Adam Ant first discovered his musical and artistic ability after a teacher took interest in him during an incident where he smashed in his head-master’s window.
In 1977, the band, Adam and the Ants, was formed. The group began to play shows around London and acted in the punk rock film Jubilee. In 1982, the released a song from the movie as a single entitled “Deutscher Girls/Plastic Surgery.” Prior to that, they released their debut album called Dirk Wears White Sox in 1979 but proved to be unpopular with British musical press of the time. After hiring the Sex Pistols manager, Malcolm McLaren, to rework their image, the group found success in the 1980 album Kings of the Wild Frontier.

In 1982, Adam broke off as a solo artist and released the album, Friend or Foe. The single “Goody Two Shoes” reached number one on the British charts.

Adam released four more albums up to 2013 with the album, Adam Ant is the Blueblack Hussar in Marrying The Gunner’s Daughter. In 2008, Adam was awarded a Q Award for Q Icon.
The tone of Ant’s debut solo album, Friend or Foe, was defined as glitzy glam pop with “tongue-in-cheek tunes, delivered with an excess of flair and good humour”. It was also described as being “one of Ant’s best records and one of the best new wave albums”.

In a review for Strip, the songs were considered to contain a “mixture of driving, danceable rock with humour”.
The music on Vive Le Rock has been said to be a “50s-style rock & roll sound”.
The fourth studio album, Manners and Physique, was said to be a combination of “contemporary dance tracks” and Ant’s “old flair for mockery”. Ant himself later said that the album was styled after the bass heavy Minneapolis sound, of which André Cymone, in Ant’s words, was “one of the architects”.
