Omar Apollo, Indiana's sensational soul/pop artist is bringing his signature sounds to the Paradise Rock Club!
Omar Apollo (birth name Omar Velasco) was born in Hobart (Indiana) and is a singer, songwriter, and guitarist. He began his musical journey at the age of 12 when his parents gifted him a guitar. He used YouTube instructional videos to learn it and it wasn't long before he was recording his own songs. His musical style is best described as a blend of retro soul (a genre that deliberately plays with the listener’s sense of time and era by crafting music that replicates the production style of vintage soul; in some cases, enough so that one may not have a sense of when the recording was actually made), indie pop (a sub genre of alternative/indie rock originating in the United Kingdom in the late 1970s and differing from indie rock to the extent that it’s more melodic, less abrasive, and relatively angst free), alternative rock (a style of rock music that emerged from the independent music underground of the 1980s and became widely popular in the 1990s), and contemporary R&B; (a genre that combines elements of rhythm and blues, soul, funk, pop, hip hop, and dance). He's had a stellar career with 2 extended plays and 1 studio album.
