Omar Apollo is on the cover of King King Magazine‘s latest issue and he got very intimate for the photo shoot.
The 26-year-old Grammy-nominated singer stripped down and went shirtless while posing in a bed for the new cover story, which is available now on the mag’s website.
The magazine said about the shoot, “Grammy award nominee singer Omar Apollo is a great example of the cultural blender which is the USA – he was born to Mexican parents, and grew up in Indiana. His musical heritage has many roots and his appeal global. Our photoshoot references the strength of Tom of Finland, the complexity of Fassbinder, both expertly blended in the United States. A mix of hot cool and longing filtered and enhanced by the artist’s lens. After all leather is a second skin, a protection, communicating both keep your distance and come hither. We’re all voyeurs, watching him change outfits – material masculinity in every sensual and consensual sense. Gay iconography repurposed for the modern male gaze.”
The shoot was photographed by Nabil and styled by Jordan Boothe, with grooming by Anna Bernabe.
