Stephen MandersonDistinguished Musician and Mental Health Advocate

Stephen Manderson, widely recognised as Professor Green, is a multi-talented musician, broadcaster, and author who has successfully transitioned from the London grime scene to become a leading voice on social issues. After the release of his award-winning debut album, Alive Till I’m Dead, he utilised his public platform to address the stigma surrounding male suicide and depression. Drawing from his own upbringing in Hackney and the personal impact of his father's death, he offers a profound exploration of identity, poverty, and the challenges facing vulnerable communities. Beyond his musical achievements, Stephen is an established television presenter, known for such documentaries as Suicide and Me, Hidden and Homeless, and Living in Poverty. His work has earned him the MIND Making a Difference National Award and he serves as a patron for the charity CALM. Through his autobiography, Lucky, and various media appearances on programmes like Newsnight and BBC Breakfast, he continues to examine the pressures of masculinity, the importance of vulnerability, and the necessity of robust support systems in schools and the wider community. Organisations book Stephen for his ability to discuss sensitive subjects with exceptional honesty and eloquence. He provides audiences with a unique perspective on resilience, the realities of fame, and the vital connection between modern culture and mental wellbeing. On stage, Stephen Manderson is best known for talks on Wellbeing. Audiences leave with a clear, practical view of the subject rather than a generic overview — every keynote is shaped around the brief and the room.
