Overview
- Nick Jonas told People that their father, Kevin Jonas Sr., effectively lost his pastoral job when the band moved beyond exclusively Christian songs.
- The brothers said their parents invested savings in the group, leaving the family financially vulnerable after the 2006 debut album underperformed and the label dropped them.
- Following the setback, the family moved from Wyckoff, New Jersey to Los Angeles, where the band signed with Hollywood Records and recorded their 2007 self-titled breakthrough.
- Hits like “S.O.S.” and “When You Look Me in the Eyes” launched years of platinum releases and sold-out tours, which the brothers say were driven by songs written during desperate early moments.
- They remain active in 2025 with their seventh album, Greetings From Your Hometown, released in August and a continuing national tour, as they reflect on lessons from that period.
