A native of the DMV (DC, Maryland and Virginia), Apache is not your typical percussionist. Born Jason Farrell on March 2, “Apache” developed a love of music at an early age. He explains “I remember my favorite uncle encouraging me to play, but truthfully my skills were formed when I began using my aunts’ pots and pans as instruments.”
The rest, as they say is history!
Describing his style as cool, calm and effortless, Apache draws on the influences of Prince and Michael Jackson for his inspiration. He enjoys playing multiple percussion instruments and credits his family’s love of music for his success. “My father was the number one DJ in the DMV and is still well known for his spins” Apache states, and my family was always surrounded by great music and food.
When not perfecting his musical skills, Apache enjoys working with computers, building websites and mobile apps. He also enjoys cooking and grilling. His future plans are to become an established and successful entrepreneur, but his most important goal is to be a great father.
When asked about his musical philosophy, he didn’t hesitate to give a quote by Bob Marley – “One good thing about music, when it hits you, you feel no pain”. Well, Apache, we’ve been touched by your talents, and let’s just say, pain is the last thing we were feeling!
