Omar Apollo is one of music’s most exciting shape-shifters. As the 24-year-old singer/songwriter releases his debut album IVORY, he's holding close to music that feels inventive, experimental, and true to his wide-ranging passion. R&B remains the foundation, but Apollo is branching out with a bilingual fusion of funk, pop, electronic, hip-hop, reggaéton, corridos...or as he puts it, “everything.”

Apollo has had a transformative journey, from listening to Brandy and Stevie Wonder as a kid, to plucking away at a guitar at as a pre-teen, to self-releasing a pair of EPs as a young man (2018’s Stereo and 2019’s Friends) that established his signature “bedroom soul” sound, and earned him love from fans and press. As unique as his sound is, Apollo has garnered as much attention for his lyrics; themes of romantic yearning and self-improvement swirled up with expressions of cultural heritage and identity. In 2020, he released his unapologetically open-hearted mixtape Apolonio, which featured fan favorite “Want U Around” and showed the artist foreshadowing what’s to come next musically. To celebrate Apolonio's release, Apollo performed a livestream concert from Paisley Park, the legendary residence of one of his heroes, Prince.

The year 2021 proved to be a productive one for Omar as he put the finishing touches on his debut LP and unveiled two singles, “Go Away” and “Bad Life” featuring Kali Uchis. Apollo closed out the year on a high note receiving a Latin GRAMMY nomination for his collaboration “Te Olvidaste“ with C Tangana.

Apollo's long-awaited debut album IVORY brings him to another level in his career. Crossing genre lines as well as language barriers, the full-length showcases even greater musical diversity from the already boundless creator. Despite being at this pivotal moment in his career, Omar feels like he's just getting started. The artist who once called himself "just a kid from Indiana" is breaking new ground, abandoning all comfort zones, and never looking back.
