Adam Levine
Adam Noah Levine ( lə-VEEN; born March 18, 1979) is an American singer, songwriter, musician and television personality who is the lead singer, rhythm guitarist and sole continuous member of the pop rock band Maroon 5.
Levine began his musical pursuits in 1994, as a teenager, with the band Kara's Flowers, for which he served as lead vocalist and lead guitarist. Three years in they released their only album, The Fourth World, which was a commercial failure. The group was reformed in 2001 as Maroon 5 – with James Valentine replacing him as lead guitarist. In 2002, Maroon 5 released their first album, Songs About Jane, which went multi-platinum in the US; since then, they have released seven more albums: It Won't Be Soon Before Long (2007), Hands All Over (2010), Overexposed (2012), V (pronounced: "five"; 2014), Red Pill Blues (2017), Jordi (2021), and Love Is Like (2025). As part of Maroon 5, Levine has received multiple accolades, including three Grammy Awards. As a solo artist, he achieved concurrent commercial success with his guest appearance on Gym Class Heroes' 2011 single "Stereo Hearts", which peaked within the top five of the Billboard Hot 100.
From 2011 to 2019, and again in 2025 and 2026, Levine has been featured for nineteen seasons as a coach on NBC's reality talent show The Voice. The winners of multiple seasons (1, 5, 9, and 29) belonged to his team. In 2012, Levine made his acting debut as the recurring character Leo Morrison in the second season of the television series American Horror Story. He also appeared in the films Begin Again (2013), Popstar: Never Stop Never Stopping (2016), Fun Mom Dinner and The Clapper (both 2017). Levine launched his eponymous fragrance line in 2013. The same year, he collaborated with Kmart and ShopYourWay.com to develop his menswear collection. He also owns a record label, 222 Records, and a production company, 222 Productions, which produced television shows Sugar and Songland. In 2013, The Hollywood Reporter reported that "sources familiar with his many business dealings" estimated Levine would earn more than $35 million that year.
