Apache Indian is the stage name of reggae DJ, Steven Kapur (born on 11 May 1967 in Handsworth, Birmingham). He introduced bhangra raggamuffin also known as bhangramuffin - to the World with his first album “No Reservations” (produced by Simon & Diamond, Phil Chill, Robert Livingston, Bobby Digital and Sly Dunbar) in 1993. It was followed by “Make Way for the Indian” (produced by Sly & Robbie, The Press, Mafia & Fluxy, Pandit Dinesh and Chris Lane), which featured rapper Tim Dog and spawned the massive hit “Boomshackalak”. “Real People” (produced by Harjinder Noparai) proved to be his most experimental album and also featured more Indian elements than the other albums. “Karma”, his latest album, was a return to more traditional forms of reggae. It featured Luciano, Boy George as well as Mafia & Fluxy.

Apache Indian merged raggamuffin with Indian music as well as influences from mainstream pop and hip hop. Born in Handsworth, Birmingham, England, Apache Indian started a trend that has found a huge following.

He is the only Asian to date to have seven Top 40 Hits on the mainstream British charts. Stylistically, Apache Indian moved from mixing Indian music with raggamuffin and (on his second album) hip hop to more traditional forms of reggae on his most recent album, “Karma”.

Lyrically, Apache Indian - who always uses Jamaican English - is known for his sharp social criticism (“Arranged Marriage” featuring Natacha Atlas; “Mention”) as well as his party tracks (“Boomshackalak”, “Jump Up”).
