Since then he's starred in a blockbuster movie, created multiple sell out nation-wide arena tours entertaining over 1 million people and become a judge on the hit SKY talent show Got To Dance.
The name Diversity was chosen by Ashley not only to describe the group's unique style, but because it's a perfect description of their visual appearance of age, ethnicity and what each member brings to the performance. Ashley has managed to capture the true essence of the group with the carefully chosen mix of music and using the strengths of each of the guys.
Ashley Banjo the group's creator, leader and choreographer has been dancing since he was just 5 years old, however it was Ballet dancing that was his first passion. This largely came about as a result of his mother's influence, who was a former dancer with The Royal Ballet. Later in his school years Ashley developed an interest in street dance and after performing solo in a number of events, he and his brother Jordan and nine friends formed a street dance group called Swift Mover. In 2007 they changed their name to Diversity.
Incorporating several genres of music from classical to hip-hop, Diversity's diverse eye-catching routines won the hearts of the nation.
