New Orleans natives Apollo & Imari are a brother-and-sister R&B/soul duet whose music is rooted in the resilience of their city. As young children, they survived the devastation of Hurricane Katrina, huddling together with their family as floodwaters rose around their home in the Lower Ninth Ward. In those dark, uncertain days, music became their lifeline. That experience of loss, survival, and hope forever shaped their sound. Their powerful ballad “High Water” is both a personal reflection of that night and a soaring anthem of strength, faith, and moving forward. With lush harmonies, cinematic soul, and deep emotional storytelling, Apollo & Imari turn personal pain into universal beauty, proving that even after the storm, the music — and the spirit of New Orleans — lives on.
