John De Buck (born 9 May 1992), known professionally as Apashe (pronounced 'A-pa-she'), is a Belgian-born Canadian musician. He was born in Brussels, Belgium and currently lives in Montreal, Quebec.

Apashe was born in Brussels. At the age of 19 he moved to Canada. There he began studying electroacoustics at Concordia University and then stayed in Montreal. After his studies he worked as a sound designer at Apollo Studio, where he co-produced the sound design for video games (e.g. Assassin's Creed, Watch Dogs, Far Cry) and the sound for Ubisoft gaming trailers. In 2014 he left the company as his own music started to kick off. 2011 he was signed by Kannibalen Records. In 2020 he released his second album Renaissance – a mix of electronic and classical music. For this project the Prague Symphony Orchestra with 69 instruments was hired. Requiem, which won GAMIQ's Electronic EP of the Year, and Renaissance were produced in his first own studio. His music has been used in various movie and series trailers e.g. John Wick, Iron Fist, Kingsman: The Golden Circle, Fast & Furious, and Love, Death & Robots Volume 3.

Apashe describes his music as "majestic" (a mix of classical and electronic music). When Apashe composes, he takes inspiration from movie scenes that he creates in his head, while still aiming to make his music danceable. He has collaborated with Tech N9ne, Dabin, Sway, Black Prez, Wasiu, Lubalin, wifisfuneral, RIOT, Vladimir Cauchemar, g. Alina Pash and more.
