Paul Kevin Jonas

Born on November 5th, 1987 in Teaneck, New Jersey, Paul Kevin Jonas, II, was the first of what would be four sons by 2000 for Paul and Denise Jonas. Going by his middle name, Kevin Jonas, 20, is best known alongside his brothers, Joseph, 18, and Nick, 15, in their band, properly named, “Jonas Brothers.” Though not part of the band, Frankie, 7, is the youngest son and no, he is not adopted. Kevin is part Irish, Italian, German and Cherokee Indian. As the oldest brother in the band and oldest son in the family, Kevin is the one that all of the other brothers look up to. Kevin believes in love at first sight. He says that he is very old-fashioned when it comes to courting a girl and he follows the three-day rule, like his mom taught him (he always asks a girl out at least three days before so that she has time to clear her schedule). He has, on more than one occasion, been considered the most romantic out of himself and his brothers. Maybe it’s because, with an old girlfriend on their anniversary, he took an empty bottle and drew a map of the world with everywhere his girlfriend wanted to travel to and then he wrote her a love letter and put them both in the bottle (like a message in a bottle) and he gave it to her. Mr. Jonas got in trouble by Mrs. Jonas for not being that romantic. Or perhaps it’s because he’s flown across the country (from his family’s hometown of Wyckoff, New Jersey to Los Angeles, California) in order to surprise his crush. Who, you may be asking? Rumor has it, the lucky girl was Zoe Myers, an actress from his band’s “Year 3000″ music video. Her own band “Stained Pink” opened for “Jonas Brothers” a few times in 2006. The two were linked for a few months but, it’s been said that they have since broken up. Kevin is the lead guitarist for the band (and does the background vocals, as well). It has been known that Kevin self-taught himself how to play the guitar at age twelve while home sick from school for a week - instead of watching the “Price is Right” continuously - and hasn’t put the guitar down since. He is a proud Christian and his father is a Minister, but even with his religious views aside, Kevin wears a purity ring on his left ring finger (as do Joseph and Nick). It symbolizes a respect that he has for himself. It means that he will not have sex until he gets married. It is a very honorable thing that he has decided to do this (and has decided to publicize it, as well). Kevin has been involved in many wonderful charity efforts. He has traveled several times to Mexico and Indonesia to help build hospitals, schools and churches. He lived among, played, fed and sung to the orphans in those countries while he was there.

The guys are currently conquering television and the silver-screen with a television show (”J.O.N.A.S.!”) and a made-for-TV movie (”Camp Rock!”), both coming out in Summer/Fall 2008, plus a reality show. The Brothers also got the chance to take their act to the big screen! They appeared in the “Best of Both Worlds 3D” movie, performing three songs (We Got the Party, When You Look Me In The Eyes, and Year 3000) inbetween the Hannah Montana and Miley Cyrus acts. The movie hit number one, bringing in over $29 million in sales, which is particulary notable considering it was only played in 600 theaters. Due to the success of the film, Disney extended the one week engagement.
