Kevin was raised in Wyckoff, New Jersey and is of Irish, Italian, German, and Cherokee Indian descent. He is a member of the band, Jonas Brothers. His band is made up of him and his two other brothers: Nick Jonas and Joe Jonas.

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 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.
