music writerKOH-1
Started working as a music writer as a side job while employed at a record shop, and have been contributing to music magazines and web media for over 15 years. Although Western music is my main field, I always strive to stay curious with the motto, “I like what I like.” I have experience playing in a band, where I was a bassist responsible for songwriting and composition. Instruments I’ve performed on include bass, guitar, and piano. I resumed piano lessons after turning 40 and have been continuing ever since!

Armed with a musicality that brilliantly fuses a variety of genres—R&B, soul, pop, and more—Maroon 5 has achieved record-breaking success in the music scene since the 2000s.

With the frontman Adam Levine—once named the “Sexiest Man Alive”—showcasing his falsetto and a string of hit songs with unforgettable melodies, even those who aren’t particularly into Western music have probably heard their tunes at least once.

So, how much do you know about Maroon 5?

Whether you’re a longtime fan or someone who just recently discovered them, try your hand at this Maroon 5 trivia quiz!
