Apollo 3 is a German band consisting of three members – Henry Horn (born 1997), Marvin Schlatter (born 1996) and Dario Flick (born 1997).

## History
### 2006–2009: Early years and debut album

The members all come from Cologne and already played together at the age of nine. They were in the same form in school for three years. When they turned ten, their class teacher noticed their musical talent and made contact to the songwriter and music producer Niko Floss. Their debut album Apollo 3 was published on 8 May 2009 through the major label Sony Music Entertainment and included the single "Superhelden", which was used as theme melody in the film The Crocodiles [de].
At the time of the publication, the band members were 11 (Henry) and 12 (Marvin and Dario) years old. For the song "Superhelden", a music video was made, which was played in cinemas. The single reached number 35 in the German charts; the album reached number 33. On 19 June 2009, the second single release, "Startschuss", was published, which reached number 84 in the German charts.

### 2010: Second album 2010 and contributing in a cinema film

On 12 March 2010, the second album, 2010, was released, which included next to ten old songs from the previous album five new ones. Two of those were published as singles. The single "Chaos" was released on 9 April 2010 and "Unverwundbar" on 13 August 2010. In the film Devil's Kickers [de] based on Frauke Nahrgang's books and audiobooks, the band members all played a role. Henry played the main character Moritz, while Marvin and Dario played the minor roles Shadow and Alex. The theme melody was "Diabolisch" from their album.

### 2011: Theme melody for a cinema film

As a theme melody for the film Löwenzahn – Das Kinoabenteuer the song "Überflieger" was released, which was also published as a single on 6 May 2011. The single "Adrenalin" from the first album was also used.

### 2012–2013: Third album Feier dein Leben

In 2012 the songs "Limit" and "Wir sehn uns dann am Meer" were performed in concerts as forerunners for the next album. Latter was published in the summer of 2013 as a single, in a version without Marvin singing. On 13 September another forerunner was published as a single "Feier Dein Leben", again without Marvin singing. In the same month, on 27 September 2013, the album "Feier Dein Leben" was published. The album not only has differences in the style of music to the previous albums, but also in the voice of Henry. Also Marvin only sings in one of 13 songs. In September 2013 RTL2 Berlin – Tag & Nacht [de] made the second single extraction from their 2013 album "Feier Dein Leben" to their campaign song.
