As a band, they trace their origins to impromptu concerts in the family basement. Encouraged by their always-supportive parents, they started getting commercial gigs, with Nick landing roles in Broadway musicals like “Les Miserables” and “Beauty and the Beast.” In 2005, the trio finally signed their first label deal, but it wasn’t until the following year when they signed with Hollywood Records that the hard work began to pay off.
With the August 2007 release of their Hollywood debut, nothing more stood in their way. Their premiere single, “S.O.S.,” quickly hit #1 on iTunes, while the CD shot to #5. In some cities on their “Look Me In The Eyes” headline tour, concerts sold out in minutes. The brothers star in the Disney Channel original movie, “Camp Rock,” as well as their own Disney Channel comedy series, titled “JONAS L.A.” which recently earned an Emmy nomination. They also reprised their “Camp Rock” characters in the highly-anticipated sequel “Camp Rock 2: The Final Jam” which debuts on Disney Channel in September 2010.
The release of “A Little Bit Longer” in 2008 changed the game. It hit the very top of the charts, while the “Burning Up” tour was among the year’s highest grossing. Their universally-lauded “Jonas Brothers; 3-D Concert Experience” proved a box office hit. Jonas Brothers received their first Grammy nomination earlier this year for Best New Artist, and have won multiple awards from around the world, including an American Music Award, as well as multiple Kids’ Choice and Teen Choice awards. Worldwide, Jonas Brothers have sold a combined 8.1 million albums, and have garnered a total of 36 gold and platinum album certifications. Following the release of the new album, Jonas Brothers embarked on the U.S. segment of their “Jonas Brothers World Tour 2009” with featured guests Jordin Sparks and Honor Society.
They will set out on the road for another World Tour with Demi Lovato and their friends from “Camp Rock 2: The Final Jam” which starts August 7, in Chicago, IL.
