Steven Kapur, also known as Apache Indian, is best known for his distinct reggae style which combines elements of Jamaican, Indian, and English music. He was born in Birmingham, to a family of Indian origins. By the mid 1980’s, Apache Indian began to make a name for himself as a DJ, with his first single, “Move Over India”, released in 1990. After his song was positively received, he continued to make music which combined ragga and bhangra. From there, he only continued to rise in popularity. As of 2000, he has signed with Sunset Entertainment, where he has collaborated with hit producers Jim Beanz and Charlie Hype. Apache Indian is also known as one of the earliest UK artists of Asian origin to have a significant impact on the UK charts. He is now an International chart topping reggae artist who's sold 11 million albums worldwide.
