Singer Nick Jonas says he found it "scary" going solo and releasing music on his own.
The 22-year-old has had international success since releasing his first solo offerings, but says he found it more daunting than when he was in the Jonas Brothers (pop group) with siblings Kevin and Joe, reports femalefirst.co.uk.
Speaking on TV show "Access Hollywood live", Jonas said: "It's been a crazy year-and-a-half, a lot of really special experiences and things that even in my eight year journey with my brothers that I never experienced, that I'm experiencing now.
"And just seeing the people connect with the music that I made, you know, I took a chance and stepped out on my own and tried to do something different, which is always scary."
Despite his initial nerves, Jonas is glad he was able to "connect" with his fans.
"But I really feel like in kind of just being authentic and true to what was relevant to me and what I want to talk about, it connected with people," he added.
