Thousand Miles
This number is about pure joy, love, and radical acceptance of self. The song may be silly by nostalgic association, but the emotions portrayed are genuine. Apollo just wants to spread some love!

No Intention
No Intention is a piece exploring sensuality and texture to engage the audience on more than a singular level of sight. Apollo wants you to FEEL the piece, and not just see it. Also, they just like being fluffy.

Singing Acts
Apollo can also be booked to sing at your event! They generally focus on musical theatre repertoire for Baritone/Bari-Tenor voices. A list of preferred songs which have already been prepared can be provided upon request. If a specific song or style is requested not in Apollo’s current repertoire, at least 2 weeks notice is required, and if transposition is needed, or they must procure sheet music or a backing track, 3 weeks notice is required.
I’m Not Afraid Of Anything
Apollo’s go-to song, “I’m Not Afraid of Anything” from Jason Robert Brown’s Songs for a New World is repurposed to be about how queer love takes courage.
