Tomáš Klus (born May 15, 1986) is a Czech musician and songwriter from the Moravian-Silesian Region of the Czech Republic.^[1]

Klus was born in the industrial town of Třinec, where he spent most of his childhood. Both his parents were folk music fans, taking Tomáš with them to many different concerts and music festivals. Growing up he was heavily influenced by musicians Karel Plíhal, Karel Kryl and Jaromír Nohavica who were a big inspiration to the young Tomáš, especially Nohavica, who remains one of his favourite musicians, and whose style his own closely resembles.

Klus won a gold medal with his team in 2002 in modern pentathlon on a European championship^[2], but became more interested in performance art and music after moving to Prague, where he initially moved aged 15 to pursue a sporting career.

In 2007 he was the winner of the Czech Talent Zlín competition.

In 2008 he released his debut album, Cesta do záhu(d)by. The single "Do Nebe," featured in the album, was played on Czech Radio previous to the album release. He also produced music for Czech film Anglické jahody ("English Strawberries").

He is currently a student of drama at Prague's drama/theatre university DAMU (Divadelni fakulta AMU).

In 2011 he released a song called "Pánu bohu do oken" (To the God's window) in which he sings about Czech politics, about politicians who make fun of and mock common people. He asks the God what his people deserved this treatment for. It was performed live in Český Slavík 2011, a mainstream Czech music awards ceremony, which only demonstrated its growing popularity among broad audiences of all generations.

On September 26th, 2011, his latest album Racek was released. It debuted at number one in Czech Album Sales Chart and it was certified Gold in its first week on sale. ^[3]. Racek has spent 23 non-consecutive weeks at number one^[4]. It was the best selling album of 2011^[5] in the Czech Republic and later it was certified as double platinum album.^[6]

Nicholas Jerry "Nick" Jonas (born September 16, 1992) is an American singer-songwriter, musician and actor best known as one of the Jonas Brothers, a pop-rock band he formed with his brothers Joe and Kevin.

He previously starred in the Disney Channel original series JONAS L.A. as Nick Lucas, alongside his brothers. He also starred in the Disney Channel original movie Camp Rock and Camp Rock 2: The Final Jam. He formed the band Nick Jonas & The Administration, which released its first album in 2010.

Career[link]

Career beginnings: 2000-2005[link]

Jonas's career started when he was discovered at the age of six in a barber shop, while his mother was getting her hair cut and was referred to a professional show business manager.^[1][2] At the age of 7, he began performing on Broadway.^[3][4] He had acted in several plays, including A Christmas Carol (in 2000 as Tiny Tim and Scrooge at eight), Annie Get Your Gun (in 2001 as Little Jake), Beauty and the Beast (in 2002 as Chip), and Les Misérables (in 2003 as Gavroche).^[4][5][6][7] After Les Misérables closed, he performed in The Sound of Music (as Kurt) at the Paper Mill Playhouse.^[8]

In 2002, while performing in Beauty and the Beast, Jonas wrote a song with his father called "Joy to the World (A Christmas Prayer)." With background vocals from the Beauty and the Beast cast, Nick recorded the song on the 2002 annual Broadway "Equity Fights AIDS" album, Broadway's Greatest Gifts: Carols for a Cure, Vol. 4.^[9][10] In November 2003, INO Records received a demo copy of "Joy To The World (A Christmas Prayer)".^[11] The label released the song to Christian radio, where it quickly became popular on Record & Radio's Christian Adult Contemporary Chart.^[10]

By September 2004, an executive at Columbia Records discovered Jonas' song.^[9][10] He was soon jointly signed to INO Records and Columbia Records and released the single "Dear God".^[12][13] A second single, "Joy to the World (A Christmas Prayer)" (a re-recorded version), was released on November 16.^[14] It was supposed to be followed by a December release of a self-titled solo album Nicholas Jonas, but the album was pushed back.^[15] It did, however, get a limited release.^[16] Nick, along with his brothers, Kevin and Joe, co-wrote songs for the album.^[9] In early 2005, Columbia Records' new president, Steve Greenberg, heard Jonas' record. While Greenberg did not like the album, he did like Nick's voice.^[17]

Jonas Brothers: 2005-2010[link]

After meeting with Jonas and hearing the song, "Please Be Mine", written and performed by the brothers, Daylight/Columbia Records decided to sign the three as a group act.^[9][18][19] After being signed to Columbia, the brothers considered naming their group "Sons of Jonas" before settling on the name "Jonas Brothers."^[20] It's About Time, the brothers' first album was released on August 8, 2006.^[21] According to the band's manager, it was only a "limited release" of a little over 50,000 copies. Because Sony was not interested in further promoting the band, the Jonas Brothers considered switching labels. The band was ultimately dropped by Columbia Records in early 2007.

After shortly being without a label, the Jonas Brothers signed with Hollywood Records in February 2007.^[22][23] Around the same time, brothers began appearing in commercials for Baby Bottle Pops, singing the jingle.^[23] Their self-titled second album, Jonas Brothers, was released on August 7, 2007.^[24] It reached number five on the Billboard 200 chart in its first week. It has since sold over three million copies worldwide. On August 17, 2007, Jonas, along with his brothers, guest starred in an episode of Hannah Montana, which aired after the premiere of High School Musical 2 and the Disney Channel show Phineas and Ferb.^[25] The episode broke basic cable records with a record 10.7 million viewers and became basic cable's most watched series telecast ever.^[26]
