大事记
关于Nicholas Jonas(Nick Jonas)以及个人专辑(1999-2005)
乐队一开始是为了给Nicholas Jonas制作一张个人专辑的.当Nick6岁的时候,他在理发店里理发的时候唱歌而被发现的并且还被推荐给一个专业的娱乐行业经理
.在Nick7岁的时候,他就开始在百老汇表演.他表演过几部剧,包括A Christmas Carol (in 2000 as Tiny Tim and 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).在Les Misérables结束后,他在Paper Mill Playhouse里表演The Sound of Music中的Kurt.
2002年时,当他在表演Beauty and the Beast时,他已经和他爸爸写了一首叫作”Joy to the world(A Christmas Prayer)”的歌曲,由Beauty and the Beast的演员作为合声,Nick在2002年百老汇的Equity Fiths AIDS的专辑(Broadway’s Greatest Gifts: Carols for a Cure, Vol. 4)中演唱了这首歌曲.
2003年,INO唱片收到了Joy to the world(a christmas prayer)的样本唱片,并且将它发表给了基督教广播,从那里,这首歌很快就成为Record & Radio’s Christian Adult Contemporar榜单上相当受欢迎的曲目.
当Nicholas在制作他的个人专辑时,Joseph(Joe Jonas)也相继步入百老汇表演,他出现在了La Boheme中.
2004年9月,哥伦比亚唱片公司的一个经济管理人员发现了Nick的歌曲,Nick便很快一同与INO和哥伦比亚唱片都签署了合同并第一首单曲 “Dear God”.第二首单曲Joy to the world(a christmas prayer)在11月16日发行了.其实,这首单曲本来是应该在Nicholas Jonas的同名专辑发行后再发行的,但这张专辑最终被退回而没有正式发行,只是发行了一批限量版本.在这张为正式发行的专辑中Nick和Kevin和 Joe还写了几首其他的歌曲.
在2005年早期,哥伦比亚唱片的新总裁Steve Greenberg,听过了Nick的唱片后,尽管他不喜欢这张专辑但却尤其喜欢Nick的声音.在会见了Nick并且听到3个兄弟写的歌曲Please Be Mine后,Daylight/Columbia 唱片决定于3兄弟签上合同,让他们作为一个表演组合.然而,05年5月17日,一首来自未发行的原唱片(Nicholas Jonas)的歌曲Crazy Kind of crush on you在Darcy’s Wild Life的原声碟中出现了.
One of the most popular teen-affiliated groups of the 2000s, the Jonas Brothers' craft hook-filled power pop anthems in the vein of McFly, Hanson, and the Modern Lovers. The young New Jersey natives (while readying their 2006 debut, brothers Joseph, Kevin, and Nicholas Jonas topped out at 16, 17, and 13, respectively) were reared in the city of Wyckoff under the tutelage of musical parents. Nicholas showed a particular flair for singing; by the age of seven, he'd already begun a modest career as a Broadway performer. The young performer also took an interest in songwriting, even co-writing a Christmas tune in 2002 alongside his father. Several years later, his soulful voice had wowed enough executives at Daylight/Columbia Records to warrant a solo album, and Nicholas began writing original material with help from his two brothers. The siblings' songs impressed the president of Columbia, who ultimately signed the trio in 2005.
The Jonas Brothers' full-length debut, It's About Time, was released in August 2006. Featuring the songwriting talents of Desmond Child and Fountains of Wayne's Adam Schlesinger, the album peaked at number 91 on the Billboard charts and earned the siblings a modest audience, particularly among fans of Radio Disney. Nevertheless, the Jonas Brothers were dropped from Columbia's roster in early 2007. They bounced back by signing with Hollywood Records, a Disney-owned label that helped the group exponentially expand its fanbase. An eponymous sophomore album, Jonas Brothers, arrived in August 2007, supported by a number of Jonas Brothers appearances on the Disney Channel's various programs. The band also toured in support of the record, selling out shows coast to coast -- including a stop at the Gibson Amphitheater in Los Angeles, which was the fastest sold-out show in the venue's history. The reality television show Jonas Brothers: Living the Dream documented the band's life on the road, and the band's TV presence was furthered along by Camp Rock, a 2008 Disney Channel television movie that featured the brothers and up-and-coming star Demi Lovato. The movie was watched by 8.9 million viewers and launched the Jonas Brothers' next single, "Burnin' Up," which helped whet demand for the release of A Little Bit Longer later that year.
