Education
There is no reliable information available about Apollo’s current schooling. He’s still young so it’s not clear yet what kind of studies he’s interested in.
Gwen attended Loara High School, matriculating in 1987, following which she enrolled at Fullerton College for less than a semester. Subsequently, she continued her education at California State University, Fullerton, ultimately opting to discontinue her studies in 1987 to pursue a career in music.
All that is known about Gavin’s education is that he attended the independent Westminster School.
Career
Apollo is still very young so has no career to speak of.
Gwen started her musical career by contributing her impressive voice to her brother’s band, No Doubt. The band secured a record deal in 1991, signing with Interscope Records, navigating challenges as the grunge music wave was far more popular, eclipsing their ska-pop sound. In a strategic move, the band independently released “The Beacon Street Collection” in 1995.
The turning point for No Doubt came with the release of “Tragic Kingdom.”
