RadarOnline.com wishes a happy 17th birthday to Nick Jonas, the youngest of the three Jonas brothers (and former flame of Miley Cyrus).
Fun fact about the birthday boy: Nick's career in music started as a solo act but record producers were so impressed with brothers Kevin and Joe (who were backup singing for him) that they made them into a musical trio. Since then, the Jonas brothers have sold more than eight million albums, so we'd say they made the right move. How was he discovered? In a barber shop when he was 6!
The young crooner also has a serious side. Having been diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes since at 13, he has been a vocal advocate for the cause. His Change for the Children Foundation works with five other groups to raise money and awareness.
