So Solid Crew to Netflix & Drake

Ashley Walters is the British musician, actor, and producer.

He is best known for playing the lead role in “Top Boy”, the Netflix show and modern cultural phenomenon, that was revived after a 6 year hiatus with help from the Canadian rapper Drake.

Ashley first entered the British music scene in 2001 as Asher D from So Solid Crew, with the number one single “21 seconds” at the age of just 19.  And after an extended break, he just dropped his new single titled “Top Boy”.


This year he earned his first producer credit on the TV show Bulletproof, and hosted the inaugural Top Boy Academy, which aims to give back to the community, and pioneer a rise in new talent across London and the rest of the UK.
