Adam Noah Levine is an American singer, songwriter, actor, and the lead vocalist of the pop-rock band Maroon 5. The first album by Maroon 5, Songs About Jane (2002), catapulted Adam to fame, eventually placing him at the center of the American music and entertainment scene. Fresh out of school, Adam formed a rock band called Kara's Flowers with his classmates and released an album, The Fourth World (1997), which did not perform well commercially. After the band broke up, they regrouped with a new musical style and a new name — Maroon 5 — adding new members to the lineup. Since then, Maroon 5 has released multiple albums, many of which have been major commercial successes, including It Won't Be Soon Before Long, Hands All Over, Overexposed, V, Red Pill Blues, and Jordi. Adam also gained widespread fame as a judge and coach on the reality television show The Voice, where several contestants from his team went on to achieve significant success. In addition to his musical career, Adam has acted in the horror TV series American Horror Story: Asylum and appeared in films such as Begin Again (2013). He has also showcased his entrepreneurial talents by launching an eponymous fragrance line and a men's clothing collection, ventures that have added significantly to his fortune.
