At 37 years old, Mannix Pedro has already lived a few lifetimes’ worth of experiences. Born in 1987 and raised in the heart of Northwest London, Mannix carved his path from rapper to successful entrepreneur, building a life that reflects both his Congolese and Angolan heritage and his lifelong passion for high-end luxury. Today, as the founder of TopTier Confidential, Mannix’s influence on the luxury automotive scene is unmistakable.
TopTier Confidential began as an idea in London—a city Mannix says shaped him in countless ways. “London is where I found my ambition. It’s where I learned how to hustle,” he explains. Founded with a vision of creating an immersive luxury experience, TopTier Confidential set out to fill a gap in the high-end auto world, blending content with unforgettable experiences. But it was after Mannix expanded the brand from London to Miami that it truly took on a global presence.
TopTier Confidential is more than just a supercar magazine. It’s a platform for high-octane experiences, a TV show that’s scheduled to hit Channel 4 in early 2025, and a YouTube channel that brings the excitement of the luxury car scene to audiences worldwide. What sets TopTier Confidential apart is Mannix’s hands-on approach. He doesn’t just showcase supercars—he lives and breathes the lifestyle, hosting airport runway test drives and curating experiences that make luxury accessible without losing the exclusivity.
For Mannix, cars have always been more than just machines; they’re symbols of ambition and style. “There’s nothing like a Rolls-Royce,” he says, admitting that the Cullinan holds a special place in his heart. Known for its elegance and presence, the Cullinan embodies the same balance of luxury and power that Mannix aims to bring to TopTier Confidential. “It’s a reminder of how far I’ve come and where I want to go,” he adds.
Mannix’s journey hasn’t been without challenges. “You learn fast in this business,” he says, recalling the early days of building TopTier Confidential and making connections in the industry. His background in music gave him a unique edge—he already understood the importance of branding and connecting with an audience. From working with influencers to developing relationships with high-profile clients, he knew how to market himself and his brand effectively, drawing on the authenticity that people resonated with when he was performing as T.e.k.s.
Today, Mannix’s vision for TopTier Confidential goes beyond just cars. He’s on a mission to make luxury approachable while staying true to his roots. The content he creates reflects not only the glamour of the supercar world but also his personal journey—from Northwest London to Miami, from rapper to renowned entrepreneur. “TopTier Confidential is about more than cars; it’s about aspiration,” he says.
As he prepares to bring TopTier Confidential to television, Mannix is only just getting started. The legacy he’s building isn’t just for the luxury car scene—it’s for anyone who dares to dream big and believes in making their own way. For Mannix Pedro, TopTier Confidential is not just a brand; it’s a testament to how far ambition can take you.
