Nicholas Jerry Jonas (born September 16, 1992) is an American singer, songwriter and actor. Jonas began acting in theater at the age of seven, and released his debut single in 2002 which caught the attention of Columbia Records where Jonas formed a band with his older brothers, Joe and Kevin, known as the Jonas Brothers. The group released their debut studio album It's About Time through the Columbia label in 2006.
After leaving Columbia Records and signing with Hollywood Records, the group released their self-titled second studio album in 2007, which became their breakthrough record.
The band became prominent figures on the Disney Channel during this time, gaining a large following through the network and they appeared in the widely successful musical television film Camp Rock (2008) and its sequel Camp Rock 2: The Final Jam (2010) as well as two of their own series, Jonas Brothers: Living the Dream (2008–2010) and Jonas (2009–2010).

Coaches Kelly Clarkson and Nick Jonas still had steals to use at the top of the night, but Blake Shelton and John Legend were out of steals for the round.
James Taylor continued to serve as celebrity mentor. The night started out strong with Knockout performances from two of Team Legend’s four-chair turns: Thunderstorm Artis and Mandi Castillo.
It seemed immediately clear that this would result in an early steal. Artis sang Legend’s own “Preach,” while Castillo sang “Stand by Me,” and both delivered original, layered performances that reiterated how strong of a coach Legend is.
