10 Musicians who became bigger after going solo (With Pictures)

2. Nick Jonas

You probably know Nick Jonas as the youngest member of The Jonas Brothers, a boy band that got their start on the Disney Channel. They released four albums together and were nominated for a Grammy for Best New Artist. They decided to go on hiatus in 2010, but it wasn’t until 2014 when Nick released his second studio album as a solo artist that people started to take notice. The singles “Chains” and “Jealous” were both big hits thanks to what Jonas called a “Lionel Richie vibe”.

In addition to his solo music career, Nick has also done some acting work, including a lead role on the DirectTV series Kingdom, and a recurring role on FOX’s Scream Queens. Although the Jonas Brothers have considered a reunion, it seems like youngest brother Nick has too much going on to go back to the boy band thing.
