Recalling whether there was ever a doubt in his mind that he would be a musician, he said, \u201cFor me, it was never a question of what I would do; it was only a question of how I would do it. Now that last part took a little time\u2026\u201d. After years of playing worldwide with bands in the \u201clowest of the lowdown clubs,\u201d he\u2019s now performing in prestigious venues and for high-end private events. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The band&#8217;s performances are a captivating blend of modern pop and classic jazz, a sound that is truly their own. Regarding the band\u2019s unique sound, James said, \u201c&#8230;I\u2019ve always had a love for the kind of music we play, but developing our sound was something I tried, tested, tweaked, and really honed.\u201d With a unique sound, it can sometimes be a challenge to appeal to a large audience, but James understands how to adjust to an audience without compromising his craft, \u201cWe don\u2019t play anything we don\u2019t love, but there are a few things that I keep in the rehearsal room because I think I might be the only one who loves \u2018em.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It\u2019s no secret that the music industry can be demanding, but James hasn\u2019t lost sight of what keeps his spirit alive and looking forward to the next gig: \u201cSome days, I think it\u2019s a face in the crowd, or a kind word, or thunderous applause, but really, it&#8217;s none of those things because we\u2019d still be out playing if none of them were there. We do what we do because there is an instinctual drive to create beauty. This is just the best way I know how.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:29px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.gigsalad.com\/theapollotrio\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"850\" height=\"477\" data-attachment-id=\"33958\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.gigsalad.com\/blog\/member-spotlight-meet-james-apollo\/apollo-trio\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.gigsalad.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Apollo-Trio.jpg?fit=850%2C477&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"850,477\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"Apollo-Trio\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.gigsalad.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Apollo-Trio.jpg?fit=850%2C477&amp;ssl=1\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.gigsalad.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Apollo-Trio.jpg?resize=850%2C477&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"James Apollo from the Apollo Trio for member spotlight \" class=\"wp-image-33958\" style=\"width:934px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.gigsalad.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Apollo-Trio.jpg?w=850&amp;ssl=1 850w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.gigsalad.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Apollo-Trio.jpg?resize=768%2C431&amp;ssl=1 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 850px) 100vw, 850px\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.gigsalad.com\/theapollotrio\">The Apollo Trio<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<div style=\"height:50px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-james-s-gigsalad-journey\">James&#8217;s GigSalad journey<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">James joined GigSalad in 2015 with The Apollo Trio and has steadily used the platform to land high-end gigs nationwide.
