Meet Apollo, an Artist DJ who brings 16 years of professional experience and over 1,500 events to every celebration he touches. From DJing at the Super Bowl to orchestrating celebrity weddings in Vegas, Apollo’s resume reads like a highlight reel of entertainment excellence. But what truly sets him apart isn’t the star-studded events he’s headlined – it’s his God-given talent for MC work and his unwavering commitment to making every client feel like family.
“My greatest talent as a DJ isn’t musical at all,” Apollo shares with characteristic honesty. “It’s my MC work – my ability to set the tone early and give each event the excitement and engagement it deserves.” His personality allows him to calibrate the perfect energy for each moment, from the tender ceremony announcements to the explosive dance floor celebrations, all while maintaining seamless transitions that keep the night flowing like magic.
Whether he’s channeling the triumph energy of Wu-Tang Clan or reading a room that needs something completely different, Apollo’s 16 years of experience shine through in his intuitive crowd connection. When he’s not behind the booth creating unforgettable moments, this self-proclaimed “adrenaline junkie” can be found skydiving, riding sport bikes, or indulging his nerdy side by collecting Magic The Gathering cards. “The thrill and adrenaline rush keeps me coming back for more,” he laughs, “and that same energy translates directly into every event I host.”
How did you come to be a part of elevate?
I have seen Elevate Entertainment through the years and have seen the level of customer service and expertise they have offered to clients. This aligned with what I was trying to achieve as a professional DJ and Master of Ceremonies. Then I saw a Facebook ad for Elevate looking for DJs! I jumped right on that opportunity and got the ball rolling! After a few meetings with Broc, I knew this was a great fit and we would be working toward the same goal: to provide clients with an unforgettable event! After all my interactions with Elevate, I am all in and excited to offer up my experience and expertise, to help redefine what it means to be a professional entertainer!
Why do you love event hosting?
After 16 years and 1500+ events, I love being able to offer up that level of experience and all I have seen and done to each client I am privileged to serve! The excitement and the sheer rush of being given the reins to take each event to that next level is one reason I love what I do. The fundamental reason I love event hosting is being able to share my passion with others and, at the end of the event, receive the love and gratitude from my clients and guests that I am blessed to be able to serve!
What is a hobby you’re truly passionate about?
I am a bit of an adrenaline junkie… From skydiving to riding sport bikes, the thrill and adrenaline rush keeps me coming back for more! Believe it or not, I also like collecting MTG (Magic The Gathering) cards. Yes… I am a nerd at heart.
What was one of the most inspiring moments for you?
It is hard to choose just one moment. The big events – DJing at the Super Bowl or a celebrity Vegas wedding – would be close to the top! Events like these keep that spark alive and push me to be the best I can be! In reality, my inspiration comes from my clients. Getting to be a part of what I would consider to be the biggest day of someone’s life inspires me to give everything I have! That inspiration turns to love for not only what I am able to do through my experiences as a professional DJ, but that love is directed solely toward my clients, whom I will soon call family! My clients inspire me to give my everything to their event and make sure it is the best day ever!!!
What do you like most about working at elevate?
