DNCE Biography

DNCE is an American dance-rock band formed in Los Angeles, consisting of lead singer Joe Jonas, drummer Jack Lawless, guitarist JinJoo Lee, and bassist/keyboardist Cole Whittle. Joe Jonas first gained recognition as a member of the Jonas Brothers, while both JinJoo Lee and Jack Lawless contributed to the Jonas Brothers' live performances. The concept for DNCE began when Jonas and Lawless were roommates in Los Angeles, and the group officially formed with the addition of songwriter Justin Tranter, who introduced Jonas to Cole Whittle, formerly of Semi Precious Weapons. The band's name is a play on the word "dance."

Blending dance-rock, dance-pop, pop-rock, and funk-pop, DNCE signed with Republic Records and achieved international recognition with the debut single "Cake by the Ocean," which reached number nine on the Billboard Hot 100. Their debut extended play, "Swaay," peaked at number 39 on the Billboard 200 and earned platinum certification. DNCE supported the release with a 14-date tour. The band also made a cameo during Fox's television special "Grease: Live," and was featured on Hailee Steinfeld's single "Rock Bottom."

DNCE released "Body Moves" as the lead single for their self-titled debut album, "DNCE," which peaked at number 17 on the Billboard 200. The album received positive reviews from music critics. The band earned several awards and nominations, including Best New Artist at the MTV Video Music Awards and Best Push Act at the MTV Europe Music Awards. DNCE expanded their live presence by touring as an opening act for Selena Gomez on her Revival Tour and for Bruno Mars on his 24K Magic World Tour.

The group collaborated with Nicki Minaj on "Kissing Strangers," the lead single from the "People to People" EP. After "People to People" and the non-album single "Dance," the band went on hiatus. During this period, Jonas rejoined the Jonas Brothers and Lee performed with artists such as Charli XCX. DNCE returned without Whittle, collaborating with Kygo on the track "Dancing Feet," which reached the Top Ten of the Billboard Hot Dance/Electronic Songs chart and charted internationally. The band also released the album "Music for People Who Believe in DNCE" via Republic Records. With a catalog of dance-pop and funk-pop anthems, DNCE is recognized for its energetic live performances and genre-blending approach within the pop music industry.
