How did Adam Levine make his money & wealth?
Born on March 18, 1979, Adam Noah Levine grew up in his birthplace of Los Angeles, California, in a family that loved music. He had an early exposure to Michael Jackson, The Beatles, and Simon & Garfunkel, all of which played an important role in molding his style in music. At the age of 10 Levine got his first guitar and his first tape which was Eddy Grant’s “Electric Avenue”. In the early 90s Levine attended Brentwood School where his love for music intensified.
Levine flew to New York with Carmichael to study at Five Towns College, and it was here at The Big Apple where the duo got exposed to an entirely different flavors in music namely gospel, hip-hop, and R&B. The two dropped out and returned home to reunite with Dusick and Madden, experimented with their newfound musical styles, and added a new bandmate James Valentine. Kara’s Flowers was renamed into Maroon 5 and their debut album Songs About Jane hit the shelves in 2002 with highly-successful singles “She Will Be Loved”, “This Love”, and “Harder to Breathe”. Two years later their second album was released titled It Won’t Be Soon Before Long to positive acclaim. Three more successful albums followed suit namely Hands All Over (2010), Overexposed (2012), and V (2014).
