Part of the "Jonas Brothers" band....<br/><br/>

The band started as a solo project of Nicholas Jonas. Nick was discovered while singing at a barber shop and was referred to a professional show business manager.<br/><br/>

Nick soon was performing on Broadway. He had acted in several plays, including Beauty and the Beast (in 2002 as Chip), Annie Get Your Gun (as Little Jake), A Christmas Carol (as Tiny Tim and Scrooge at eight), and Les Misérables (in 2003 as Gavroche).

In 2002, Nick had written a song for his father, called "Joy To The World (A Christmas Prayer)." His father subsequently performed the song and it was released on the 2002 annual Broadway "Equity Fights AIDS" album, Broadway's Greatest Gifts: Carols for a Cure, Vol. 4. In November 2003, INO Records received a demo copy of Nick singing "Joy To The World (A Christmas Prayer)." The label released the song to Christian radio, where it quickly became popular on Record & Radio's Christian Adult Contemporary Chart.<br/><br/>


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."A second single, "Joy To The World (A Christmas Prayer)" (performed by Nick), was released on November 16, and was to be followed by a December release of a self-titled solo album, but the album had been pushed back. Nick, along with Kevin and Joe, had written several other songs for the album.<br/><br/>

In early 2005, Columbia Records' new president Steve Greenberg, listened to Nick's unreleased 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 had decided to sign the three as a group act. Nick's solo album was then canceled.However, on May 17, 2005, one song from the original album, "Crazy Kind of Crush on You," was released on the Darcy's Wild Life soundtrack.<br/><br/>
