Many Blessings to the Reader of This Letter:

Do you or have you ever had someone in your life who inspires you day after day?  Someone who is utterly selfless, devoted to bettering mankind, passionate about life and all that is in it? Someone who makes you want to be a better person, who makes you want to reflect their light; someone who achieves the highest good through their actions, words, and intentions. A person who brightens a room by walking in it, and is spoken highly of long after he has left. This person is Apollo Poetry, a person who has changed not only my life more than he will ever know, but thousands and thousands of others through his divine words of poetry. Those who hear his words are transformed forever, and the butterfly effect thereafter is infinite. When Apollo performs, everyone in the room suddenly halts and becomes mesmerized by his presence. He channels not only his awe inspiring words, but his performances just the same. He commands the stage with no inhibitions; his facial expressions and gestures are tear jerking and powerful beyond measure.
Apollo is on a spiritual path of not only self-enlightenment, but he is also here on a very divine path, a mission to reawaken human consciousness through his poetry.
His words feed and heal the soul. He vibrates on the highest frequency of love and gratitude and spreads these vibrations wherever he goes. He is completely connected with nature, compassionate towards humankind and animals alike, and is absolutely present in every moment of every day.
Apollo is the most determined, persistent, hard-working individual I have ever known. When life knocks him down, as it has done time and time again, he simply gets right back up and continues his faith that everything in life is perfect, and if one door is shut in front of him, it is because a bigger opportunity is waiting for him right around the corner. Apollo sees no obstacles, he sees only challenges, and he will not stop until he has come out on top. He gives one hundred percent in everything he does, and pours his heart and soul into his work. 
Apollo has taught me about unconditional love, life, and how to follow my heart. He teaches us to make choices based on love rather than fear. He teaches us to embrace one another's differences, and to realize we are all one and we come from the same source. He teaches to build rather than destroy, love rather than hate, trust rather than fear, to see beauty in everyone and everything, and to live life to its fullest every day.
Equally as big as Apollo's heart are his dreams. He wishes to travel and make connections with as many people as he can, and to spread his words wherever he goes. He has seen the effect his poetry has had over the years on people, from inspiring people to achieve their highest potential,  to literally saving lives of those who wanted to take desperate measures. Apollo has devoted much of his time to performing at places where he is needed the most, from nursing homes to homeless shelters. He has had many accomplishments throughout the years and his talents have been recognized time and time again, at various venues and in many contests.
I strongly urge you to support and work with this amazing, talented man and assure you that your time will be well worth it. Apollo is more deserving than anyone I know. He strongly believes in the power of manifestation, and I urge you to help him create his dreams into reality. Not only does he deserve for his dreams to come true, but the world deserves to hear his words. Words like, "You don't give love in order to get love, you give love in order to BECOME love." Everytime he picks up the mircophone, he speaks for all of the silenced voices. He does what he loves and he spreads love doing it. Apollo wants to leave the world a better place. As he states, "Let us create poetry that inspires us to change the world. Let each one of our words turn into a sledgehammer that bash the bricks that create the Berlin wall inside of our hearts."
Your support is greatly needed and appreciated. Please help a poet help others. Please help the world rejoice in love and unity, and vibrate in the highest frequency. Namaste

To whom it may concern, 

I have known Apollo for approximately a year now, and there are few people I’ve ever met with his level of talent, intelligence and savvy. 

I am an author of a popular book series (The Wealthy Soul ™ series) and have worked with Apollo on several projects, including on a major website I’m launching.

Apollo is extraordinarily bright and hardworking, and is an absolute pleasure to work with. Please feel free to call if I can share anything further with you. 

Warmest regards,

Comments/Your experience with Apollo: I have never met Apollo in person, though our spirits have often met in our wanderings. I first saw him on a hip hop competition with Sway and Tech. Needless to say, he stood out. haha. As I listened to him speak about injustice, inequality, spirituality, and even the degenerating state of agriculture, I was drawn to him. The way he carried himself was what caught me. He didn't have that swagger that we often admire in hip hop/urban poets, (though I'm sure you have it Apollo, don't be offended. hah.). That day something more important than swagger and self-promotion was present: a sadness, a loneliness, a desperation, a hope, an honesty. Instantly, a scripture popped into my head, "I am a voice crying out in the wilderness." I just wanted to talk to him, let him know, or remind him, that he had brothers and sisters in the world, people who believed his words and believed in him. So, I emailed him, and he responded quite promptly. We shared joy and wisdom and have been friends ever since.

Be strong on your path, my brother. Also, be weak. Meet each moment with the center of yourself, which is God.

All spiritual talk aside, we love you Apollo, you are doing good.

Your friend,

Dave

Comments/Your experience with Apollo: I participated in a poetry reading/slam with Apollo on June 21, 2009, in Salem, Oregon. As an "academic" poet--MFA, full time college instructor, with a book published, I know there is a lot of snobbery in the poetry world between spoken word/performance poets and written word poets (or the "stage" and "page.") After meeting Apollo and hearing his phenomenal work, I really, really want to encourage academics to let this go and invite Apollo to your schools and workshops. He'll bring a lot of energy to your classes that more traditional poets might not. I'd love to see him be able to do a tour of college and university campuses around the country.

Also, Apollo travels primarily by couch-surfing, and I would completely vouch for him. I consider him to be a completely trustworthy, respectful, and brilliant person, and would appreciate it if anyone would be able to lend a couch.

Best,

Comments/Your experience with Apollo: I have known Sevan (aka Apollo) my entire life - literally. He is my little brother and I feel so blessed to have such a unique and wonderful person in my life. I see the way people are drawn to him when he speaks and when he performs because he is so real. The true passion he has for life comes out when he writes. I always knew he was very different and meant to inspire people. I am so proud of him and will always love him with all my heart.

Your big sis!
Aline

In his eyes I saw a secret, a strength that I once knew. I started searching deeper, and I saw myself shine through.
His words were like a stream of fire that spoke without a name. I witnessed love that moved and breathed, he was a painting in a frame. Inspiration took on flesh as my eyes began to see, the manifestation of a dream that has lived inside of me. And I'm hungry for this knowledge and this power that he knows, his source of strength is my inspiration, he speaks and then it grows. Tell me beautiful angel, about this light that you still shine. Colors red, and blue, and green, they are woven inner twined. Will you breathe so I can see what it's like to live, will you love so that I can know what I too can give? Watching your life is like seeing a long lost friend through a window, laughing and smiling on the outside looking in, wondering if you will look up and see me from within. I don't know why I am being pulled toward your energy. I feel it moving deep inside, a calling from within me. It's like I'm supposed to do something or to figure something out. The way that I feel towards you is love without a doubt.
