The Jonas Brothers are an American Christian rock/pop rock band from Wyckoff, New Jersey.
The Jonas Brothers began their careers in 2005 when they were signed to Columbia Records after a group audition. The group is composed of three brothers, Joseph, Kevin, and Nicholas Jonas, originally using the name "Sons of Jonas". They released their first album, It's About Time, on August 8, 2006.
The Jonas Brothers have been featured on MTV's Total Request Live, with their music video for "Mandy" reaching the number four. The group has also had its music featured in the Nickelodeon television film Zoey 101: Spring Break-Up. They performed "(Yo Ho) A Pirate's Life for Me" for Disneymania 4, and were featured on Cartoon Network's Cartoon Cartoon Fridays program. Their father was in charge of getting the band's record deals. He also aids them financially. They have also reached the top of Radio Disney's chart with their song "Year 3000", followed by "Mandy" and "Poor Unfortunate Souls".
For the newest season of the Disney Channel Original Series American Dragon Jake Long, the Jonas Brothers recorded their own version of the show's theme song, which was previously sung by Mavin.
On Thursday, January 18, 2007, a bulletin from the band's official MySpace site announced that the band was no longer with Columbia Records. However, they are now signed to Hollywood Records, for whom they are recording a new album due out in Summer of 2007.
