Adam trained at Guildford School of Acting and The University of Central Lancashire, and credits whilst training include The Governor in Candide, Man 1 in Closer Than Ever, Roger in Rent, Billy in Carrie.

Following graduation in 2016, Kingsley completed two tours as a lead vocalist on cruise ships, travelling the world with P&O and Viking Cruises.
