Appleby [apple-bee] is a quiet creative from the Midwest who started releasing music in 2014. Drawing inspiration from The Weeknd, he kept his identity a secret. In 2015, Appleby had his first breakthrough soundcloud song "Bitter Boy" peak at #2 on the Billboard Emerging Artists Chart. In 2016, he released his first song on Spotify called "Castles" which climbed to #4 on the global viral charts. 

After two years of searching for a sound to call his own, he was introduced to Coldplay, who became his creative North Star. He taught himself to sing for the first time through listening to their album Parachutes on loop. In the Summer of 2018, Appleby released his EP "Happiness." Two songs from that project landed on New Music Friday and by the end of the year, he had songs in workout apps, H&M, an indie movie starring Jon Heder (Napoleon Dynamite), and TV shows like Grownish (ABC) and Legacies (CW). Sticking with his Summer tradition he released another successful EP titled While You Were Sleeping. His breakout single from the project "Enough" was spun on SiriusXM 400+ times and he was given the opportunity to put together a mix for SiriusXM Chill. Appleby is currently working on a forthcoming project set to be released in 2024.
