Band biography
Nicholas Jonas: discovery and solo album (1999-2005)
The band started as a solo project of Nicholas Jonas. When Nick was 6 years old, he was discovered while singing at a barber shop and was referred to a professional show business manager.[2][3][4] At the age of 7, Nick began performing on Broadway.[5][6] He had acted in several plays, including A Christmas Carol (in 2000 as Tiny Tim and Scrooge at eight), Annie Get Your Gun (in 2001 as Little Jake), Beauty and the Beast (in 2002 as Chip), and Les Misérables (in 2003 as Gavroche).[6][7][8][9] After Les Misérables closed, he performed in The Sound of Music (as Kurt) at the Paper Mill Playhouse.[10]
In 2002 while performing in Beauty and the Beast, Nick had written a song with his father called "Joy To The World (A Christmas Prayer)." With background vocals from the Beauty and the Beast cast, Nick performed the song on the 2002 annual Broadway "Equity Fights AIDS" album, Broadway's Greatest Gifts: Carols for a Cure, Vol. 4.[11][12][13] In November 2003, INO Records received a demo copy of "Joy To The World (A Christmas Prayer)."[14] The label released the song to Christian radio, where it quickly became popular on Record & Radio's Christian Adult Contemporary Chart.[12] While Nicholas was working on his solo project, Joseph followed in his footsteps to Broadway. Joseph appeared in the Baz Lurhmann's broadway production of "La Boheme".
"Dear God" single
"Joy to the World (A Christmas Prayer)" singleBy September 2004, an executive at Columbia Records found out about Nick's song.[11][12] Nick was soon jointly signed to INO Records and Columbia Records and released the single "Dear God."[15][16] A second single, "Joy To The World (A Christmas Prayer)" (a new solo recording), was released on November 16.[17] It was supposed to be followed by a December release of a self-titled solo album, but the album had been pushed back.[18] But did get a limited release.[19] Nick, along with Kevin and Joe, had written several other songs for the album.[11]
In early 2005, Columbia Records' new president Steve Greenberg, listened to Nick's record. While Greenberg did not like the album, he did like Nick's voice.[20] After meeting with Nick and hearing the song, "Please Be Mine," written and performed by the brothers, Daylight/Columbia Records had decided to sign the three as a group act.[11][21][22] However, on May 17, 2005, one song from the original album, "Crazy Kind of Crush on You," was released on the Darcy's Wild Life soundtrack.[23]

It's About Time (2005-2006)
After being signed to Columbia, the brothers considered naming their group "Sons of Jonas," before settling on the name the "Jonas Brothers".[24][25]
Throughout 2005, the Jonas Brothers went on several tours, including Kelly Clarkson, Jesse McCartney, the Backstreet Boys, and the Click Five.[2][26] They spent the later portion of the year on an anti-drug tour with Aly & AJ and The Cheetah Girls.[26][27] Additionally, they opened for the Veronicas in early 2006.[11]
For the album, titled It's About Time, the band collaborated with several writers, including Adam Schlesinger (Fountains of Wayne), Michael Mangini (Joss Stone), Desmond Child (Aerosmith, Bon Jovi), Billy Mann (Destiny's Child, Jessica Simpson) and Steve Greenberg (Joss Stone, Hanson).[27] The album was initially supposed to be released in February 2006, but was pushed back several times.[11][21][26][27] The delay was due to executive changes at Sony (the parent company of Columbia) and the executives' desire to have "another lead single." For the album, the Jonas Brothers covered two hit songs by UK band Busted - "Year 3000" and "What I Go to School For".[20]
The Jonas Brothers' first single, "Mandy," was released on December 27, 2005.[28]. Its music video was shown on MTV's Total Request Live on February 22, 2006[4] and reached number four.[25] Also in February, another of the Jonas' songs, "Time for Me to Fly," was released on the Aquamarine soundtrack.[29] In March, "Mandy" was featured in the Nickelodeon television film Zoey 101: Spring Break-Up and the Zoey 101: Music Mix soundtrack album (artist listed as Nicholas Jonas).[29] The group's music was also been featured on the Cartoon Network's Cartoon Cartoon Fridays program.[2][29] The band covered "Yo Ho (A Pirate's Life for Me)" from Pirates of the Caribbean for the DisneyMania 4 album, released on April 4, 2006.[30] Over the summer of 2006, the Jonas Brothers went on tour with Aly and AJ.[31] The Jonas Brothers also created the theme song for the second season of American Dragon Jake Long, airing from June 2006 to September 2007 on the Disney Channel.[29][32]
It's About Time was finally released on August 8, 2006.[33] According to the band's manager, it was only a "limited release" of 50,000 copies. Because Sony was not interested in further promoting the band, the Jonas Brothers then considered switching labels.[20]
On October 3, 2006, Nick's 2004 solo single, "Joy to the World (A Christmas Prayer)," was re-released on Joy to the World: The Ultimate Christmas Collection.[34] Also in October, the Jonas Brothers covered "Poor Unfortunate Souls" from The Little Mermaid. Along with a music video, the song was released on a two disk special edition release of The Little Mermaid soundtrack.[35] The second single released off of the album was "Year 3000." The song became popular on Radio Disney, and the music video debuted on the Disney Channel in mid-January 2007.[20]
The band was ultimately dropped by Columbia Records in early 2007.[25]

Quotes
Nick: Technically, flirting is a dangerous thing because you never know if someone is flirting with you or just giving you a compliment. There is an actual difference.
Nick: I've never had a girlfriend during Christmastime. But I think the perfect holiday date scenario would be Christmas in New York City. I'd like to go down to central Park, hang out by the ice skating rink, possibly Rockefeller Center. There's a couple of thing you've just gotta see when you're in New York City.
Nick:(about gossip) I just think it's funny. Because you take a picture with somebody, then automatically you're dating. I just laugh it off.
Nick: You should be able to share everything with your girlfriend.
Nick: When I was eight, I had a snow day. Both of my best friends were off from school and we played this game where we lived in an imaginary life (called snow Muntain). I think I got frostbite, but it's all good.

Nick: In the moment, I'll have a strong inspiration for [lyrics], and most of the time I really want to get it off my chest and, like, let it go, whereas other people mat write it down in a journal and be done with it or vent and get it out. I like to do that...but with songwriting. I'll just wanna write it, most of the time, songs that come out of it are really cool.
Nick: I once ate a two-pound steak all by myself!
Nick: It's embarrassing for me to text message back and forth with a girl. I'm asking all these questions just to continue a conversation when I should just be hanging out with her.

Nick: (about being a heartthrob) It's any guy's dream and the fact that I'm able to live it is awesome.

Nick: I crush on girls who are kinda quiet, too.
Nick: I'm not shy, but I am quiet. I don't like to meet a lot of people.

HOT HOT HOT HOT
The highly anticipated follow-up to the New Jersey siblings’ 2006 debut—which featured the TRL hit “Mandy”—The Jonas Brothers is sure to make good on the band’s goal: It’s a high-energy pop-punk disc overflowing with insanely catchy hooks, muscular guitar fuzz and mature songwriting that reveals just how much growing up the boys have done since we last heard from them.
Talk about something for everyone: In “S.O.S.” they attack a fierce dance-rock groove, while in “Hello Beautiful” they go soulful and acoustic. “Games” rides a laidback reggae groove the Police would envy, then switches gears into a zippy Ramones-style rave-up. “Hollywood” pairs a tricky funk beat with divebombing guitar lines,” and “When You Look Me in the Eyes” builds to a power-ballad crescendo. In “Goodnight and Goodbye,” the album’s most ambitious cut, they combine Warped Tour-style punk with musical-theatre trimmings inspired by Nick’s years on Broadway in Les Misérables and Beauty and the Beast. Throughout the album, the boys reflect on a variety of emotional hardships without losing their grip on the positive vibe that underpins all their music.
Remarkably eclectic yet bound together by the brothers’ trademark harmony vocals, the CD is the natural result of the wild times the Jonases have experienced lately. After spending much of 2006 supporting their debut on the road with tween-scene heavyweights such as Jesse McCartney, the Veronicas and Aly & AJ, the brothers found themselves reaching a new audience earlier this year when the Disney Channel put the band’s “Year 3000” video into heavy rotation. “As soon as that happened, the song entered the Top 10 on iTunes and our MySpace comments doubled,” Kevin marvels. “It was almost impossible to keep up with the new friend requests!”
It didn’t get any easier: The band’s profile continued to rise over the next few months thanks to appearances on Radio Disney and the Meet the Robinsons soundtrack, where the Jonases remade Kim Wilde’s “Kids in America” as “Kids of the Future.”
Eager to provide their quickly expanding fanbase with new music, the band entered L.A.’s Seedy Underbelly studio in February with producer John Fields, whose work on Switchfoot’s The Beautiful Letdown had made the boys huge fans of his. “John lives rock music,” Joe says of the producer, who’s also worked with Rooney and Pink. “We always thought it would be so cool to work with him.”
They worked quickly, recording the album from beginning to end in a mere 21 days, a feat they accomplished in part because they knew the material so well: Where their debut featured work by a handful of professional songwriters, The Jonas Brothers only contains songs penned by the Jonas Brothers themselves, with occasional assists by pals like Bleu (“That’s Just the Way We Roll”), P.J. Bianco (“When You Look Me in the Eyes”) and the boys’ own backing band (“Games”). “As brothers, we just know how to work together,” Nick explains.
“When we signed to Hollywood,” Kevin remembers, “we told the label, ‘Hey, we have some demos of songs we’ve been writing for the past year and a half.’ We thought it’d be so funny to just record those songs for the album to see what we could get away with. But those turned out to be the songs on the record!”
The brothers say their writing reveals a lifetime of influences—everything from My Chemical Romance to the Backstreet Boys to Weird Al Yankovic (with whom the band recently shared the stage at New Jersey’s Bamboozle festival). Still, what you really hear on The Jonas Brothers is the sound of three young musicians finding their own voice—their own distinctive blend of Nick’s way with an R&B vocal, Joe’s love of danceable beats and Kevin’s obsession with guitar solos.
“This album is so us,” says Joe. “The first one was us kind of coming into what the Jonas Brothers could be,” Kevin adds. “Whereas this one really shows off where we’re at right now.” The youngest Jonas but perhaps the wisest, Nick concludes thus: “We love what we’re doing and we want to do it for a while.”
