The Apprentice 2024 is almost here, which means it’s time to dig further into the applicants.
Starting February 1, a whole new set of business aspirants will compete for Lord Alan Sugar’s £250,000 investment, hoping to make it through those gruelling boardrooms and be told, ‘You’re hired’ by the man himself in the end.
The candidates were presented this week, and they are a diverse group.
The judges, Baroness Karen Brady and past winner Tim Campbell, will assess the performance of a failed Dragons’ Den star, two pie specialists, and a body popper from Britain’s Got Talent.
Tre Lowe, a contender known for his band success, may be a recognisable face.
Who is Tre Lowe and what band was he in?
It was certified gold in the UK after selling 400,000 units, and it later received millions of listens on Spotify.
Tre defined his music career as’something absolutely exceptional’.
Who was Tre Lowe’s brother?
Ashley Akabah sadly died in 2020.
The 49-year-old and his brother were also behind remixes of hits for the likes of Usher, Justin Timberlake, and Mariah Carey.
Announcing his death at the time, a short statement read: ‘He died as he lived, excited about music. Forever a musician. Forever loved.’
Paying tribute to his brother, Tre later said: ‘My beautiful brother, Ashley. You brought joy to so many lives with your love for crafting music and putting pen to paper to create magic.’
Recalling the creation of their The Boy Is Mine remix, he added: ‘I remember us making the Boy Is Mine with Kevin in his studio. Together we transformed my little beat into a track that helped alter the history of urban UK music. That was your gift to the world. The ability to bring light with your creative genius.

‘To millions you will forever be the voice on the eternal classic Body Groove. To me, you will always be my big brother, my hero and a truly beautiful soul.’
‘I long for the day when we make music together again. Love you, bro,’ he concluded.
Body Groove singer Nay Nay added: ‘I’m so shocked and saddened by Ashley’s sudden departure and am thinking of his family during this difficult time. He was passionate about music and creating Body Groove was such a positive time we had together in the studio.
‘This record took us around the world and has now become an integral part of UK music; we made a classic! I’m proud to have created and been part of such an iconic moment. My thoughts and prayers are with his family. His music will live on. Rest In Peace.’
