He’s the man who discovered global stars 5 Seconds of Summer.
But now, Daily Mail Australia can reveal that Adam Wilkinson is making headlines for a different kind of deal-making – as a real estate agent in Sydney‘s Sutherland Shire.
It was thanks to a chance meeting with him back in 2011 that Australian boy band have now risen to the dizzy heights of world pop domination.
Visiting the record manager’s workplace Studios 301 for a tour, teenage boys Luke Hemmings, Ashton Irwin, Calum Hood and Michael Clifford immediately impressed Wilkinson.
Wilkinson finally made contact with the band through Facebook and invited him back into his studio.

Helping the Aussie rockers reach worldwide fame, the entrepreneur decided to step away from managing the rising stars in late 2013, handing over the role to Modest Management who also manage One Direction.
Once at the helm of sensational music collaborations with artists like Kenny Rogers, Coldplay, Tom Jay Williams and Lana Del Rey, Adam is now orchestrating property sales, with an impressive $500 million already chalked up in his real estate portfolio.
This career change might seem like a leap, but for Adam, it’s all about the timing and passion for new ventures.

In 2013 the musical mastermind joined the band on a trip to London, proving to be a dedicated mentor as the boys juggled studying for their final year of school while attending meetings and writing songs. Adam pictured with Michael and Luke
‘I wanted to leave [the music industry] while I was still on top of my game,’ he told Daily Mail Australia, underscoring his strategic exit from the music scene to a thriving new chapter closer to home in Cronulla.
In his new role, Adam’s star-studded charisma hasn’t dimmed one bit.
He’s leveraging his extensive experience in managing top-tier talent to provide a bespoke and thoroughly meticulous approach to real estate.
They have since released five albums, and received a slew of American Music Awards, MTV accolades and ARIA gongs. Pictured together at iHeartRadio Music Festival in 2022

His ability to understand his client’s needs and deliver beyond expectations makes him a standout in the property market just as much as he was in the music industry.
Partnering with Gibson Partners, Adam continues to shine, proving that his ability to captivate an audience—be it concertgoers or potential homebuyers—remains unmatched.
His approachable nature, combined with a promise to always deliver the best, ensures that his clients are in for a treat with every property viewing.
