老大Kevin Jonas現(xiàn)年21歲會彈吉他,老二Joe Jonas現(xiàn)年19歲會彈吉他、鋼琴，打小手鼓,老三Nick Jonas現(xiàn)年16歲會彈吉他，打鼓，和彈鋼琴,他們就是美國當紅的Rock Pop樂隊－Jonas Brothers. 大事記 關于Nicholas Jonas(Nick Jonas)以及個人專輯(1999-2005) 樂隊一開始是為了給Nicholas Jonas制作一張個人專輯的.當Nick6歲的時候,他在理發(fā)店里理發(fā)的時候唱歌而被發(fā)現(xiàn)的并且還被推薦給一個專業(yè)的娛樂行業(yè)經(jīng)理 .在Nick7歲的時候,他就開始在百老匯表演.他表演過幾部劇,包括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).在Les Misérables結束后,他在Paper Mill Playhouse里表演The Sound of Music中的Kurt. 2002年時,當他在表演Beauty and the Beast時,他已經(jīng)和他爸爸寫了一首叫作”Joy to the world(A Christmas Prayer)”的歌曲,由Beauty and the Beast的演員作為合聲,Nick在2002年百老匯的Equity Fiths AIDS的專輯(Broadway’s Greatest Gifts: Carols for a Cure, Vol. 4)中演唱了這首歌曲. 2003年,INO唱片收到了Joy to the world(a christmas prayer)的樣本唱片,并且將它發(fā)表給了基督教廣播,從那里,這首歌很快就成為Record & Radio’s Christian Adult Contemporar榜單上相當受歡迎的曲目. 當Nicholas在制作他的個人專輯時,Joseph(Joe Jonas)也相繼步入百老匯表演,他出現(xiàn)在了La Boheme中. 2004年9月,哥倫比亞唱片公司的一個經(jīng)濟管理人員發(fā)現(xiàn)了Nick的歌曲,Nick便很快一同與INO和哥倫比亞唱片都簽署了合同并第一首單曲 “Dear God”.第二首單曲Joy to the world(a christmas prayer)在11月16日發(fā)行了.其實,這首單曲本來是應該在Nicholas Jonas的同名專輯發(fā)行后再發(fā)行的,但這張專輯最終被退回而沒有正式發(fā)行,只是發(fā)行了一批限量版本.在這張為正式發(fā)行的專輯中Nick和Kevin和 Joe還寫了幾首其他的歌曲. 在2005年早期,哥倫比亞唱片的新總裁Steve Greenberg,聽過了Nick的唱片后,盡管他不喜歡這張專輯但卻尤其喜歡Nick的聲音.在會見了Nick并且聽到3個兄弟寫的歌曲Please Be Mine后,Daylight/Columbia 唱片決定于3兄弟簽上合同,讓他們作為一個表演組合.然而,05年5月17日,一首來自未發(fā)行的原唱片(Nicholas Jonas)的歌曲Crazy Kind of crush on you在Darcy’s Wild Life的原聲碟中出現(xiàn)了. One of the most popular teen-affiliated groups of the 2000s, the Jonas Brothers' craft hook-filled power pop anthems in the vein of McFly, Hanson, and the Modern Lovers. The young New Jersey natives (while readying their 2006 debut, brothers Joseph, Kevin, and Nicholas Jonas topped out at 16, 17, and 13, respectively) were reared in the city of Wyckoff under the tutelage of musical parents. Nicholas showed a particular flair for singing; by the age of seven, he'd already begun a modest career as a Broadway performer. The young performer also took an interest in songwriting, even co-writing a Christmas tune in 2002 alongside his father. Several years later, his soulful voice had wowed enough executives at Daylight/Columbia Records to warrant a solo album, and Nicholas began writing original material with help from his two brothers. The siblings' songs impressed the president of Columbia, who ultimately signed the trio in 2005. The Jonas Brothers' full-length debut, It's About Time, was released in August 2006. Featuring the songwriting talents of Desmond Child and Fountains of Wayne's Adam Schlesinger, the album peaked at number 91 on the Billboard charts and earned the siblings a modest audience, particularly among fans of Radio Disney. Nevertheless, the Jonas Brothers were dropped from Columbia's roster in early 2007. They bounced back by signing with Hollywood Records, a Disney-owned label that helped the group exponentially expand its fanbase. An eponymous sophomore album, Jonas Brothers, arrived in August 2007, supported by a number of Jonas Brothers appearances on the Disney Channel's various programs. The band also toured in support of the record, selling out shows coast to coast -- including a stop at the Gibson Amphitheater in Los Angeles, which was the fastest sold-out show in the venue's history. The reality television show Jonas Brothers: Living the Dream documented the band's life on the road, and the band's TV presence was furthered along by Camp Rock, a 2008 Disney Channel television movie that featured the brothers and up-and-coming star Demi Lovato. The movie was watched by 8.9 million viewers and launched the Jonas Brothers' next single, "Burnin' Up," which helped whet demand for the release of A Little Bit Longer later that year.
