However, his big break came in 2006 when he appeared in the lead role of Joe Guide in the film How to Eat Fried Worms. It was followed by a supporting role in the movie Mostly Ghostly in 2008. The next year, he was cast in the Disney XD sitcom Zeke and Luther as one of the co-leads, Luthisour "Luther" Waffles. After the series ended in 2012, he bagged a lead role in another Disney XD sitcom, Pair of Kings, which ran successfully for three seasons. He played the role of King Boz, replacing the character of King Brady portrayed by Mitchel Musso.

Passionate about music since he was a child, Adam Hicks achieved success as a hip-hop singer-songwriter following his acting fame. His first recorded song was a remake of the MC Hammer song "U Can't Touch This" in which he appeared as a featured artist with fellow ‘Zeke and Luther’ co-star Daniel Curtis Lee. It was followed by a remix of the song "In the Summertime" by Mungo Jerry. The music videos for both the songs were shown on Disney XD in 2009 and became part of ‘Zeke and Luther’ soundtrack. He finally got to combine two of his passions, acting and singing, when he starred as Wendell "Wen" Gifford in the 2011 teen musical film Lemonade Mouth. The soundtrack album Lemonade Mouth was released on April 12, 2011. Along with his band members, he performed four of the songs and also contributed to the lyrics of three of the songs. The album peaked at number 4 on the Billboard 200. Around the same time, he was working on a single titled "We Burnin' Up", which featured Chris Brochu in the music video.

Adam Hicks became involved in a relationship with Brianna Mccraken in 2008. They dated for two years before separating in 2010. He was later linked to co-star Chelsea Ricketts, who appeared on one episode of the series Zeke and Luther. After his mother passed away in November 2015, a source close to him confirmed the rumored relationship by stating that Chelsea helped him cope with the ordeal by staying by his side during this time.
