Joe Jonas is an American singer-songwriter and actor born on August 15, 1989. He gained fame as a member of the Jonas Brothers a pop-rock band he formed with his brothers Kevin and Nick Jonas. Their first studio album “It’s About Time” released in 2006 under Columbia Records didn’t make a big splash. However, their fortunes changed after they signed with Hollywood Records and released their second album “Jonas Brothers” in 2007 marking their breakthrough.
The Jonas Brothers’ popularity soared with their appearances on Disney Channel particularly in the hit musical movie “Camp Rock” (2008) and its sequel “Camp Rock 2: The Final Jam” (2010). They also starred in their TV shows “Jonas Brothers: Living the Dream” (2008–2010) and “Jonas” (2009–2010) further cementing their fame.
Their third album “A Little Bit Longer” (2008) solidified their success with the hit single “Burnin’ Up” which reached the top five on the Billboard Hot 100. Though their fourth album was still popular it didn’t achieve the same level of sales. Following a hiatus Joe Jonas ventured into a solo career with his album “Fastlife” in 2011 which had modest success.
After the Jonas Brothers officially split due to creative differences, Joe Jonas founded the funk-pop band DNCE in 2015 taking on the role of lead vocalist. DNCE achieved notable success with their debut single “Cake by the Ocean” which reached number 9 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart in the U.S.

Joe has an older brother named Kevin Jonas and two younger brothers Nick and Frankie Jonas.
He went to Eastern Christian High School in North Haledon New Jersey. In 2002 Joe got a part in Baz Luhrmann’s Broadway show La bohème.
Career
Back in 2005 three brothers named Joe, Kevin and Nick got together and recorded their very first song called “Please Be Mine.” When the big boss at Columbia Records Steve Greenberg heard it he thought they were something special and signed them up as a group. Before landing on the name Jonas Brothers they toyed with the idea of calling themselves “Sons of Jonas.”
They hit the road touring with different artists like Jump5, Kelly Clarkson, and others while they worked on their first album. Their debut single “Mandy” came out in December 2005 but their first album got delayed a bunch of times because of changes in the company. While they waited they did some gigs for Disney and toured with Aly & AJ.
Their first album “It’s About Time” finally came out on August 8, 2006. But Columbia Records didn’t do much to promote it so it didn’t take off. Despite that, their song “Year 3000” got some love on the Disney Channel. Frustrated with how things were going the brothers wanted to find a new record label and in 2007 it was official: Columbia Records dropped them. Their album sold around 67000 copies in the U.S.
But then not long after they got dropped they signed up with Hollywood Records. They kept busy doing soundtracks and other promo stuff. Their self-titled second album dropped on August 7, 2007, and it did way better selling over two million copies in the U.S. They even got into acting appearing on shows like Hannah Montana. Their single “S.O.S” was a big hit and they released more singles like “Hold On” and “When You Look Me in the Eyes.”
From 2008 to 2010 they were all about the acting scene. They had their documentary series starred in “Camp Rock” with Disney and even had their 3D concert movie. They also had their TV show “Jonas” which later became “Jonas L.A.” They kept making music too releasing albums like “A Little Bit Longer” and “Lines Vines and Trying Times.” They went on tours and even showed up as guest judges on “American Idol.”
Around 2011 Joe Jonas started thinking about going solo. He released some singles and went on tour with Jay Sean. His solo album “Fastlife” came out in 2011 but it didn’t do so hot. It sold around 18000 copies in the first week and then pretty much dropped off the charts. After that, both Joe and the Jonas Brothers split with Hollywood Records in 2012.
But in 2013 there was a glimmer of hope. The Jonas Brothers reunited to work on a new album and go on tour. They even had a reality show called “Married to Jonas” featuring Kevin and his wife. But things hit a snag when they canceled their tour and soon after they officially called it quits.
After the split, Joe Jonas teamed up with some friends to start a new band called DNCE. They released a few hits like “Cake by the Ocean” and did pretty well. Joe also got into TV joining “The Voice” as a coach. In 2018, he dropped a track with DJ Jonas Blue for the movie “Hotel Transylvania 3: Summer Vacation.”
Then in 2019, the Jonas Brothers shocked everyone by getting back together. They released a new single called “Sucker” and announced a reunion tour. Joe also made appearances at events like WE Day California.
Recently Joe Jonas has been branching out into acting again. He joined the cast of a Korean War movie called “Devotion” and co-wrote a song for the movie’s credits. Plus DNCE made a comeback in 2022 with a new song called “Dancing Feet.” And let’s not forget the Jonas Brothers dropped their sixth album “The Album” in May 2023.
