After appearing as an up-and-coming hip-hop artist on MTV’s True Life, Apollo Poetry found more fame and wealth than he could ever imagine. He got to perform with acts such as Pitbull and the Pussycat Dolls, and at venues like Madison Square Garden and the Billboard Awards. However, when the housing market came crashing down, so did all his investments. Back at square one, he rebuilt himself as an artist with a new kind of insight and a higher level of consciousness. In this interview, he talks about the spiritual experience that helped him turn his life around, how wealth affected his ego, and what he hopes to see in the world.
