Who Are The Non-Adam Levine Members of Maroon 5?
They hang with celebs, they're insanely talented and in their own way, they're each rockstars. Do you know Maroon 5 outside of Adam Levine?

20 years ago, Adam Levine and a small group of his musician friends formed the band Kara's Flowers and rehearsed in garages. Over the years, they've lost members, gained members and ultimately became the group we know and love as Maroon 5. Needless to say, garage rehearsals no more. They're cool with not being center stage as the group lead, but don't underestimate, because these guys definitely have it going on. PJ is signed to Lil Wayne's YMCM label, Matt has played with Gavin DeGraw and Chicago and James is even part of another band (how does this man sleep?) They're romantics, foodies and party boys. Get to know the guys of Maroon 5 and soon you'll see why you would want to hang with them, too.
