, which included 11 tracks, received mostly positive reviews from critics. In his music, Nick is influenced by the works of Stevie Wonder and Prince. This provides him with significant potential for further development. In the summer of 2016, Nick recorded his third solo album "Last Year Was Complicated." Besides the lead track "Close," it included 11 songs.
In 2019, Jonas released the album "Happiness Begins" (with Jonas Brothers) and joined the judging panel for the 18th season of "The Voice," replacing Gwen Stefani. Two years later, he returned to the show for the 20th season.When I thought about recording a new album, I already knew what it would be about. I wanted to dive really deep. Shit happens too often. Reliving it in real life again... it's tough even through music.
