Who is Tre Lowe?

Tre Lowe has had experience of success before appearing on The Apprentice.

He is one half of Architechs, a British garage band who had a hit with 'Body Groove' in September 2000, reaching number three in the UK singles chart.

Lowe said: “I have proven success. People think I am a cool dude. But underneath all of that, I am a super-geek.

“One of my dreams as a child was to be in those big red Britannica Encyclopaedia volumes, alongside the likes of Galileo, Newton, and Tesla. Total super nerd. Still cool though."

Lowe has a number of A-list celebrities as friends, including Oscar winning actress Emma Thompson, Big Brother presenter AJ Odudu and model Emily Ratajkowksi.

He has also shared pictures of himself with TV presenter Jonathan Ross and Britain's Got Talent judge Alesha Dixon.

He has also previously met Lord Sugar, being pictured with him and music mogul Simon Cowell at a party in 2014.

Lowe's bandmate, older brother Ashley Akabah, sadly passed away in 2020 at the age of 49.

Tre has continued the act solo, and even appeared performing their hit song on The Big Breakfast in 2022.

His website describes him as: "an award-winning Producer-Songwriter, Mentor & Entrepreneur."

It also says that he has provided remixes for industry giants such as Usher, Justin Timberlake, Mariah Carey and Whitney Houston.

Lowe owns the record label MBL Entertainment, and also runs the coaching and consultancy company, Alpha Clique.

He has since stepped back from performing to start a wellness business.
