Ok this cat spits the truth...I dig him so very very much... In 2007, he became the first spoken word artist to perform at the Billboard Awards. Apollo's major appearances include MTV'S True Life, VIBE Magazine, The WakeUp Show, Source's Unsigned Hype, Showtime at Apollo, along with performances at Madison Square Garden & America West Arena. Born in Jerusalem and raised in New Jersey, he has spend the last few years of his life in Arizona on a spiritual quest. He now calls the road his home. The microphone his vehicle. Apollo has won the NJ Poetry Slam, NY Poetry Slam, Arizona Poetry Slam, and represented Arizona in the National Poetry Slam competition. Although Apollo had success with slams, he put the competitive mic down to get more involved in the community, by performing at retirement homes, homeless shelters, and other community based projects. Apollo gained popularity in the poetry community as he dug deeper into the intensity of his performances. The same emotions that scared him when he first opened up to them are now the foundation to what he does when he performs. He is often channeling his words from a higher source and has had numerous experiences where he has no human memory of what he just did at the end of his performance. He allows the spirit to channel through his body and brings forth a message that takes the crowd on a deeper spiritual journey. The ink has become his blood. The paper has become his skin. He now tattoos his soul from the inside out with the goal to uplift humanity through words.
