Who is JB?

Nick(15),Kevin(20),Joe(18) are the three members of the Jonas Brothers. The former Wycokff, New Jersey natives are taking the world by storm, but who are these three talented singers, musicians, and soon to be actors. It all started with Nick, the youngest member. The band,actually started as a solo project for him. He was discovered in a local barber shop and was referred to a talent manager. At the age of seven Nick started to perform shows on Broadway like, Beauty and Beast, The Sound of Music and more. In 2002 he performed a song his father and him had written at the Broadway's Greatest Gifts: Carols for a Cure, Vol. 4. About a year later, INO records released the demo copy of the song "Joy to the World( A Christmas Prayer). The song was very popular on the radio, especially on Record & Radio's Christian Adult Contemporary Chart. In September of 2004, Columbia records heard Nicks demo song and signed a joint contract with INO records. By December little Nick released his self-titled album, featuring songs "Dear God" and "Joy the World". When Steve Greenberg, the new president of Columbia record labels, heard Nicks album and loved his voice but not the album so much. He said it was missing something. After hearing the song "Please be Mine" performed by all three of the Jonas Brothers, he found what it was missing. Columbia records decided to sign all three brothers, turning this solo project into a group project. Throughout 2005, the Jonas Brothers went on several tours, including Kelly Clarkson, Jesse McCartney, The Backstreet boys and the Click Five. They spent the later portion of the year on an anti-drug tour with Aly & Aly and The Cheetah Girls. While on tour they worked on their first album "Its About Time". The Album was released on August 8, 2006 after having been pushed back several times. The Album included the hit song "Mandy", which was released earlier that year. The songs "Year 3000" and "What I Go to School For", originally from the UK band Busted, were also featured on their album. The songs became very popular, "Mandy" reached number 4 on Mtv's hit show TRL, and "Year 3000" was all over radio stations. The Jonas Brothers also worked on project for shows, recording songs for them. In Early 2007, they were dropped from their record label. having being without a label for a while, the band signed with Hollywood Record's in February of 2007. They started to record songs for Disney productions like "Meet the Robinsons". The music video for the song "Year 3000" premiered on Disney, sky rocketing the band to the big time. In June 2007 the band started their first every personal tour. Just before releasing the highly anticipated self titled album, two singles were released "Hold On" and "S.O.S". Both music videos premiered on Disney Channel. On August 24,2007 the album was released. It debuted on at number 5 on the billboard charts, just in its first week. The song "S.O.S" was number one on itunes for several weeks. On August 17, they guest starred in an episode of the Disney Channel Show Hannah Montana titled Me and Mr. Jonas and Mr. Jonas and Mr. Jonas. They also performed "We Got the Party" with Miley Cyrus in the episode, which appeared after the DCOM High School Musical 2 and was view by 10.7 million people that night, making it the most viewed television episode of that month. The Jonas Brothers performed two songs at the Miss Teen USA contest, and the next day, the closing ceremonies of the Disney Channel Games was aired, featuring a performance from them. They also co-presented an award with Miley Cyrus at the Teen choice Awards. Currently the brothers are tour with Miley Cyrus in The Best of Both Worlds tour. Due to their major success with Disney and Hollywood Records,Disney has signed the brothers to a concert special,a movie (Camp Rock, premieres January 2008), and even to a t.v series entitled J.O.N.A.S(premieres in 2008). With so many more projects to come including, TV appearances, concerts, and a third album, the Jonas Brothers are busier than ever.These talented brothers are captivating the hearts of many, and in my opinion they are the band of the year.
