Biography
With his emotionally charged vocals, confessional songwriting, and a hint of bad boy swagger underneath his clean-cut image, Adam Levine was a rock star personified. The charismatic rocker sang lead vocals for Maroon 5, a Southern California-based group that stormed the charts with its debut album Songs About Jane (2002). A heady mix of rock, pop and soul, Maroon 5's debut spawned catchy hit singles such as "Harder to Breathe" and "This Love," which helped the band earn a Grammy Award in 2005 for Best New Artist. The band went on to sell millions worldwide with subsequent album releases and sold-out concert tours. Whether he was performing on stage, starring in music videos, or being photographed on red carpets, Levine's toned and tattooed look made him a 21st century rock hero. In 2011, Levine joined the cast of "The Voice" (NBC, 2011- ) a reality competition series where a group of notable recording artists judged and mentored aspiring singers. The casting of Levine on the show was not only pitch perfect, it also proved why he was a dynamic performer and a respectable presence in modern rock music. He expanded that renewed notoriety with a series of acting roles, first as a self-deprecating series of cameos as himself in films like "Pitch Perfect 2" (2015) and "Popstar: Never Stop Never Stopping" (2016) before co-starring in the comedies "Fun Mom Dinner" (2017) and The Clapper" (2017).
