As Us Weekly reported, Jonas was discovered in 1999 at the age of 7, while singing at a barbershop in New Jersey, where he and his brothers hail from. Joe and Kevin Jonas helped him pen some songs, and the youngest Jonas's first record received a limited release in 2004. The following year, Columbia signed all three brothers as a group, which led to debut album Jonas Brothers, released in 2007, which hit #5 on the Billboard Hot 200 during its first week of sales alone. Rolling Stone further clarified Jonas was getting a haircut when he was discovered, and was subsequently referred to a talent manager, who set things in motion for the youngster.
In a 2019 interview with The Guardian, readers learned Jonas was also a regular performer on Broadway at the age of 7, with the musician and actor admitting as a kid he was "incredibly driven and focused and not very fun to be around."
Although Chopra has been in the business since she was young too, the Indian actress wasn't terribly familiar with the Jonas Brothers. As a result, "We actually sat down and educated each other, playing videos we were both embarrassed and proud of. It was a helpful way to get to know each other." The little boy singing in the barbershop has come a long way, and happily, he's incredibly proud of his unique trajectory.
