Adam Ant

Adam Ant is an English musician who gained popularity as the lead singer of New Wave/post-punk group Adam and the Ants and later as a solo artist, scoring ten UK top ten hits between 1980 and 1983, including three No.1s.

Ant was also a star in America where he not only scored a string of hit singles and albums, but was once voted sexiest man in America by the viewers of MTV. Since 2010, Ant has undertaken a major reactivation of his musical career, performing live regularly in his hometown London and beyond, recording a new album and with two full-length UK national tours now completed and a US national tour now scheduled.

With Adam and the Ants, the band would develop a theatrical, charismatic on-screen persona with music videos on the new MTV channel. With romantic costumes and heavy make-up, the band was an early example of the New Romantic movement but they still showed their punk roots. Lavish videos were produced for "Stand and Deliver", "Prince Charming", and "Ant Rap". All Adam and the Ants music videos were produced and storyboarded by Adam Ant. These videos helped break the band in the United States when MTV began airing them. "Prince Charming" features a guest appearance by British screen legend Diana Dors as the fairy Godmother and "Ant Rap" features Scottish pop singer Lulu as the "damsel in distress".

As a solo artist, Adam Ant would record an additional five studio albums throughout the 1980s and early 1990s. His greatest chart success was 1982's Friend or Foe album, which included the hit single "Goody Two Shoes" which became a Number One single on the UK Singles Chart, as well as a Top 20 single on the Billboard Hot 100 in the United States.
