If art imitates life, then the critically acclaimed actor, director, producer, and recording artist Ashley Walters is living proof.
Ashley’s artistic journey began with a meteoric rise as a member of Britain's groundbreaking music collective So Solid Crew, where he encountered a pattern that defined his path, soaring successes followed by humbling setbacks. At 19, just weeks after winning a Brit Award, a conviction for possession of a converted air pistol threatened to derail his promising future. This cycle of triumph and challenge taught Ashley a powerful lesson: success isn't about avoiding falls, but about how you rise from them.
Determined to reshape his future, Ashley channelled his experiences into acting. Through explosive performances in Netflix's Top Boy and the recent hit Missing You, he has established himself as one of the UK's most compelling actors. Now, Ashley is breaking new ground behind the camera, with his directorial debut Boys receiving critical acclaim and cementing his position as a multifaceted creative force.
In this brave and inspiring conversation, Ashley will share the story behind his unwavering determination and resilience. He will reveal the revolutionary mindset that transformed his life and fuels his optimistic outlook, offering a framework for achieving success against any odds.
Through candid storytelling and hard-won insights, this event will demonstrate how the principles of Always Winning can guide anyone toward discovering their true purpose and achieving their fullest potential.
