The pop band phenomenon nicknamed the “JoBros” consists of brothers Kevin (20), Joe (18) and Nick (15). The brothers’ band sensation made it big with help from Miley Cyrus – guest starring on her Disney Channel show Hannah Montana and opening for Cyrus’ Best of Both Worlds concert tour in 2007.

The Jonas Brothers got their start due in large part to Nick’s singing in the hairdressers while waiting for his mother to get her hair cut when he was a child. From there, the brothers took the long road to becoming pop stars.

Last year the Jonas Brothers reportedly made $12 Million – selling 1.4 Million copies of their self-titled album, Jonas Brothers.

Before each performance, the brothers hold a prayer circle with their family, friends and managers. The brothers also claim to meet around 400 fans before every show. The JoBros share a lot of their daily activities online with videos on YouTube – which helps their audience remain continuously updated and enamored by the brothers. The Jonas Brothers are currently on tour with Demi Lovato.

It is often assumed that Nick, the group’s chief songwriter, is the youngest Jonas Brother, however, there is a fourth brother, eight-year-old Frankie, who is often referred to as the “Bonas Jonas.” Sometimes Frankie is included in the performances – appearing briefly on stage in Boston wearing a Boston sports team jersey.

Nick Jonas was diagnosed with Type I Diabetes in 2005 – which most fans know. However, many are unaware that Nick has an insulin pump hidden under his clothes during each performance. Nick’s song, A Little Longer (Included on the brother’s third album due to release August 12, 2008) is about his experience with Diabetes. The audience often cries during his performance of the song in concert.

In the coming years, the Jonas Brothers will have to work to keep their fans and lead them to grow up alongside of them, rather than allowing their fans to grow away from their music.
