Born on August 15, 1989, in Casa Grande, Arizona, this 35-year-old singer-songwriter has evolved from teenage Disney Channel star to mature solo artist while maintaining his connection to millions of fans worldwide.
Growing up in a musical household alongside his brothers Kevin Jonas and Nick Jonas, Joe’s journey into entertainment began when Nick’s solo career opened doors for all three brothers. What started as supporting Nick’s musical aspirations quickly transformed into a family phenomenon when they formed the Jonas Brothers in 2005.
