Jonni Apollo

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.

Longtime Santa Clarita resident Jonni Apollo remembers his introduction to music like it was yesterday.
“When I was 5 years old, I was put behind my Uncle Louie’s drum set, and I still distinctly have that memory,” Apollo said. “I remember sitting there beating it.”
By 12 years old, Apollo had his own drum set, and by 13, he had joined his first band.
“It was a punk rock band,” he added. “I was playing with 18- and 19-year-olds, keeping up with them. So I was feeling good about myself, and from then on, I just knew I wanted to do music. How seriously, I didn’t know. I just knew that if I could do this for the rest of my life, I would.”

From there, Apollo spent a couple of years breaking into the rap battle scene before taking his first hiatus from music.

“The first hiatus I took was unwanted,” he said. “When I was younger, I was heavily addicted to drugs, so I had to go through rehab. I was going through a lot of things, where it pulled me back from what I truly loved, and even thinking about it now I’m getting teary-eyed because leaving music killed me.”

Even so, Apollo pushed through, continuing to perform and make music following his recovery.

“I would reach out to artists and would collaborate with artists all over the world,” he added. “I had my very first catalog on Bandcamp. That was before anyone could get on Spotify.”

While his music was starting to gain some traction, Apollo said the fame began getting to his head.

“I was making decent money — not a lot — but I was paying my portion of the bills off of music, and I got pigheaded,” he said. “I was really egotistical though I didn’t mean to be. I was just young making money. … Then, in the middle of me about to blow to the next level, I just kind of lost it.”


Another hiatus came more recently, when Apollo took a year and a half off of music. “I was going through a really bad breakup, I was depressed and I was falling off the bandwagon.”

It was as if the universe was setting him straight, and once again, he was able to push through.

“But during that time, I didn’t know that I was rebranding myself as an artist,” he said.

Discovering Greek mythology, it was then that the name Jonni Apollo was born.

“Apollo was a poet,” he said. “He was known for his music and just being a really outgoing gentleman, and I was like, ‘That’s me.’ So I decided to align my musical experience with Apollo.”

For a month straight, Apollo studied Greek, dedicating a few hours each day to learning the language, the culture and delving deeper into the mythology.

“I learned Greek because I wanted to really incorporate the whole Greek scene into my music,” he added.

It was that love for poetry that Apollo’s younger sister Kristal Garcia saw as the beginnings of his creative side beginning to show through as they grew up.

“He would write stuff for the family or for my mom for Mother’s Day, and from what I remember, all of it sounded pretty good,” Garcia said.

Later on, when Apollo began to pursue music, Garcia said she knew it would be a good fit for him.

“When he started getting serious about music, I thought this is probably the best path for him because he loves it so much,” she said. “I could tell he’s really serious about it, and he’s put so much of his time and effort into music and pursuing it any way that he can.”

Through it all, Garcia, who’s younger by seven years, has seen Apollo’s struggles to get to where he is.

“It’s definitely been a long journey, and especially since I’ve been back home from college, I’ve seen a little bit more firsthand … how it’s playing out for him,” she added. “Seeing him from where he started to where he is now, he’s made so much progress, and I can definitely see him doing this for the rest of his life.”

Though it was hard to regain his progress in the industry, Apollo came in with a resolve to make it work, recently releasing a single titled “Chains from Apollo” before starting his own record label. “That’s been the biggest blessing.”

Now, he’s currently working on his third album, with the hopes of inspiring others with his lyrics.

“I want people to relate to my music because it’s not just a cool beat or a cool song,” Apollo said. “If you listen to my lyrics, I’m speaking about some deep things.”

For Apollo, music is a place where he can actually communicate with his audience.

“I want people to know that they’re not alone,” he added. “I just want people to know that my music is a place that no matter where they’re at, I’m there for them" - Chains From Apollo
