A High School Band Gone Global: Maroon 5
Since their 2002 debut, Maroon 5 has sold over 10 million albums in the US, 15 million worldwide, and they've won three Grammys. It might have never happened if the band stopped after their early incarnation wasn't well received. Instead, they persisted -- and it paid off.
The band didn't always go by the name Maroon 5. While in high school, Adam Levine, Jesse Carmichael, Mickey Madden, and Ryan Dusick formed a group called Kara's Flowers. They signed to a record label, but unfortunately, their first album fell flat and the group disbanded. Levine and Carmichael headed to college in New York, where they were introduced to gospel, hip-hop and R&B. With new inspiration, they reformed their band with a new name: Maroon 5.
