Ape Drums is a globally recognised producer and DJ whose genre-blurring sound sits at the intersection of electronic, Afro-house and Caribbean‑influenced music. The Mexican-American artiste officially joined Major Lazer in 2019 and has toured extensively as part of the group at major festivals and clubs worldwide. His breakthrough came in 2014 with a standout set at HARD Day of the Dead, marking the start of his international rise. Now based in Miami, Ape Drums has spent years refining a darker, rhythm‑driven sound shaped by his background in breakdancing and a lifelong immersion in global music cultures. Known for his instinctive, dance‑floor‑first approach, he continues to release new music while contributing to the evolving sound of Major Lazer.
