Biography

Nicholas Jerry Jonas, born on September 16, 1992, is an accomplished American singer, songwriter, and actor. He embarked on his acting journey on Broadway at the tender age of seven and made his music debut in 2002. His talent caught the eye of Columbia Records, leading to the formation of the band Jonas Brothers with his older siblings, Joe and Kevin. In 2006, they launched their first studio album, *It's About Time*, under Columbia. The group later transitioned to Hollywood Records, where their self-titled second album in 2007 marked a significant turning point in their career. During this period, they became household names on the Disney Channel, starring in the successful musical film *Camp Rock* (2008) and its sequel, as well as the series *Jonas Brothers: Living the Dream* (2008–2010) and *Jonas* (2009–2010).

Their third album, *A Little Bit Longer* (2008), further solidified their success, with the hit single "Burnin' Up" reaching the top five on the Billboard Hot 100. Following a hiatus after their fourth album, *Lines, Vines and Trying Times* (2009), Jonas created a new band, Nick Jonas & the Administration, releasing the album *Who I Am* in 2010. He also pursued acting with roles in *Smash* and various Broadway productions. After the Jonas Brothers disbanded in 2013, he shifted his focus back to a solo career, signing with Island Records and achieving success with his self-titled album in 2014, featuring the popular single "Jealous." In 2016, he released *Last Year Was Complicated*, which peaked at number two on the Billboard 200 chart. He won the Hal David Starlight Award from the Songwriters Hall of Fame that same year. Jonas starred in *Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle* in
