- Omar Apollo talks sleeping with his guitar, using RUclips to learn his vibrato, and finding kindred spirits in the growing Chicano pop scene
Omar Apollo is fresh. Beyond being a fresh face in the pop scene - and a heartthrob to boot - he’s taken a fresh approach at creating music. Perhaps it’s humility or self-deprecation when he claims he didn’t have any natural aptitude for music, but his passion to learn created an absolute phenom. He devoured RUclips tutorials to learn guitar, take singing lessons, and pick up production tips. Like many a young artist, his journey into pop stardom started by accident. The first song he released ended up on one of the biggest Spotify playlists. But the accident repeated itself and didn’t seem so accidental by the time he released his second song.
Now a multi-instrumentalist, vocalist, and producer, Omar’s fingerprints are all over every record he’s put out. He’s recently found comfort amongst peers in the burgeoning Chicano indie-pop scene. It’s full of like-minded utilitarian musicians, like Cuco and Inner Wave, who not only share the experience of navigating new found success in the industry, but the experience of growing up first generation Mexican-Americans.
Omar’s latest EP, Friends, is a wonderful glimpse into his artistic range and youthful pop presence. His voice is angelic, his writing is relatable, and his beats are danceable. Hear us talk about learning vibrato on RUclips to impress his dad, falling asleep with his guitar as a child, the fresh Chicano indie pop scene and more on “You Feel Me?” Remember to subscribe, and listen to the end for discount codes!

I found Omar via a Spotify playlist. The first song I ever heard was Erase and ever since I have fallen in love with his music, personality, and creativity! He is so different from anyone else I’ve heard. He was my Spotify artist of 2019 and I have 9 hours of listening time for him.... my favorite song was of course Erase.
