Maroon 5
Maroon 5 is an American pop rock band that originated
in Los Angeles, California.[9][10] It currently consists of
lead vocalist Adam Levine, lead guitarist James Valen-
tine, keyboardist and rhythm guitarist Jesse Carmichael,
bassist Mickey Madden, drummer Matt Flynn, and key-
boardist PJ Morton. Before the current group was estab-
lished, the original four members, Adam Levine (lead vo-
cals, lead guitar), Jesse Carmichael (rhythm guitar, back-
ing vocals), Mickey Madden (bass guitar) and Ryan Du-
sick (drums), formed a band known as Kara’s Flowers
in 1994, while they were still in high school. The band,
which self-released an album called We Like Digging?,
then signed to Reprise Records and released the album
The Fourth World in 1997. After the album garnered a
tepid response, the band parted ways with the record label
and the members attended college.
In 2001, the band changed its image by adding guitarist
James Valentine and pursuing a new direction under the
name Maroon 5.[11] At this point, Carmichael switched
to playing keyboards, which has since become his main
instrument in the band. After these changes, Maroon 5
signed with a subsidiary of J Records, Octone Records,
and released their debut album, Songs About Jane, in June
2002. The album’s lead single, "Harder to Breathe", re-
ceived heavy airplay, which helped the album to debut at
number six on the Billboard 200 chart.[12] In 2004, the al-
bum went platinum and has been dubbed “the sleeper hit
of the millennium”. The band won the Grammy Award
for Best New Artist in 2005. For the next few years, Ma-
roon 5 toured extensively worldwide in support of Songs
About Jane and produced two live recordings: 2004’s
1.22.03.Acoustic and 2005’s Live – Friday the 13th.[13]
In 2006, Dusick officially left Maroon 5 after suffering
from serious wrist and shoulder injuries and was replaced
by Matt Flynn. The band then recorded their second al-
bum, It Won't Be Soon Before Long and released it in May
2007.[14] The album reached number one on the US Bill-
board 200 chart and the lead single, "Makes Me Won-
der", became the band’s first number-one single on the
Billboard Hot 100.
In September 2010, Maroon 5 released their third studio
album Hands All Over, which was re-released in 2011 to
include the single "Moves like Jagger" featuring Christina
Aguilera. While the original version of the album re-
ceived mixed reviews, “Moves like Jagger” reached the
number one position on the Billboard Hot 100. The band
released their fourth album, Overexposed, on June 26,
2012. All four singles of the album were highly suc-
cessful on the Billboard Hot 100, including second sin-
1
gle "One More Night", which reached number one for 9
weeks straight. Keyboardist PJ Morton became an offi-
cial member of the band in 2012, after gaining little suc-
cess with his previous albums as an R&B vocalist. The
addition of PJ Morton meant that for the first time, Ma-
roon 5 had six official members. The same year, the
bass player of Phantom Planet, Sam Farrar, became an
official touring member, playing many different instru-
ments (including guitars, percussion and additional key-
boards), singing backing vocals and also providing sam-
ples and other special effects. In 2014, the band signed
with Interscope Records and released their fifth studio al-
bum, V. Maroon 5 has sold more than 20 million albums
and 70 million singles worldwide.[15][16][17]
1 History
1.1 1994–2002: Kara’s Flowers and the
formation of Maroon 5
Adam Levine was introduced to Ryan Dusick by a mu-
tual friend and guitarist, Adam Salzman. Levine was
15 years old and Dusick was 16.[18] Three of the five
members of the band started playing together at age 12.
The four original members of the band met while at-
tending Brentwood EMH School in Los Angeles.[19][20]
While attending Brentwood EMH School, Adam Levine
and Jesse Carmichael joined up with Mickey Madden and
Ryan Dusick to form Kara’s Flowers,[21] a rock band.
The name was taken from a girl that went to their high
school that the band had a “collective crush” on.[20] In
1997, when the band was playing at a beach party in
Malibu, independent producer Tommy Allen heard them
play and offered to manage them and record a complete
record with his partner, songwriter John DeNicola, who
is known for his work on Dirty Dancing – including "(I've
Had) The Time of My Life". Producer Rob Cavallo's
management team heard the record Allen and DeNicola
produced, which eventually led Cavallo to offer them a
deal with Reprise Records.[22] However, after the release
of The Fourth World, during Levine and Madden’s se-
nior year of high school in 1997, it had morphed into a
band with a style reminiscent of 1960s Britpop.[20] De-
spite high expectations from the band and record com-
pany, the album failed to catch on and their lead single,
“Soap Disco”, was a failure.[23] According to Levine, the
failure of the album was “a huge disappointment” that
nearly led them to break up in 1998.[20][24] The album

while Levine and Carmichael relocated to the East coast
to attend Five Towns College, in Dix Hills, Long Island,
New York.[26] While Levine and Carmichael were in New
York, they began to take notice of the urban music sur-
rounding them and later let the style influence the songs
they wrote.[27]
The band returned to the music industry again in 2000.[24]

ond album, It Won't Be Soon Before Long, was released
worldwide in May 2007 by A&M Octone Records.[52]
According to Levine, the follow-up to Songs About Jane is
“sexier and stronger”,[53] gaining inspiration from iconic
80s artists such as Prince, Shabba Ranks, Michael Jack-
son and Talking Heads.[54] Ann Powers writing for Los
Angeles Times said It Won't Be Soon Long is “An icy-hot
blend of electro-funk and blue-eyed soul that works its
cruel streak with the confidence of Daniel Craig’s James
Bond”.[55] Before its release, "Makes Me Wonder" was
the No. 1 selling single and video on iTunes.[53] It was
also the No. 1 selling album, with more than 50,000 dig-
ital pre-sales.[53] After its release, the album broke iTunes
sales records its week of release, selling over 101,000
albums.[56] The first single, “Makes Me Wonder,” was re-
leased to radio March 27, 2007. The song debuted at
Levine stated that he believed the band was reach-
ing its peak and may make one more album before
disbanding.[67] He explained, “Eventually I want to focus
on being a completely different person because I don’t
know if I want to do this into my 40s and 50s and be-
yond, like the Rolling Stones”.[68]
The band’s third studio album was recorded in 2009 in
Switzerland, where the band was joined by record pro-
ducer Robert John “Mutt” Lange.[69] The album, titled
Hands All Over, was released on September 21, 2010.
On the Billboard 200, the album debuted at number
two behind Zac Brown Band's album You Get What You
Give.[70] Despite the high placement on the Billboard 200
only 142,000 copies were sold, which was relatively weak
compared to their previous album It Won't Be Soon Be-
fore Long, which debuted at number one with 429,000
copies.[71] The album received mixed reviews from music
4 1
critics, though many of them praised it for its production.
Many critics assumed that the low numbers were caused
by illegal internet downloading, also known as piracy, and
ignored it. The first single from the album, "Misery",
was released on June 22, 2010. The band toured with
Train for the summer of 2011, from July 22 to Septem-
ber 24.[72]
On June 12, 2011, the band re-released the album Hands
All Over just to include their summer hit "Moves like Jag-
ger", featuring Christina Aguilera.[73][74] The song pre-
miered live on The Voice on June 21, 2011 and reached
the number one position on the Billboard Hot 100 chart
in September 2011. Frontman Levine was also featured
in the Gym Class Heroes' song "Stereo Hearts", which
peaked at number four on the Billboard Hot 100. On
September 8, 2011, Jesse Carmichael stated the band
was likely to begin recording its next album within the
year.[75] On October 1, 2011, the band performed live at
the Rock in Rio concert in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.[76] Ma-
roon 5 was a last hour addition, chosen to fill the vacant
spot left by Jay-Z after he cancelled his appearance for
personal reasons.[77] The band launched a Snapple flavor
named "Tea Will Be Loved" in support of Feeding Amer-
ica in September 2011.[78]
Maroon 5 performed “Moves Like Jagger” and “Stereo
Hearts” with Travie McCoy on November 5, 2011 on
Saturday Night Live. The band also performed “Moves
Like Jagger” and “Stereo Hearts” with Christina Aguil-
era and Gym Class Heroes on November 20, 2011 on the
American Music Awards, where it won its first AMA for
Favorite Pop Band/Duo/Group. The band also performed
“Moves Like Jagger” at the 2011 Victoria’s Secret Fash-
ion Show.[79] During a promotion by Coca-Cola in the
March 2011, the band participated in a special studio ses-
sion during which, with the help of musician PJ Morton,
they only had 24 hours to write a completely original song.
After their time was up, the song “Is Anybody Out There”
was released on the Coca-Cola website for free download.
In 2012, the band recorded a song for The Hunger Games
soundtrack, called "Come Away to the Water" featuring
Rozzi Crane. At the 54th Annual Grammy Awards, on
February 12, 2012, the group performed alongside Foster
the People and the Beach Boys in a medley of the Beach
Boys songs to celebrate their fiftieth anniversary.[80]

since 2010 and became a full-time band member as a
Keyboardist and backup vocalist after the announcement,
as Morton gained little success as an R&B vocalist.[81]
Levine stated that Overexposed is their “most diverse and
poppiest album yet”.[82] On April 16, 2012, the band pre-
miered the first single from the album "Payphone", fea-
turing Wiz Khalifa, on the reality competition television
show The Voice, in which Levine is one of the coaches.
The song debuted at number three on the Billboard Hot
100 chart, eventually peaking at number two. The second
single, "One More Night", was released on June 19, 2012.
The song reached number one on the Billboard Hot 100,
blocking Psy's monster hit "Gangnam Style" from the top
spot on the chart for nine consecutive weeks and tied with
Carly Rae Jepsen's hit single "Call Me Maybe" for most
number of weeks in the number one spot on the Billboard
Hot 100 chart in 2012.[83]
At the start of their Overexposed World Tour in South
America, Maroon 5 introduced the newest addition in
the band to the audience: their old and close friend Sam
Farrar on guitars, occasionally on the bass guitar, per-
cussion, additional keyboards, backing vocals, turntables
and providing samples and other special effects (using
the MPC).[84] Farrar co-wrote and co-produced a few of
the band’s songs on almost all of their studio albums and
also remixed their song “Woman” (from the Spider-Man
2) on Call and Response: The Remix Album, released in
2008.[85]
On November 27, 2012, the band released "Daylight",
the third single from the album. To promote the song,
the band launched a video project called “The Daylight
Project”. The project encouraged fans to film their own
segments for inclusion in the official music video for
“Daylight”, that would be directed by Jonas Åkerlund.
“Daylight” was performed for the first time as a single on
November 8, 2012, during an episode of the American
version of The Voice and the official video was released
on December 10, 2012.[86][87] A little over 4 months later
in the first week of April 2013, “Daylight” reached No. 1
on the Mainstream top 40, setting a record for the most
No. 1’s held by a group in over 20 years. [88]
On April 1, 2013, the band announced it would headline
the 12th Annual Honda Civic Tour with special guest,
Kelly Clarkson. The tour began on August 1, 2013, at
the Verizon Wireless Amphitheater in St. Louis, Mis-
souri and ended on October 6, 2013, with a concert at the
Hollywood Bowl in Los Angeles.[89] On May 14, 2013,
Maroon 5 released the fourth and final single from the al-
bum, "Love Somebody". The band first performed the
song on The Voice on May 20, 2013, while the official
music video, directed by Rich Lee, was released the day
after.[90][91]
