Nick is known for being the "serious" one in the band. But, alot of people don't know this about him, but he does have
a goofy side, though he claims that it's "rare"
The band started as a solo project of Nick Jonas.[5][6][7] At the age of 7, Nicholas began performing on Broadway.[8][9] He has acted in several plays, including A Christmas Carol (in 2000 as Tiny Tim and as Scrooge at eight), Annie Get Your Gun (in 2001 as Little Jake), Beauty and the Beast (in 2002 as Chip), and Les Misérables (in 2003 as Gavroche).[9][10][11][12] After Les Misérables closed, he performed in The Sound of Music (as Kurt) at the Paper Mill Playhouse.[13]
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)". With background vocals from the Beauty and the Beast cast, Nick performed the song on the 2002 annual Broadway "Equity Fights AIDS" album, Broadway's Greatest Gifts: Carols for a Cure, Vol. 4.[14][15] In November 2003, INO Records received a demo copy of "Joy to the World (A Christmas Prayer)".[16] The label released the song to Christian radio, where it quickly became popular on Record & Radio's Christian Adult Contemporary Chart.[15] While Nick was working on his solo project, Joe followed in his footsteps to Broadway, appearing in Baz Lurhmann's production of La bohème. According to Nick, this was also the first year the brothers started writing songs together.[17]
By September 2004, an executive at Columbia Records found out about Nick's song.[14][15] Nick was soon jointly signed to INO Records and Columbia Records and released the single "Dear God".[18] A second single, a new solo recording of "Joy to the World (A Christmas Prayer)", was released on November 16.[19] It was supposed to be followed by a December release of a self-titled solo album Nicholas Jonas, but the album had been pushed back;[20] it did, however, get a limited release.[21] Nick, along with his brothers, Kevin and Joe, had written several other songs for the album.[14]
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.[22] 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.[
