Apollo Mighty

Memphis-born R&B/Soul artist, Apollo Mighty, uses his music to express his many selves, embracing the extremes of his own personal ugliness and beauty — while also reflecting the world around him. 

He has worked extensively in the music scenes in Memphis and Chicago and his 2020 EP project Behavior amassed over 600k streams across platforms.

“Music was the first thing that I gave myself that gave itself back to me. There was just always something about the marriage of melody and emotion that captivated me. I can still remember jingles from when I was 3 because they had meaning to me. Discovering ways to create that relationship between word, sound, and emotion has always challenged and excited me. So much that I study it and am able to experiment. Music gives me a place to feel safe and free and playful. Creating music feels like alignment to me. It lifts me.”
