Nick Jonas Slated as New Coach for ‘The Voice’

The youngest member of the Jonas Brothers is headed to The Voice. Nick Jonas will be joining the upcoming spring cycle of the NBC singing competition series, filling the void left by Adam Levine’s May exit.

“As a member of one of the hottest pop groups, Nick’s success in navigating all aspects of the music industry is exceptional,” said Meredith Ahr, president of alternative and reality group at NBC Entertainment. “We were so impressed by his innate musicality, technical aptitude and passion that he brought to Songland earlier this year and know he will be an incredible fit as a coach on The Voice. We are excited to see Nick lend his mentorship, relatability and breadth of knowledge to a new crop of artists.”

Jonas will appear alongside current coaches Kelly Clarkson, John Legend and Blake Shelton. Nick announced the news on The Ellen DeGeneres Show while promoting the Jonas Brothers’ album and new single, “Only Human.”

Added Jonas, “I’m so excited to be a part of The Voice family. It’s such an awesome group of individuals, and I can’t wait to help these artists really build and hone in to find their unique voices.”

The JoBros’ new single, “Sucker,” debuted at No. 1 on Billboard’s Hot 100. They also notched the No. 1 spot on the Billboard 200 with their now platinum-certified album, “Happiness Begins.”
