Brand-new to the scene in 2014, Ape Drums has carved out a distinct path in modern dancehall, blending elements of moombahton and electronic music to create high-energy, bass-forward performances. Born Eric Alberto-Lopez, this versatile artist has grown from early EP work to becoming a member of Major Lazer in 2019, a milestone that elevated his global profile. Ape Drums’ sound is instantly recognizable for its infectious rhythms, punchy drums, and a willingness to push genre boundaries while staying true to dancehall roots.
