He was only seven years old when as a young athlete he threw the ball into the basket in the last seconds of the game and saved the team from defeat at the local YMCA championship. As Levine later admitted in an interview, this victory was the pledge of his self-confidence for the rest of his life.

It was comfortable for the boy living with his mother on weekdays, and dealings with his father’s family on weekends.

I read an article about him and was shocked that Levin, in addition to music, released a line of perfumes and was engaged in the design of guitars. In general, an addicted person :)
