After the break up of Kara's Flowers, Levine, along with Carmichael, left Los Angeles to pursue further studies in New York.[20] On MTV News, in 2002, 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".[28] After dropping out of Five Towns College, where he and Carmichael had enrolled to study music, they reunited with Madden and Dusick to form a band once more.[29] They experimented with several styles, including country andfolk, before deciding groove-based music would become their genre.[13] 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 falling into the hands ofOctone Records executives James Diener, Ben Berkman, and David Boxenbaum.[26] Following Berkman's advice, the band added a fifth member, former Square guitarist James Valentine, and was renamed Maroon 5. In an interview with HitQuarters, Berkman explained that Levine "seemed to be a very shy, 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]
Around this time, Levine had been working as a writer's assistant on the CBS television show Judging Amy, whose producer Barbara Hall was his family friend.[3] While on the show, he would spend time writing songs about his ex-girlfriend Jane. These songs were put into Maroon 5's debut album Songs About Jane, which was released in June 2002. The album slowly gained airplay, and eventually became a sleeper hit, selling an estimated 10 million copies[30] and becoming the tenth best-selling album of 2004, two years after its release.[31] In 2005, Maroon 5 won their first Grammy Award, for Best New Artist.[32] The next year, they won the GrammyAward for Best Pop Performance by a Duo or Group with Vocals for the second Songs About Jane single "This Love".[33]
