Lisa and Fred Levine own two fashion stores geared toward men. Because ofthis, Levine claims he's always been ahead of the fashion curve. In 2005, he and Ryan Seacrest of American Idol attended the inauguration of M. Fredric MAN, his parents' second store, in Studio City.Levine attended the private Brentwood School, where he met the original members of the band Kara's Flowers, Jesse Carmichael, Mickey Madden and Ryan Dusick.

Failed bands
Levine first became friends with Jesse Carmichael, who played clarinet in Regis High School Orchestra, while playing together at the French WoodsFestival of the Performing Arts. As freshmen in high school, the two formed the bond that would make them best friends to this day. Levine, Madden and Carmichael played their first show together as EdibleNuns at their Jr. High dance, playing only cover versions of nineties favorites such as Pearl Jam and Alice in Chains.
As the trio progressed to high school, the drummer left the band. He was replacedby Amy Wood, a friend of one of the current members. She would soon leave the band and again the group was one drummer short, leaving a window of opportunity open for Adam. He would reconnect withRyan Dusick, who completed the band on drums.
Kara's Flowers
In 1997, the band released an album titled The Fourth World. The album never had much success, and its only single "Soap Disco" failed....
