His full name is Nick Jerry Jonas and he was born in Dallas Texas on September 16 1992 and sings pop music. He is a singer, songwriter, actor, producer, and model. He plays the guitar, bass, piano, keyboards, percussion and drums.




He started his career at 6 years old at a barber shop while his mom got a haircut. First him and his brother called there group the Sons of Jonas then they were called The Jonas Brothers. 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.


 By September 2004, an executive at Columbia Records discovered Jonas' song. He was soon jointly signed to INO Records and Columbia Records and released the single "Dear God". A second single, "Joy to the World (A Christmas Prayer)" (a re-recorded version), was released on November 16. It was supposed to be followed by a December release of a self-titled solo album Nicholas Jonas, but the album  was pushed back.


 It did, however, get a limited release. Nick, along with his brothers, Kevin and Joe, co-wrote songs for the album. In early 2005, Columbia Records' new president, Steve Greenberg, heard Jonas' record. While Greenberg did not like the album, he did like Nick's voice.


  It's About Time, the brothers' first album was released on August 8, 2006. According to the band's manager, it was only a "limited release" of a little over 50,000 copies.  The band was ultimately dropped by Columbia Records in early 2007.


The reality short series, Jonas Brothers: Living the Dream. premiered on Disney Channel on May 16, 2008. The show  which ran until September 5, 2008, documents the brothers' lives on the Look Me in the Eyes Tour. He was also on Hannah Montana, Camp Rock and Camp Rock: The final Jam.


 They made a Disney series called JONAS. For the second season they renamed it JONAS L.A. Jonas appeared in the 2011 series Mr. Sunshine; he played Eli White, an up-and-coming singer who wants everything his way before he performs at the Sunshine Center.


In February 2012, he appeared in episode of Smash in the role of Lyle West, a young musician and television star backing a promising Broadway musical; Jonas will reprise the role of Lyle West in the show's season finale on May 14.


On May 21, 2013 it was announced that on June 16 Nick would co-host the Miss USA 2013 competition on NBC. On October 9, 2013, the group cancelled their highly anticipated comeback tour days before it was slated to start, citing a "deep rift within the band" over "creative differences.


On February 4, 2014, it was announced that he would be working as the musical and creative director for the tour. In an interview with Rolling Stones, Nick stated "I'm overseeing video content, wardrobe, lighting and staging, and then I'm extending into the musical side of things, which includes creating the arrangements for the song.


Jonas will open up for Maroon 5 for their Maroon 5 World Tour 2015. and for Kelly Clarkson on her Piece by Piece Tour in October 2015. On May 18, 2015, just one day after the 2015 Billboard Music Awards, where he performed his Double Platinum hit song "Jealous", Jonas announced a new tour across North America to support his eponymous studio album.  He revealed on August 13, that his new single would be called Levels and that it would be released on August 21.
