Omar Apolo appears on the cover of King King MagazineThe last number and it became very intimate for the photo shoot.
The Grammy-nominated singer, 26, stripped down and went shirtless while posing on a bed for the new cover, which is available now on the magazine’s website.
The magazine said of the session: “Grammy-nominated singer Omar Apollo is a great example of the cultural mix that is the United States: he was born to Mexican parents and grew up in Indiana. His musical heritage has many roots and his global appeal. Our photo shoot references the strength of Tom of Finland and the complexity of Fassbinder, both expertly combined in the United States. A mix of warmth, freshness and longing filtered and enhanced by the artist’s lens. At the end of the day, leather is a second skin, a protection, which communicates both keep your distance and come here. We are all voyeurs, watching him change clothes: material masculinity in every sensual and consensual sense. “Gay iconography repurposed for the modern male gaze.”
The session was photographed by Nabil and styled by Jordan Boothe, arranged by Anna Bernabe.
