Jonas Brothers Biography: (2005-) and Event Information

Jonas Brothers: Before Fame

The Jonas Brothers consists of three powerhouse personalities: 19-year old Kevin Jonas, 14-year old Nicholas Jonas, and 17-year old Joseph Jonas. While music has always been part of the Jonas Brothers’ lives, fame has not. Kevin, Nicholas, and Joseph grew up in an especially musical family in New Jersey. With musicians for parents, the Jonas Brothers inevitably developed an interest for music. Singing along with the piano was a common form of family time, but the Jonas Brothers each soon developed their own artistic personalities.

Kevin Jonas was fascinated by the guitar and taught himself how to play, and now Kevin Jonas plays the guitar and sings back-up vocals in the group. Singing has always been Nicholas Jonas’ passion, and he and Joseph Jonas shares lead vocals. Joseph Jonas had aspirations of becoming a comedian, but he “… was always attached to music and loved listening to different kinds… especially rock.”

Before becoming a band, the Jonas Brothers appeared in numerous commercials for companies including LEGOS, Clorox, and Burger King. However, the Jonas Brothers soon realized their passion lay in the music making. The Jonas Brothers were signed on the spot after an amazing group audition for Columbia Records, and the Jonas Brothers could finally pursue their dreams. As the Jonas Brothers began writing songs for their first album, the Jonas Brothers felt that it was “the most natural thing we could be doing.” The Jonas Brothers’ inspiration for their songs came directly from personal experience and varied from romantic interests to accomplishing their dreams.

“The album is meant to get people up and have fun and raises their energy,” says Joseph regarding It’s About Time. Prior to the album’s release, the Jonas Brothers toured throughout 2005 with Kelly Clarkson, Aly & AJ, the Backstreet Boys, to name a few.

Meanwhile, the Jonas Brothers’ first single “Mandy” was being shown on MTV and peaked at No. 4. Another of the Jonas Brothers’ songs, “Time for Me to Fly,” was featured on the Aquamarine soundtrack.
