MINUS GRAVITY

Imagine a world where style and music perfectly collide...now look at Minus Gravity to make that a reality. The fashion-forward, Los Angeles-based trio is made up of Mic Apollo, Sir Blaze, and Rob Will, who come together to create hard-hitting hip-hop, R&B, and pop tunes. Each member has something unique to offer to the group, whether it’s Apollo’s producer skills, Blaze’s southern swag, or Rob’s soulful crooning. But the one common thread is that they always stay true to themselves, painted nails and all. That’s part of the reason why their original single “90’s Babies” went viral, and they ended up signing with Capitol Records, home to artists such as 5 Seconds of Summer, Katy Perry, and Niall Horan. Since signing to the label, Minus Gravity has released another hit song called “Options,” featuring boundless energy and a strong, high-pitched hook. As of now, the trio is preparing to drop their debut EP, and are working on a song with “Blurred Lines” singer Robin Thicke. No one can say what the future holds for Minus Gravity, but one thing’s for sure: they’ll maintain their trendsetter status wherever they go.

How did the band initially form?


We met ten years ago in San Antonio, Texas, and been working on music together ever since. We moved to L.A. five years ago and went through so much on our journey.

How did the name “Minus Gravity” come to be?

Three years ago, our name became Minus Gravity, because it represents how nothing can hold us down.

What special quality do each of you bring to the group?

Blaze brings the energy, Rob brings the soul, and Apollo bring the alien.
What differentiates you from other boy bands?

We all started as solo artists, so it’s like we are three different ingredients combining perfectly for the best five-star entree.

How would you describe the style of your music?

Mood music—there is a song for every mood. Sad, happy, getting ready for a party, at the party...just everything.

How did you win over Capitol Records and get them to sign you to their label?

We feel like they’re the ones that won, haha. There were a few different labels that wanted us but Capitol just felt right and our whole team is dope.

How does it feel to be signed to a major label?

We don't think any different. We have the same hustle, if not more. We just became a lot more hungry. We want it more.

What inspired you to write one of your newer, popular songs, “Options?”

It was more energy driven. We were in the studio and freestyled it—it was fun. The idea for the song just came from thinking about fashion. You lay a few pairs of shoes out, a few watches...real bosses always have options.

What has the response from fans been like for your music?

They’re excited for what’s coming next and we’re even more excited. We can’t wait to share our new EP.

Is there a particular artist or group you dream of working with in the future?

Sade or Bono of U2.

What do you hope for the band to accomplish in the future?

We want to be the biggest group to ever exist. That’s our only goal.

Get to know Capitol Records’ newest group Minus Gravity.


Hailing from San Antonio, Texas, hip-hop trio Minus Gravity consists of Mic Apollo, Sir Blaze, and Rob Will. The three have been making music together since high school and moved LA three years ago to pursue music, around the same time the group renamed themselves “Minus Gravity.” Explaining that their music and name is used as a motivational tool, Minus Gravity describes their message, “nothing can hold you back or hold you down.” Check out their latest video Options out now and get to know group below!

The Knockturnal: How did the three of you first meet?

Mic Apollo: I met Blaze in middle school at 13. We were the only ones that did music and had CDs at the time and we came together since we were the only ones that did music. We started making music together then. We met Rob a few years later, he was like 13 doing Disney and Broadway stuff. He was a dancer and I was running a pro tools studio at 16, in the back of the same dance studio and they were like, “hey you gotta hear this kid sing.” Here we are now 10 plus years later.

The Knockturnal: When did Minus Gravity come together?

Mic Apollo: We changed our name to Minus Gravity about 3 years ago. When we got to LA our sound matured. We felt like it was time and had been through a lot. Minus Gravity – nothing can hold you down.

The Knockturnal: Can you describe your first Introduction to music?

Rob Will: I was raised on old school music like Stevie Wonder and the Commodores, so even up to a certain age I only knew older music. I was always on the church singing and doing plays and acting. It was 8th grade- I did the Grease musical and no one at the school could sing and the drama teacher grabbed me out of choir. They made me one of the main dudes. That opened up so many doors for me. It kind of made me really love it. Basically, I started doing that and from that same Grease production that’s how I got into the studio and met them. It was all because of the drama teacher.

Sir Blaze: I started writing in 6th grade and went on battle rapping. My mom was always singing playing reggae.The Knockturnal: You’ve got ballads and a balance between hip-hop instrumentals and melodies. Your group genre-bends a lot, how would you describe your sound?

Mic Apollo: we describe it as mood music.

Rob Will: Every mood we’re in we have something to listen to. We make music for people that are in different moods and even for ourselves.

The Knockturnal: Who would you note as some of your biggest influences?

Sir Blaze: Jay Z, T.I., Nelly, Busta Rhymes, Missy Elliot. I was heavily influenced in the 90s, that whole era right there. That energetic energy.

Rob Will: Mine would be like Stevie Wonder, Al Jarreau, The Spinners, like old soul.

Mic Apollo: Lil Wayne, when Lil Wayne came up I was like I want to be like this when I was kid. I love James Blake and as far as us, the only group I would compare us to is TLC.

The Knockturnal: Can you talk about your fashion as well? Do you style yourselves or plan your fits together?

Group: We get dressed in 30 minutes, we’ve lived out of suitcases for the last 5 years. We just got closets, we don’t try too hard, we just have fun with it.
The Knockturnal: Who are some of your influences?

Group: Alexander McQueen, Jeremy Scott

The Knockturnal: Did you enjoy fashion week? What were some of your favorite shows?

Group: We enjoyed the Teen Vogue show, The YSL show was dope.

The Knockturnal: What can fans expect to roll out in the near future?

Sir Blaze: We’ve got fashion collabs coming, we’ve just partnered with a brand called DKS, so we’ve got collabs comings and musically speaking we have t.v. shows in the works shoutout CAA.

The Knockturnal: What’s the next piece of content you’re dropping?

Sir Blaze: We might hit them with a single before the EP or we might just drop the whole EP. 7 tracks and the only feature on the EP is Robin Thicke.
