| For Omar Apollo, longing is an art form-and hes mastered it. The young singer/songwriters aching, visceral musings on love and heartbreak have earned him connection with a devoted fanbase as well as industry-wide recognition, including a GRAMMY nomination for Best New Artist, two Latin GRAMMY nominations for Record of the Year and Best Alternative Song ("Te Olvidaste," with C. Tangana), Varietys Future Icon award, and most recently his first RIAA-certified platinum record for viral hit "Evergreen (You Didnt Deserve Me at All)"-which was also his Billboard Hot 100 debut. He ushers in his next chapter with a new EP, Live for Me, with some of his most personal writing to date, expressing themes he hasnt previously spoke about. Born in Hobart, Indiana, to parents who immigrated from Mexico, he often felt isolated as a minority in his hometown. As he draws on another year of life, love, and longing for his latest chapter, Apollos promise is limitless. |
