GRAMMY® AWARD-WINNING SINGER/SONGWRITER AND ACTRESS ASHANTI LENDS HER VOICE TO THE NO ADDRESS AUDIOBOOK – A POWERFUL & HONEST PORTRAYAL OF HOMELESSNESS IN AMERICA
The chart-topping artist executive produces and stars as a lead character in the current feature film “No Address,” which will be streaming at home on digital and on demand in April.
MARCH 19, 2025 – Sacramento, CA: GRAMMY® Award-winning singer/songwriter and actress Ashanti, is bringing her unmistakable voice and heart to No Address, the audiobook adaptation of the highly anticipated novel based on the current feature film. Both the movie and novel are key components of an ambitious initiative from Robert Craig Films aimed at humanizing the complex and urgent issue of homelessness in the United States.
Adapted from the movie screenplay by 15-time New York Times bestselling author Ken Abraham, No Address offers a raw and honest look into the lives of those experiencing homelessness. Ashanti, who stars as the character “Violet” in the film—a military veteran battling addiction and life on the streets—narrates the audiobook, adding emotional depth and authenticity through her rich, warm voice.
Additionally, the #1-charting singer/songwriter and actress has the lead song, "Bonafide Survivor," on the No Address soundtrack.
“I was truly moved by this story,” says Ashanti. “The script captures so many different perspectives on this heartbreaking and massive problem we’re facing. I immediately wanted to be a part of this film and its important message—as an actress, as an executive producer, and now being the voice of the audiobook. The characters and the real-life work the team is doing will make this a monumental and impactful project. I love being able to give back, raise awareness, and support our communities however I can.”
No Address—the movie, the novel, and now the audiobook—is part of Robert Craig Films’ The Big 5 media initiative, which uses storytelling to inspire change and compassion. The company has pledged to donate 50% of net profits from No Address and its related projects to nonprofits serving those experiencing homelessness. The campaign’s goal is to raise awareness that homelessness could happen to anyone—and that everyone has a role to play in the solution.
The audiobook for No Address, will be released on March 18, 2025, and will be available on Amazon Audible and Google Play Books, and additional platforms.
Additionally, the feature film, No Address, will be widely available and streaming on digital and on demand in early April.
