OMAR APOLLO

Watch out for this madness. He’s one of the most exciting names on the current US scene, thanks to his shape-shifting music, effortlessly moving from viral hits dripping with soul and R&B to openly pop and alternative rock jams. Omar Apollo has released two EPs, Stereo in 2018 and Apolonio in 2020, collaborated with artists as thrilling as himself like Daniel Caesar on “Invincible” (February 2022), Kali Uchis on “Bad Life” (November 2021), or Joji on “High Hopes” (September 2020), and his debut album, Ivory, released in 2022. A staunch advocate for LGBTQIA+ rights, the artist, who embraces his Mexican heritage, refuses to be pigeonholed, preferring to ride on fluidity, which is as much at the core of his identity as it is in his music.
