Black Artist Spotlight: Christopher Apollo 🎵🦾

Hello my big music lover fans! Welcome to another installment of *Black Artist Spotlight*, the show where we talk to upcoming Black artists about their journeys into music and get exposure! 🎵 Today we have the great pleasure to talk to Mr. Christopher Apollo! 🦾 Christopher Apollo is a Detroit native that has more than three years of experience in music. His artistry is a culmination of alternative R&B, rap, hip-hop, rock, and Afrobeats. Last February, he created his first mini album entitled *MK ULTRA: CYBER BLUE* discussing his character Apollo the robot experiencing feelings and emotions on Earth. Listen as he discusses the process of the mini album, how Black music is more than the genres we are most known for, his volunteer work and so much more! 🤎 Stream Christopher Apollo on: Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/artist/2moHZzdh7bbSgeFKnoNMqo?si=BWP9QfbhTnqN-aTmd5N5Lg Apple Music: https://music.apple.com/us/artist/christopher-apollo/1755196700 Check out the music video for BLESSED\_BOY: https://youtu.be/3fSDSQB5fJo?si=RyB9vv9AeJIN5eHU  Christopher Apollo’s Socials: IG: https://www.instagram.com/adon1s.protocol/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@rbt13507 The Liberation of Black Music Podcast Socials: Email: liberationofblackmusicpod@gmail.com  Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/liberationofblackmusicpodcast/ YouTube: https://youtube.com/@theliberationofblackmusicpod?si=YrtjTKEHdCeD2oAi TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@liberationblackmusicpod?\t=ZP-90pVhZ7Ecdr&\r=1 Patreon:https://www.patreon.com/cw/LiberationofBlackMusicPodcast  Kevaun’s Socials: Email: kevaun.mcclo2@gmail.com  IG: https://www.instagram.com/kevaunthesunflower?igsh=dzIzcDFicHBldHlj TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@kevaunthesunflower?\t=ZP-90pVdR9stEU&\r=1 YouTube: https://youtube.com/@kevaunthesunflower?si=A\zR1EXUNndAsMo\ SoundCloud: https://on.soundcloud.com/YRhFbAx1ne2XMEu68 Twitch: https://m.twitch.tv/kevaunthesunflower/home If you want to support the show monetarily: Cashapp: https://cash.app/$liberationofblkmupod Timestamps 0:01 *BLESSED\_BOY* (from *MK ULTRA: CYBER BLUE*, 2025) 3:25 Christopher Apollo Welcomes You to the Show 3:38 *The Liberation of Black Music Podcast* Intro 4:17 Quick Recap 5:25 Christopher Apollo Introduction 7:13 How Christopher Apollo Got His Name 11:22 The Origins of Christopher Apollo 14:25 Apollo’s First Exposure to Music 18:20 What Made Apollo Contribute to Music 20:03 Apollo’s First Song 22:35 A Day in the Studio for Apollo 26:26 Apollo’s Songwriting Process 28:10 The Moment Apollo Wants to Release a Song 30:19 The Process of the Mini Album *MK ULTRA: CYBER BLUE* 34:31 The Inspiration Behind *BLESSED\_BOY* 37:04 The Inspiration Behind *OXYGEN* 40:45 The Inspiration Behind *ROBOTIC\_DEMEANOR* 44:21 The Inspiration Behind *BALLERINO* 49:08 The Inspiration Behind *CHROMA* 50:29 Christopher Apollo Tells You to Listen to CHROMA 50:33 CHROMA (Single, 2025) 54:00 Apollo’s Favorite Songs 57:07 Apollo Describes His Music in One Word 1:00:39 Apollo’s First Performance  1:06:34 Apollo’s Pros and Cons of His Musical Journey 1:14:41 How Apollo Motivates Himself to Keep Making Music 1:22:51 Apollo’s Milestones 1:26:40 A Message to Lil Christopher Apollo 1:27:26 The Legacy Apollo Wants to Leave Behind 1:29:09 Apollo’s Upcoming Projects 1:30:26 The Inspiration Behind LSD 1:31:24 Christopher Apollo Tells You to Listen to His Latest Single, LSD 1:31:30 LSD (Single, 2025) 1:35:05 This or That?
