Nick Jonas

Nicholas Jerry Jonas or Nick Jonas as he is known, is an American singer, songwriter and actor. He started his acting career at the age of 7, portraying the characters Tiny Tim, Chip Potts, Little Jake, and Gavroche among others on Broadway. He had been referred to a professional show business manager at the age of 6 when he was spotted at a barbershop with his mom.

His foray into music began in 2002 when he wrote a song with his father titled Joy to the World (A Christmas Prayer) while performing in Beauty and the Beast. The song was later released through INO Records to Christian Radio in 2003, and it became Nick's debut single.

JONAS BROTHERS:

The song led him to be noticed by Columbia Records, and Nick began his singing career with his brothers co-writing songs for an album. When Columbia Records president, Steve Greenberg, heard the song Please Be Mine he decided to sign Nick and his brothers as a group. This led to their group being named Jonas Brothers. Nick and his brothers moved on from Columbia Records and signed up with Hollywood Records in 2007.

The band began to have some problems in 2013, after they cancelled their highly anticipated tour in October only days before it was set to begin. The reasons cited were a 'deep rift within the band' over 'creative differences'. The brothers officially confirmed on October 29 that the band had split up for good.

Nick made his film debut along with his brothers in the Disney Channel film Camp Rock (2008), starring alongside Demi Lovato, and in May 2008 he and the band began starring in their own Disney series Jonas Brothers: Living the Dream.
