Get to know the "Jealous" singer and L'OFFICIEL's May 2021 digital cover star who turns 29 today.

<a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/men/nick-jonas-spaceman-new-album-priyanka-chopra-interview" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Nick Jonas</a>, L'OFFICIEL's May 2021 digital cover star, is no stranger to the magic of the music industry. Accompanied by his brothers Joe and Kevin, the three make up the beloved pop band, the Jonas Brothers. Together, the Grammy-nominated band has released five studio albums and sold over 17 million albums worldwide. Though the band has taken several hiatuses to focus on the development of their solo careers, they have never failed to reunite for the release of hit tracks such as their seemingly timeless song, &ldquo;Burnin&rsquo; Up&rdquo;, and their 2019 hit song, &ldquo;Sucker.&rdquo;
<a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/pop-culture/nick-jonas-style-evolution" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Jonas</a> is undoubtedly most recognized for his role as a Jonas Brother, but he has come a long way from his days on Disney Channel&rsquo;s Camp Rock and the show he starred in alongside his brothers, Jonas. With hit songs such as &ldquo;Chains&rdquo; and &ldquo;Jealous&rdquo;, and the release of his fourth solo studio album, Spaceman earlier this year, the singer and songwriter has unashamedly paved his own path in the music industry. In celebration of his 28th birthday, L&rsquo;OFFICIEL rounded up 10 of the most interesting facts you need to know about Nick.

He was discovered at a barbershop.

Jonas was first discovered at a barbershop when he was just six years old. Solo-singing during his mother's haircut in 1999, Jonas soon made his musical debut on <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/film-tv/stars-started-on-broadway-ariana-grande-nick-jonas-meryl-streep" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Broadway</a> in pieces such as Les Mis&eacute;rables and Beauty and The Beast.

.He was in a Chuck E. Cheese Commercial&nbsp;

Nick Jonas - Chuck e Cheese's commercial

As a little boy, Jonas appeared in a most "cheesy" Chuck E. Cheese commercial.

Though the pair of musical superstars dated for only a year between 2006 and 2007, they made a swoon-worthy couple. Rumor has it that <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion/miley-cyrus-style-evolution-plastic-hearts" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Cyrus</a>&nbsp;served as inspiration for a number of love-filled Jonas Brother songs.&nbsp;

The singer is a man of many <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/men/nick-jonas-special-talents-video" target="_blank" rel="noopener">talents</a>. Though most famous for his singing and songwriting, Jonas is also an on-screen artist. Beginning his career as a boy in theatre, he is familiar with the similarities between the skills of singing and <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/pop-culture/nick-jonas-first-look-jersey-boys-movie-musical" target="_blank" rel="noopener">acting</a>. Holding roles in the television drama series' Kingdom and Scream Queens, as well as making appearances in Last Man Standing and the films Midway, Jumanji, and Chaos Walking to be released later this year, Jonas proves he is talented both on and off stage.&nbsp;

It is easy to assume that those in the spotlight have perfect, unflawed lives, but this is not the case. Rushed to the hospital at 13 years of age, just as his music career was taking off, Jonas was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes. Since going public with his condition at the 2007 Carnival for a Cure hosted by the Diabetes Research Institute Foundation, Jonas has acted as a role model for those all over the world living with diabetes and has his own diabetes foundation, the Change for the Children Foundation.&nbsp;

With the goal of giving artists creative freedom and the space for authenticity, Jonas, in collaboration with manager Phil McIntyre and fellow singer-songwriter Demi Lovato created Safehouse Records in 2015.

An Instagram DM started it all. Following a string of flirty Instagram DMs in 2016, an official meet-cute in May of 2018, a few marvelous red carpet appearances, and multiple movie-worthy dates, Jonas shut down a whole Tiffany &amp; Co. store the day after <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/pop-culture/nick-jonas-snacks-on-wife-priyanka-chopra-cheeky-instagram-post" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Chopra's</a> 36th birthday and asked her to marry him. <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/pop-culture/nick-jonas-priyanka-chopra-relationship-timeline-wedding" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The couple</a> sealed the deal over the course of a three-day Christian and Hindu wedding celebration in 2018.&nbsp;

He was a judge on NBC's The Voice.

Jonas joined the famous music competition show as a musical judge on Seasons 18 and 20 alongside other musical judges such as Blake Shelton and Kelly Clarkson. Though Jonas made his own musical mark on the show, <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/music/ariana-grande-will-replace-nick-jonas-on-the-voice-season-21" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Ariana Grande</a> replaced him on the show's latest season.&nbsp;

Though we are all familiar with Kevin, Joe, and Nick as the Jonas Brothers, there is, in fact, one more brother. Frankie Jonas, the 20-year old younger brother of the three, has made a name for himself on TikTok.

He has a matching tattoo with his brother Joe.

Prior to the 2016 Video Music Awards, Nick and Joe decided to get matching tattoos: an arrow pointing to each other on the back of their arms.&nbsp;
