The Voice is bringing a fresh face to the coaches’ famous red chairs, Nick Jonas!

Singer-songwriter Nick Jonas is all set to join season 18 of the NBC singing competition ‘The Voice’. Jonas is slated to join returning coaches Blake Shelton, Kelly Clarkson and John Legend. Shelton’s girlfriend Gwen Stefani, who returned as a coach for the fall cycle, will not be returning in the spring.

“I’m so excited to be a part of ‘The Voice’ family,” Jonas said in a statement from the network. “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.”

Then turning his attention to his new co-workers — and competition — Jonas said, “While I’m excited to work with you guys, I’m coming for you! I’m hoping for a Season 1 win for Team Nick and the chance to work with some amazing talent. I can’t wait and I just want to say thank you to everyone that made it happen.”

Back in June, Jonas appeared as a musical guest, alongside his brothers, on NBC’s songwriting reality competition series “Songland.” The song they ultimately chose, Able Heart’s “Greenlight,” quickly went to the top of the iTunes charts. So Nick has some familiarity with both the network and musical reality shows on it.

Now, he’s looking to show off his eye for talent and mentoring in his new role as the latest coach on the network’s highest-rated reality show, “The Voice.”
