Managed by the renowned independent A&amp;R and music media personality Peepthekicks, Apostoli is deeply embedded in the underground music scene. He’s caught the eye of artists and industry figures alike. As a result, he’s become a staple at concerts in the GTA, having already shared the stage with the likes of <a href="spotify:artist:63ELR8SMfqu8EH9eXqCt9j" data-name="Slump6s">Slump6s</a>, <a href="spotify:artist:21CvpOUKeH1tHA9PN8wJaQ" data-name="Katozai">Katozai</a>, <a href="spotify:artist:5U3dpvIh1iJOHgRWS0nmry" data-name="Eli Juggz">Eli Juggz</a>, <a href="spotify:artist:76XW9mOApt8NO24u2Yqzl1" data-name="Gunnr">Gunnr</a>, <a href="spotify:artist:0bZ9jANLkwEFVcSnHnwrpb" data-name="UnoTheActivist">UnoTheActivist</a>, <a href="spotify:artist:392I9I5QMSyoA0FmI5pVfx" data-name="Yung Tory">Yung Tory</a>, &amp; <a href="spotify:artist:0gCGZZ1Ibo5QsOnll977PD" data-name="KILLY">KILLY</a>.

He&#39;s prominent member of Peepthekicks&#39; collective <a href="spotify:artist:7eseAT9p0tiuUMTDhHEzl2" data-name="Music&#39;s Most Wanted">Music&#39;s Most Wanted</a>, which includes <a href="spotify:artist:3XL3rwMLXI6yonSBnDwMon" data-name="TrillNagi">TrillNagi</a>, <a href="spotify:artist:203HgjtLXja2ONAPdKFuSj" data-name="Drago">Drago</a>, and <a href="spotify:artist:1DfGPzH24uoINrKHgSAC3G" data-name="Way5">Way5</a>, and has a history of impressive collaborations with artists such as <a href="spotify:artist:7gUzdJiUbJWKf81FsUWes3" data-name="sgpwes">sgpwes</a>, <a href="spotify:artist:0qJT0SswFi8QQbibca7Lni" data-name="Mazelfyre">Mazelfyre</a> and the rising Toronto star <a href="spotify:artist:6pL2YwV6bUmB8wxbfkvUoa" data-name="Kwazii">Kwazii</a>.

Somehow, Apostoli still manages to work in the pursuit of degrees in both Computer Science &amp; Business Administration on top of his music career–his debut EP <a href="spotify:album:64vWP8EOqizH5KlBysF1fH" data-name="ANAGNORISIS">ANAGNORISIS</a> was released on the same day as his final exam in statistics–a lifestyle which starkly contrasts the expectations of artists in his niche.

One thing is clear for those who follow underground music: either you’re a fan of Apostoli yourself, or someone you’re a fan of is.
