It’s not uncommon for musical artists to move outside their singing comfort zones to reap the benefits of a multi-platform career. But it’s rare they find the level of success (AKA: cash money) that Adam Levine is now swimming in.
As the face of the hugely-successful NBC competitive series, “The Voice”, Adam has sprawled his talents into a plethora of side projects, including acting gigs on major networks, a celebrity fragrance line, a planned fashion collection, and a lucrative spokesperson job for Proactiv. (Let’s not forget, this is all on top of touring the country with his kick-@ss band, Maroon 5.)
But Adam’s not apologizing. The superstar told The Hollywood Reporter he’s anything but a sell-out.
“I think that there was this generation before us that was so hell-bent on not selling out that it went too far,” he said when asked about his $35 million — which is predominantly built on deals outside his musical talents.
“Maybe it’s history correcting itself because it’s more acceptable now to do a lot of things musicians would have been terrified to do ten years ago.”
Sell-out or not, we think he’s one magical piece of man meat, and our world is all the better because of him. You make that money, Adam!
