Rooted in hip-hop but shaped by years spent living and creating across multiple cities and cultures, APXO's work expands beyond music into acting, modeling, fashion, brand campaigns, songwriting and creative direction.

Read the medium bio
APXO is a Canadian multidisciplinary artist, songwriter and entertainer born in Montreal and shaped through years spent living and creating across Toronto, Cologne, Zurich and Mexico City.
His musical foundation comes from hip-hop and boom-bap, but his sound stretches far beyond one genre — balancing lyricism with melody and drawing inspiration from soul, gospel, jazz, blues, electronic music and other influences.
Before releasing music professionally, APXO developed a foundation in dance, performance and entertainment environments, experience that later shaped his live presence and creative approach.
His career has grown independently across music, live performance, songwriting, acting, modeling, fashion, brand work and creative collaboration.
APXO continues to build internationally between Canada and Europe while developing new music, commercial projects, live opportunities and multidisciplinary creative work.
