On June 4, OGR Torino will host the much-anticipated Italian debut of Omar Apollo, an American singer-songwriter of Mexican heritage known for his captivating blend of alternative-pop. With accolades from the fashion world and a prominent presence in the queer community, Apollo has garnered widespread acclaim and captivated audiences worldwide.

This exciting event marks a significant addition to the lineup of OGR Sonic City, a collaborative effort between OGR Torino and Sonic Park, offering a sneak peek into the vibrant energy of the upcoming summer festival at the Historic Garden of the Palazzina di Caccia di Stupinigi.

Nominated for two Latin Grammys in 2022 and recognized as Best New Artist at the 2023 Grammys, Apollo stands out as one of the most compelling artists on the contemporary music scene. His unique fusion of R&B and indie-rock, characterized by its super lo-fi and DIY aesthetic, has garnered widespread acclaim and a dedicated following as evidenced by the millions of streams on Spotify, and his track Evergreen emerging as a viral sensation on TikTok.

Apollo's success has transcended boundaries, marked by sold-out tours and electrifying festival performances. From Coachella to upcoming stops at prestigious events like Primavera Sound in Barcelona, the Sol Blume Festival in Sacramento, and Lollapalooza Brasil in São Paulo,

Beyond music, Apollo's artistic versatility extends to the realm of fashion, exemplified by his collaboration with Loewe. In a striking campaign alongside Golden Globe-nominated actor Jamie Dornan, in the midst of a performance: illuminated by light bulbs, a chrome microphone in his fist, as he makes his entrance into a glittering hall.

As a proud member of the queer community, Omar Apollo uses his voice and creativity to spark inspiration and drive positive change. In his EP Live For Me, he courageously shares his personal narrative, baring his soul with raw emotion. The captivating cover art, crafted by acclaimed New York queer artist Doron Langberg, portrays Apollo without veils as he gently caresses his chest amidst a palette of warm, autumnal hues.

A self-taught guitarist, Omar Apollo draws inspiration from classic soul music, infusing it with elements of R&B and a contemporary Gen Z sound. His eclectic style earned him praise from all backgrounds, including Barack Obama, who has featured him on his Spotify playlist.
