Maroon 5 started out as Kara's Flowers, a bunch of Los Angeles high schoolers who got together in February 1994: Adam Levine on vocals and guitar, Jesse Carmichael on guitar, Mickey Madden on bass and Ryan Dusick on drums. Reprise signed them and put out The Fourth World in 1997, nobody much cared, the label cut them loose, and they went off to college.

When they came back in 2001, they had a new name, a new guitarist in James Valentine and a new sound: slinky, funk-lined pop rock built around Levine's high, slippery vocals and a groove that owed as much to funk as to guitar rock. Songs About Jane, released on Octone in 2002, was a slow burner that caught fire one single at a time, with the nervy strut of "Harder to Breathe", the finger-snapping "This Love" and the swooning "She Will Be Loved". It climbed to number six on the Billboard 200, went quadruple platinum and won them the Grammy for Best New Artist.

Dusick left in 2006 after wrist and shoulder injuries, with Matt Flynn taking over, and the band kept getting bigger from there: "Moves Like Jagger" and Overexposed pushed them further into pure pop, and they've sold more than 135 million records.
