INTERVIEW TO ADAM LEVINE VOCALIST OF MAROON 5

ADAM LEVINE

Adam Noah Levine (born March 18, 1979) is an American musician; he is the lead singer and guitarist for the pop group Maroon 5.
Born in
Los Angeles, California to Patsy Noah and Fred Levine, he has one brother, Michael, a stepsister, Julia, and two half siblings, Sam and Liza. His stepmother and father own two fashion stores geared toward men; because of this, Levine claims he's always been ahead of the fashion curve. In 2005, he and Ryan Seacrest of American Idol attended the inauguration of M. Fredric MAN, his parents' second store, in Studio City. Levine's background is Jewish.
Levine attended the private
Brentwood School, where he met the original members of the band Kara's Flowers: Jesse Carmichael, Mickey Madden and Ryan Dusick. On his first day at Brentwood School, Levine met the third member of Maroon 5, Mickey Madden. Levine is noted as describing Mickey as a "musical encyclopedia" and it is thought that Levine's influence played a major role in Madden acquiring his first bass guitar soon after.

Failed bands
Levine first became friends with Jesse Carmichael, who played clarinet in Regis High School Orchestra, while playing together at the French Woods Festival of the Performing Arts. Levine, Madden and Carmichael played their first show together as Edible Nuns at their Jr. High dance, playing only cover versions of nineties favorites such as Pearl Jam and Alice in Chains.
As the trio progressed through high school, the drummer left the band. He was replaced by Amy Wood, a friend of one of the current members. She would soon leave the band and again the group was one drummer short, leaving a window of opportunity open for Adam. He would reconnect with Ryan Dusick, who completed the band on drums.

Kara's Flowers
In 1997, the band released an album titled The Fourth World. The album reached little success, and its only single "Soap Disco" failed. Disappointed with the results of their album, the band went on hiatus and went their separate ways.
Levine and bandmate Carmichael left California to study at
Five Towns College, a small liberal arts school in Dix Hills, Long Island, New York. This was reportedly the first time the two Los Angeles natives were exposed to a completely different music scene, a cultural awakening for the two young men. On MTV News in 2002, Levine said, "That's when I started waking up to the whole hip hop, R&B thing. We had friends named Chaos and shit. It was not Brentwood High.".
