Professor Green

[2][3] Growing up on a council estate in Clapton, east London, Green went on to become a multi-platinum artist, with 3.5 million combined sales in the UK.

[7] Manderson was raised by his grandmother, great-grandmother and uncles in a two bedroom flat on the Northwold housing estate in Upper Clapton, Hackney, London, in a home which he describes as chaotic.

[1] Although he was a bright student and dreamed of being a lawyer, he suffered from depression at the loss of his parents and he left Stoke Newington School in Clissold Road without any qualifications.

[32] The fourth single was "Avalon" featuring Sierra Kusterbeck, which appeared on an advert for the energy drink Relentless.

[33] Pro Green is a brand ambassador for Relentless, and performed for them at a secret gig in his home town of Hackney, London.

Green also posted a short clip of a collaboration with iSHI and Ella Eyre which didn't make the album.

In 2014, he appeared on a remix of "German Whip" by Meridian Dan, also featuring Skepta, Bossman Birdie and Jordan Stephens.

The album featured guest appearances from James Craise, Tori Kelly, Mr Probz, Rizzle Kicks, Whinnie Williams, Thabo, Cas and Dream Mclean.

[41] In August 2021, Green was signed to a worldwide artist services deal with British independent record label Cooking Vinyl.

[42] In June 2017, Green endorsed Labour Party leader Jeremy Corbyn in the 2017 UK general election.

He told fans to stop "listening to the slander and attempted media blanket" of Corbyn, adding: "He is for peace and not war, that doesn't make him weak, nor does it mean he's spineless or without a backbone – quite the opposite.

"[43][44][45] In November 2019, along with 34 other musicians, he signed a letter endorsing Corbyn in the 2019 UK general election with a call to end austerity.

[46][47] In July 2017, while visiting Rochdale to film a documentary, he confronted the leaders of far right political group Britain First, as reported in the British media, filming an anti-Muslim march he witnessed taking place in the Northern town, interviewing co-leader Jayda Fransen.

[49] In 2023, Green gave his support to the British Gas Post Office Pop-Ups campaign, where pop-up advice centres, funded by the British Gas Energy Trust, opened in post offices across the UK to offer free money and energy advice, and mental health support.

[51] In May 2013, Green was crushed between two cars when travelling to perform a live show at Hartpury College in Gloucester.

He was taken to hospital with a suspected broken leg, but returned to appear at Harper Adams University in Shropshire after just three weeks, followed by a long set at Glastonbury during the last weekend in June, which included him running along the front row of the audience.

Professor Green performed as a special guest of Lily Allen in 2009.
