Hello my big music lover fans! Welcome to another installment of Black Artist Spotlight, the show where we talk to upcoming Black artists about their journeys into music and get exposure! 🎵
Today we have the great pleasure to talk to Mr. Christopher Apollo! 🦾
Christopher Apollo is a Detroit native that has more than three years of experience in music. His artistry is a culmination of alternative R&B, rap, hip-hop, rock, and Afrobeats. Last February, he created his first mini album entitled MK ULTRA: CYBER BLUE discussing his character Apollo the robot experiencing feelings and emotions on Earth. Listen as he discusses the process of the mini album, how Black music is more than the genres we are most known for, his volunteer work and so much more! 🤎
