Singer Nick Jonas is the newest judge on The Voice.

Nick Jonas

has joined The Voice as Adam Levine’s replacement.

The Jonas

Brothers star is thrilled to be joining the US version of the swinging-chair

talent show alongside fellow coaches Kelly Clarkson, Blake Shelton and John

Legend, and host Carson Daly, who are all returning for the 18th season.

Appearing on

The Ellen DeGeneres Show on Monday, Nick said: “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.”

Adam Levine of Maroon 5 announced his departure from The Voice in May.

The Sucker

hitmaker – who is married to Priyanka Chopra – has plenty of judging experience

under his belt, as he and his sibling bandmates – Kevin Jonas and Joe Jonas –

featured on Songland, which sees songwriting hopefuls battle it out to

have their song released by a big name in pop music.

Nick showed

an “innate musicality, technical aptitude and passion” on NBC’s other

talent show which led to him landing the job on The Voice.

Maroon 5

frontman Adam announced his departure from the show after eight years in May to

spend more time with his family. At the time, he was claimed to have had the

“toughest schedules” compared to his co-judges Blake, Kelly and John.
