Joe Jonas

Joseph Adam Jonas was born on August 15, 1989. He is one of the lead singers and he plays the tambourine, percussion, keyboard and a little guitar. He is the middle brother. He is two years younger than Kevin Jonas and three years older than Nick Jonas. He is considered the "funny" brother and he had always thought he would end up in comedy instead of music.

"I'm definitely the guy that people assume is constantly bouncing the walls. It's true that's me a lot of the time - I am definitely energetic. I love to be goofy and have a good time, but I also have a serious and more sensitive side that I don't always get to show onstage. A good friend once came on the studio while we were recording who seemed genuinely pleased by my quiet demeanor. he said he expected me to be a lot livelier than I was and kept asking if something was wrong. I found myself explaining to him that I wasn't always the crazy guy he sees. Okay, ninety percent of the time I am, but for whatever reason, that other ten percent is a calmer!

My brothers often tell me that I have the biggest heart in the world. That makes me feel really good because I genuinely care about my family, friends and loved ones. I also care about the fans who come to see us. I want to make sure they have fun, and I'm willing to do whatever it takes to make their lives enjoyable."

Passion for Filming

Joe had a video camera growing up and he loved to make his home movies. "I'd edit them on my computer like I was the next Spielberg or Coppola. They weren't very good, but the experience helped filmmaking become a passion of mine. It's one of my favorite things to do offstage. I have a big hand in my work. I definitely come from a director's perspective, working out each shot and blocking it before we start."

Joe was given the opportunity to do some of the shooting for the When You Look Me in the Eyes" Music Video.

Style

Joe's style is inspired by 1980s rock 'n' roll. He loves wearing vintage band t-shirts, sneakers and straight legged jeans. He really likes shopping for shoes and he doesn't like wearing socks so most of his shoes are loafers or sneakers. He loves to wear boat shoes as often as he can.
