He chose not to have a Bar Mitzvah as a child because of the custom of receiving Bar Mitzvah gifts, explaining: "I felt as though a lot of kids were trying to cash in I just don't think it's the most respectful way to deal with God and opinions and years and years and years of cultural heritage."[9] Levine is a nephew of correspondent and author Timothy Noah, and television producer and writer Peter Noah.[13][14]

After the break up of Kara's Flowers, Levine, along with Carmichael, left Los Angeles to pursue higher studies at Five Towns College in Recent York.[20][28] On MTV News, in , he said: "That's when I started waking up to the whole hip-hop, R&B thing.
We had friends named Chaos and Shit. It was not Brentwood High".[29] They dropped out after a semester,[30] and reunited with Madden and Dusick to form a band once more.[30] They experimented with several styles, including country and folk, before deciding groove-based music would get their genre.[17] Levine explained the need for a makeover for the band: "We were just so sick of being a typical rock 'n' roll band I felt like I needed to look elsewhere for vocal inspiration."[20] The band put together a demo that was rejected by several labels, before it caught the attention of Octone Records executives James Diener, Ben Berkman, and David Boxenbaum.[26] Monitoring Berkman's advice, the band added a fifth member, James Valentine, and was renamed Maroon 5.
In an interview with HitQuarters, Berkman explained that Levine "seemed to be a very timid, shoe-gazing type a fifth member could play the guitar to free up the singer [Levine], so he could be the star I perceived him to be".[23]
