About Kevin Jonas

Paul Kevin Jonas II (born November 5, 1987), also known as Kevin Jonas or K2, is a member of the Jonas Brothers, a band he created with his brothers Joe and Nick. The Jonas Brothers originally started with a solo singing career for Nick , but when Joe and Kevin sang backup for him, the record producer liked their sound and signed all three of them. He is currently on the "Burning Up Tour" with the band and opening act, and best friend, Demi Lovato. (Co-star in Camp Rock )

Kevin was born in Teaneck, New Jersey to Denise and Paul Kevin Jonas Sr. He was raised in Wyckoff, New Jersey and is of Irish, Italian, and German. The Jonas's are known for their wholesome, family-friendly image. The brothers are all committed Evangelical Christians, their father is a former pastor, and they were homeschooled by their mother. In addition, they all famously wear purity rings on their left-hand ring finger and have vowed not to have premarital sex. Joe has said that the rings symbolize "a promise to ourselves and to God that we'll stay pure 'till marriage," and Nick had stated that "it's [purity rings] pretty awesome, and the rings are just one of our ways of kind of like being different than everybody else out there." They started wearing the rings when their parents, Denise and Kevin Sr., asked them if they wanted to. They also abstain from alcohol, tobacco, and drugs.

In early 2005, Columbia Records' new president, Steve Greenberg, listened to Nick's record. While Greenberg did not like the album, he did like Nick's voice.
