Childhood
Joe Jonas was born on August 15, 1989, in Casa Grande, USA. He wasn't the only child in the family; his parents raised three other sons: Kevin, Nick, and Frankie. The boys' mother, Denise Miller, was a renowned singer, while their father, Paul Jonas, always had a passion for music and wrote songs himself. As Joe grew older, he too became interested in music and dancing.

While still in school, the brothers caught the attention of a Columbia Records executive. After hearing their home recording, he offered them a record deal. The song that changed their fate was "Please Be Mine." After signing the deal, the boys started brainstorming a name for the band. Initially, they wanted to name it "Sons of Jonas," but after some discussions, they decided that "Jonas Brothers" would sound much better.

In the summer of 2006, they released their debut album "It's About Time," which instantly sold 50,000 copies.

That same summer, they released another album simply titled "Jonas Brothers." Almost instantly, they gained a massive fan base and even managed to secure the 5th spot on the Billboard 200 chart.
