Nick Jonas wants to be US president.

The Jonas Brothers star has always been determined to succeed, which he says gave him the nickname 'Mr. Prez', and hopes to be able to live up to the moniker one day.

He said: "It was a joke at first. Then, I thought, 'Man, it actually would be cool to run for president one day.'

"I've always been quite driven. I take after my father. He's a driven person. He's also a leader. He does a great job as a mentor to all of us."

While the 17-year-old singer's political ambitions may be some way off, he has set himself a more achievable goal - winning a Grammy award.

Nick - who has just released his debut solo LP 'Who I Am' - told Parade magazine: "I hope my peers in music and my friends are liking my solo album. I hope they can see my growth in music. It's a dream of mine to win a Grammy one day.

"I'm not saying I'm Grammy-worthy, but it would be a dream come true."
