Born into a musical family, it is not surprising that Adam King started a band with his siblings when he was young. The group never hit it big, but Adam grew to celebrity status when he joined the cast of MTV's 'The Real World Paris,' and then went on to compete in the 'Real World/Road Rules Challenges.' Born in Atlanta, GA, his family moved to Beverly Hills before Adam started school. He is a true California boy who loves to write songs, dance, and play beach volleyball. He even has taken the self-proclaimed title of the "greatest beer-pong player the western hemisphere has ever seen." Adam makes every party a scene with his larger-than-life personality, and you can catch him making appearances at celebrity College Spring Break parties all over the States and Mexico.
Adam's take on Spring Break with StudentCity
When I go on spring break, I don't like to take a day off. With Student City's party package, I don't have to. I can party all day and night, wake up the next morning and start all over again! With a different party at a different location every night of the week, I never get bored. Puerto Vallarta had the perfect blend of American party energy and authentic Mexican culture, and it's only getting better.
