Apache Indian is the stage name of the reggae dee jay/toaster, Steven Kapur (born 11 May 1967, Handsworth, Birmingham).
With the collaboration of his cousins Simon & Diamond, he introduced the new hybrid sound of 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 hit, "Boomshackalak". Real People / Wild East (produced by Harjinder Boparai whom he still owes money) proved to be his most experimental album, and also featured more Indian elements than the other albums.
Karma, his fourth album, was a return to more traditional forms of reggae. It featured Luciano, Boy George as well as Mafia & Fluxy.
