I te tau 2001, i puta mai te rōpū hei Maroon 5, i whai i tētahi aronga rerekē, ā, i tāpiri i te kaitākaro kita, ko Valentine. I hainatia e te rōpū ki Octone Records, he āpitihanga o J Records, ā, i whakaputaina tō rātou pukaemi tuatahi, ko Songs About Jane, i te Hune 2002. I te āwhina o tōna kotahi matua, "Harder to Breathe", i whiwhi i te rere nui, i eke te pukaemi ki te tau ono i runga i te mahere Billboard 200, ā, i riro i a ia te pūmārō i te tau 2004. I riro i te rōpū te Tohu Grammy mō te Kaitoi Hou Pai rawa atu i te tau 2005. I te tau 2006, i wehe atu a Dusick i te rōpū i muri i te mamae i ngā whara nui o te ringa me te pokohiwi, ā, i whakakapia e Matt Flynn. Pātai: I te wā i uru atu ai a Valentine ki Maroon 5?
Ko te tau 2001
