Apa's natural talent of playing the guitar was discovered when he was 13-years-old. He even brought his guitar to his final audition.
"For my final screen test, I took in my guitar and played them a song," he told Collider. "I think that locked it in." That said, he believes his and Archie's musical tastes and skill levels are very different. "I don't know how to say it, but we're not at the same level, you know what I mean?" he told The Last Magazine. "Somehow I have to say that not in a cocky way, but he's a beginner. Also, the songs that he writes, I don't think I would listen to them. I do not have the same taste in music as him."
