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. At the age of 7, Nick began performing on Broadway. He had acted in several plays, including A Christmas Carol (in 2000 as Tiny Tim and Scrooge at eight).

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).” Nick performed the song on the 2002 annual Broadway “Equity Fights AIDS” album, Broadway’s Greatest Gifts: Carols for a Cure, Vol. 4.

While Nicholas was working on his solo project, Joe Jonas followed in his footsteps to Broadway, appearing in Baz Lurhmann’s production of La Boheme.

By September 2004, an executive at Columbia Records found out about Nick’s song. Nick was soon jointly signed to INO Records and Columbia Records and released the single “Dear God.”

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. After meeting with Nick and hearing the song, “Please Be Mine,” written and performed by the brothers, Daylight/Columbia Records decided to sign the three as a group act.

The Jonas brothers surely are burning hot among teenagers!
