Nick Jonas loves hitting the studio (which he actually calls the "beat lab," one of our favorite facts about him) and working on new music, whether it be for his own solo work, an album with his brothers or something else entirely as a producer or collaborator with other artists. These days, Nick admits, he's flexing his music muscle and working on all different types of science in the beat lab.
"I've been in the studio a lot lately," the 18-year-old star told MTV News in a recent chat. "Basically writing and producing for other people. It's not for me or my brothers right now. Joe is doing a solo record and that's taking up a lot of his time and opened up my ear a lot. It's a big passion of mine [to write and produce]. You come in every day and you don't have a certain thing you're writing for."
So while it seems that Joe is going for more of an electronic sound these days, what kinds of music is Nick experimenting with in the beat lab? "Creating music is probably my favorite part of this whole thing, along with the touring," he told us. "When I come in, I go with whatever feels right, a lot of R&B and pop leaning stuff [but older sounds and] infusing those sounds into pop music because there's no box. I can experiment. I'm really excited about the music."
