." In October, Apollo received a co-sign from Prince's estate, which selected him to be the first artist to perform at the late pop icon’s former home, Paisley Park.

In a deep purple suit that bared his chest, he gyrated across the stage."That was tight," Apollo recalls."We were there for a couple weeks and it felt like camp because I was just rehearsing there and getting ready for that show.

There were a few people, but I didn't have anybody in the Latino community doing that when I was a kid or growing up in high school.
