Desvelado Tour
OMAR APOLLO
with support from
After dropping out of college only 2 weeks in, Omar Apollo, a 20-year old, first generation Mexican-American singer from Indiana, began writing and recording his own mix of jazz, R&B, funk, alternative, soul, and pop music. His parents moved to the US to give their kids a better life and the opportunity to go to college; however, Omar always knew this route wasn't meant for him. He began playing guitar at 12 years old, but quit soon after because he got bored of only playing in church. At age 18, Omar began listening to new styles of music and fell in love with the guitar again. His biggest influences are Benny Sings, D'angelo, Los Panchos, John Mayer, Elliott Smith, Cuco Sánchez, Paul Simon, Gary Numan, and João Gilberto. Omar is going to release his debut EP this summer featuring songs in both English and Spanish.
~~~~~~~~
Omar Apollo is one of music's most exciting shape-shifters. Emerging on the scene in 2018 with his self-released EP Stereo, Omar has since released his 2019 EP Friends and his 2020 project Apolonio, which features the hit track "Want U Around" feat. Ruel and collaborations with Bootsy Collins, DJ Dahi, Albert Hammond, Jr., and more. Last year, Omar teamed up with Kali Uchis for the stand-alone single "Bad Life," which NPR described as "captivating."
Omar is gearing up to release his forthcoming debut album IVORY due April 8th and recently shared the lead single "Invincible" feat. Daniel Caesar.
Accompanying Omar on the tour is Tora-i. The UK-artist released her debut EP Cavalier in 2020 which features the hit track "Call Your Name" and garnered support from the likes of i-D, Dummy Mag, Complex, Trench, Self-Service Magazine, The FADER and Colors.

'If you haven't met him yet, get acquainted: Omar Apollo is the homemade musical prodigy serenading listeners with swift Spanglish lyrics sure to melt hearts. Taking over Soundcloud, then Spotify, then Apple Music, Apollo has high-speed Internet to thank for his millions of streams and wide-reaching fanbase. Producing beats and recording vocals out of his home in Indiana, the musician's success epitomizes the sort of democratization of media that the digital plane has granted to audiences and artists alike. The first generation Mexican-American artist represents a new generation of music.' -- Milk
