Apollo Poetry is a spoken word artist who has chosen words as tools of inspiration to bridge the gap between our cultural divisions and unite us back into the realization that we are souls having a human experience.
Apollo Poetry was featured on MTV with over 10 million viewers, watching in a dozen different countries. In 2007, he became the first spoken word artist to perform at the Billboard Awards. Apollo's major appearances include 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, and the Arizona Poetry Slam. After over 15 victories at Mill's End, Apollo joined the Tempe Slam Team. After the first round, Apollo's team was ranked 4th out of 75 teams from around the country. Although Apollo had success with poetry slams, he put the slam 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.
