Mexican-American singer-songwriter Omar Apollo (born Omar Velasco in Indiana) debuted with the EPs Stereo (2018) and Friends (2019), produced by John Shanks, followed by the singles Frio (2019), Hit Me Up (2019) and Imagine U (2020), all produced by Kenny Beats. His first mixtape Apolonio (2020) contains Stayback, Kamikaze, Dos Uno Nueve and Want U Around, and introduced his queer persona.

Ivory (2022) contains the languid bossanova of Bad Life, the trite dance-soul of Go Away, the old-fashioned soul lament Evergreen and the trap-infected Tamagotchi, besides Invincible that shines for falsetto and syncopation.
