Heavily influenced by soul and R&B, the Nick Jonas of now has come a long way from his teen pop rock.
Formed in 2005, The Jonas Brothers consists of New Jersey siblings Kevin, Joe and Nick.

Nick has also returned to his first love: the stage. Starring in productions of “Les Miserables” as a kid, Jonas has returned to Broadway in “How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying.”
“Nick Jonas & The Administration” flew pretty high, moving about 150,000 copies of their standalone album, per Nielsen SoundScan.
