The Beginning of Adam Levine

Adam Levine was born on March 18th 1979 in Los Angeles to proud parents Fredric and Patsy, who would ultimately divorce when Adam was seven. Like most children in divorces, Adam spent time with both his mom and dad while growing up. In a way, we’re lucky he went through turmoil and pain as a child, as he feels this opened up his emotional soul, using music to find his inner peace. Maroon 5 is his love, while performing his expression of love.

Adam credits Simon & Garfunkel, Fleetwood Mac, and Beatles as early musical influences. Feeling inspired, Adam joined fellow Brentwood school mates to form the band ‘Kara’s Flowers.’ The boys played their first gig at the famous Whisky a Go Go, being discovered by independent producer Tommy Allen. Here are a few more Adam Levine fun facts…

Adam’s first group ‘Kara’s Flowers’ eventually broke up, causing him to move to New York where he found work as an assistant writer for the CBS TV show ‘Judging Amy.’ Adam found time to write more songs, forming the band we now know as Maroon 5.

It’s reported Adam was paid between $10 and $15 million dollars per episode as a judge on ‘The Voice.’
Adam has some acting chops, appearing in American Horror Story: Asylum, and a lead in the movie ‘Begin Again.’

Adam Levine’s net worth is estimated to be near $60 million dollars.
