About Naethan Apollo

Naethan Apollo is a musical artist born and raised in small-town Iowa, known for his unique voice, delivery, and storytelling through a genre-bending blend of indie/alternative hip-hop, incorporating elements of rap, folk, rock, and spoken word. He began making music in 2016 and rose to prominence during the 2020 pandemic, gaining a significant following on platforms like TikTok and Instagram for his romantic songs and ability to build immersive fantasy worlds inspired by Dungeons & Dragons. His music often explores themes of love, self-discovery, overcoming adversity, and finding strength as an outsider, and he intentionally includes non-binary pronouns in his lyrics to make his songs more universal. His latest endeavors include the release of his ambitious concept album "Tales From Cazilor: Wyldflowers" on July 25, 2025, which is described as part concept record, part DIY musical, and part animated series in the making. This project further expands on his world-building and fantasy storytelling, with Apollo expressing a desire to eventually bridge this into his own animated series or movie. Recent singles in 2024 include "ANYTHING 4 U," "Autumn," "BACK IN MY BAG," "FAMOUS," "Cost of Living," and "6 Seconds," with "Death of a Profiteer" released in 2025. Naethan Apollo is actively touring, with a US tour in Fall 2025 and an upcoming Australian tour scheduled for 2026. He also engages with his fanbase through social media, boasting over 1.4 million followers on TikTok and over half a million monthly listeners on Spotify, and shares behind-the-scenes content on his YouTube channel, including breakdowns of his music videos.
