Adam Rickitt is one of the UK’s most recognisable crossover pop talents of the late 1990s and early 2000s, successfully bridging mainstream pop success, television stardom and live performance. With a career that has spanned chart music, iconic soap roles and major touring productions, Adam has remained a familiar and much-loved figure in British entertainment.
He first emerged as a national star through his role as Nick Tilsley in Coronation Street, where his popularity quickly extended beyond television. His debut single 'I Breathe Again' stormed the UK charts and became one of the year’s defining pop tracks, earning international success across Europe, Asia, Australia and New Zealand. The single was also recognised as the most played first song of the millennium, firmly establishing Adam as a chart-topping recording artist.
Adam continued to balance acting and music, returning to Coronation Street in the early 2000s before taking on the role of Kieran Mitchell in Shortland Street. In 2013, he reconnected with his pop roots on ITV’s The Big Reunion as a member of the supergroup 5th Story, performing alongside fellow chart stars for sold-out arena shows. He later joined the cast of Hollyoaks, further cementing his presence on British screens.
Now returning to his musical roots, Adam is working on new material that retains his signature melodic strength while embracing richer themes, modern production and renewed artistic control. With decades of experience in front of live audiences and on national television, Adam Rickitt offers a nostalgic yet contemporary performance style that resonates strongly with fans across generations.
