FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS(FAQ):
1. Are you the same APOLLO STAAR that I used to see on flyers and at clubs DJing all over Hollywood in the late 90s and 2000s?
-Yes, that’s me, the same Apollo Staar. Back then I was painting a bit but mostly doing photography at my Hollywood studio & gallery(known as Ultrastar Studio) on Santa Monica Blvd(at Cole st.), but also had an insane nightlife schedule as a nightclub photographer, plus doing VIP/Guest List relations, and as a rock ’n’ roll DJ 5 nights a week for a bunch of Hollywood nightclubs. These included BANG!, Beat It, Club Makeup, Pretty Ugly Club, Shampoo, ‘Seventeen’ at Goldfingers, Burgundy Room, the Viper Room, tons of other spots, and my own crazy monthly theme party called SUPERSTARR at the infamous Martini Lounge(El Centro and Melrose), which is now condos. Seemed like life back then was one big never-ending movie premiere.
2. Do you always only wear black and white striped clothing?
-Yup, I do. I guess you could say those are my signature colours. I choose to wear only black & white so I don’t compete with any colour. It also symbolizes the duality of life, the Yin and the Yang one could say; there’s two sides to everything, they’re opposite but interconnected, mutually perpetuating forces. Plus an homage to jailbirds everywhere.
