Danny Javier joined the group when they were in college. After they graduated in college, the other group members eventually leave the group to face their individual careers. Only three members, made up of Jim Paredes, Boboy Garovillo and Danny Javier, remain and continued performing.
During the span of their career, the group has been one of the primary adherent to the Original Pilipino Music or OPM music movement and have made several contributions for the said movement. The Apo is also involved in record production, talent management and even organizing artists under the Organisasyon ng Pilipinong Mang-aawit (OPM). The group is also instrumental in establishing careers of new artists in the Philippines.
