Ashley Walters talks to Afua Hirsch

A rare opportunity to hear from actor and rapper Ashley Walters on the release of his memoir. He discusses Always Winning, a candidly-written account of a turbulent past and a philosophy for turning his life around, with writer, presenter and former barrister Afua Hirsch.

Walters’ on-screen performances and rap career have been as explosive as his off-screen life. After experiencing London gang culture, prison and addiction, he completely changed his life – here he shares the framework he adopted to overcome challenges and find inner purpose.

Rising to fame as a member of early 2000s hip hop collective So Solid Crew, he is now an actor, director, producer and recording artist, with acting credits including Bulletproof, Missing You, Adolescence and the BAFTA-winning Top Boy.
