Born on October 4, 1988, in Leytonstone, London, Ashley was studying at Queen Mary, University of London when his life took a dramatic turn. With a background in physics and biology, he was on an academic path before the immense success of Britain’s Got Talent propelled him into the spotlight. Prior to their television breakthrough, Diversity had already made waves in the street dance scene, notably winning the 2007 Street Dance Weekend.

Diversity’s performance on Britain’s Got Talent captivated the nation and ultimately won them the title, beating strong competition from singer Susan Boyle. Their win led to an invitation to perform at the prestigious Royal Variety Performance in front of Queen Elizabeth II.

Even when sidelined by injury during one of the Christmas tours, Banjo continued to shape their performances behind the scenes. His creativity and vision led to the success of tours like Limitless in 2013.
