Michael Allen Madden [1] (born May 13, 1979) is an American musician and former bassist for the pop rock band Maroon 5. [2]
Madden was born in Austin, Texas. He began playing in junior high school at the Brentwood School in Los Angeles, playing in garages along with friends Jesse Carmichael (guitar/vocals) and Adam Levine (lead vocals/guitar). The bands Pearl Jam and Nirvana were among their influences. In 1994, with the addition of Ryan Dusick (drums), the band Kara's Flowers was formed. [3]
After the break-up of Kara's Flowers, Madden attended classes at UCLA. After Madden attended college, the group reformed with guitarist James Valentine joining the line-up, and Jesse Carmichael mainly playing the keyboards, and pursued a new musical direction, changing their name to Maroon 5.
Until his departure from Maroon 5 on July 14, 2020, Madden was the only other member besides Adam Levine to have remained in both Kara's Flowers and Maroon 5 consistently. [4]
Madden is also a founding member of a multimedia project called Collapsing Scenery, along with multi-instrumentalist Don Devore. [5]
Madden was a dedicated vegan for ten years, and he supported the farmers [6] and Farm Sanctuary. [7]
In 2016, Madden was arrested on drug possession charges alongside James Gubelmann, Ivanka Trump's ex-boyfriend, outside a bar in Manhattan. [8] Madden accepted a day of community service in a plea deal. [9]
On June 27, 2020, he was arrested on domestic violence charges. He announced his departure from Maroon 5 following his arrest. [10] The Los Angeles District Attorney ultimately declined prosecution; the case was dropped, and no charges were filed. [11]
