Work

Beyond the music.

Music is the core. APXO's work also extends across live performance, songwriting, acting, fashion and creative direction. Different disciplines. Same identity.

Ways to work together

Six ways in.

Each one leads to the right inquiry, with only the relevant questions.

  • Music

    Records and features

    Original releases, guest verses and collaborations. Rooted in hip-hop, written with equal weight on lyricism and melody.

  • Live

    Live performance

    Festivals, clubs, private and corporate events. Full records, crowd interaction, freestyles and stripped-back moments. Canada, Europe and international.

  • Songwriting

    Songwriting and custom music

    Writing for other artists, toplines, and original music written for a brief — including custom pieces and sync-ready material.

  • Acting

    Acting and commercial

    Commercials, short films and branded storytelling. The instinct behind live performance translated to camera: emotion, timing and presence.

  • Fashion

    Fashion and modeling

    Campaigns, lookbooks, editorial and product shoots. Fashion has always been part of how each APXO chapter is presented.

  • Creative direction

    Concept and visual direction

    Concepts, campaign and visual direction for projects that need the idea rather than the performer. Built from years of independent, hands-on work.

Proof

Selected work

Public work only. Unreleased commercial and writing projects stay private until the partners announce them.

Out The Shade jumpsuit

Created especially for APXO's Out The Shade era, this one-of-one jumpsuit was designed and personally hand-painted by Mack of XCYR. Every illustration and detail was applied by hand, incorporating the identities of both APXO and XCYR into the finished piece. The jumpsuit was originally created for a music video planned in Los Angeles that ultimately remained unreleased. APXO later wore the piece during the official Out The Shade release party, making it part of the project's visual history.
