And this time, they brought something I never imagined they would…For the first time ever, the Jonas Brothers sat down with us and went through the original demos of their biggest and most iconic songs and even some never-before heard songs that have never left the vault until now.But this episode isn’t just about the music, it’s about their journey. The early days before Disney, the pressure of breaking through, the moments they thought it might be over, and how they built a sound that defined a generation.This conversation is for YOU if:- You grew up with the Jonas Brothers and want to see the songs in their rawest form- You’re a songwriter, producer, or artist looking for insight into hit-making- You’ve ever wondered how Disney and Camp Rock really happened behind the scenes- You want to understand their career through the lens of the music, not the tabloidsHearing the Jonas Brothers play the raw, unpolished first versions of these songs hit me in a way I didn’t expect. It made me realize just how much intention, work, and risk went into every single track. This conversation changed the way I hear their catalog, and I think it’ll do the same for you.Nick, Joe, Kevin - thank you for trusting me with this.
