Rising hip-hop music artist Jonni Apollo is making an explosive comeback in the music industry with his recently released single titled Chains from Apollo. The 3-minute single is a powerful expression of Apollo’s life-altering battle with lies, cheating, depression, anxiety, and anger that almost cost him his precious life. With grit and a determination to tap into the best part of himself, Jonni finds the courage and strength to bounce back and shows the world that there is a way out of the chains of mental illness.
Chains from Apollo is Jonni Apollo’s story of breaking free from his dark past. By being transparent with the people around him about his personal struggles, it opened the door for his complete freedom. In the process of opening up about his mental health issues, Apollo was able to slowly regain what he once lost. Forced to quit the industry a year ago due to his dark, depressive episodes, Jonni is fortunate to have friends who never gave up on him and continued to believe that he can still make something good out of the worst experiences of his life.
His producer friend, Dead End Beats, reached out to Jonni, and what was supposed to be just a single gave rise to a full-length album that dissects the life of the artist and what he went through. Chains from Apollo is now slowly evolving to become a five-part audiobook that intends to reach out to individuals who also struggled with depression and anxiety. For each of Jonni’s unique experiences is a story that can help another person get past his pain and suffering. Jonni Apollo may have lost many friends and fans along the way, but this new season in his life is showing him who is truly loyal to him despite what he went through.
Jonni Apollo started his own label, CFA Records (Chains from Apollo Records), and with that, he is determined to create waves in the hip-hop scene and that he is here to stay.
With the single’s official launch last August 7, 2020, also came an official music video made available on YouTube. Fans of Jonni Apollo will see him with a different aura, one that has been freed from the chains of his mental health struggles. The music video is produced by Dead End Beats and directed by Octavio Mora. Mora also directed the film Nation of the Third Eye and is widely known as a prolific producer and visual artist.
Growing up in the greater LA area, Jonni Apollo was immersed in a diverse set of music but mostly gravitated toward hip-hop as a genre. He was later to discover that he had an innate talent to create on-the-spot multi-syllabic rhymes or simply break into song with his heavy bass tone. Later in life, he developed a unique style in writing lyrics that speak of his raw emotions, fears in life, and future aspirations at the same time. His originality makes him stand out from the rest of the aspiring artists in the industry. He makes sure that his lyrical content is relatable to his followers and will leave a lasting impression of his soulful and deep music style.
Jonni Apollo may have wallowed in hopelessness and a state of uncertainty for a season of his life, but it was the same phase that brought out the best in him both as a person and as an artist. At this point, Jonni is all about giving people music that they can turn to when they need inspiration and freedom from life’s greatest pains.
