Alec Koone (born c. 1991), better known by his stage name Balam Acab, is an American electronic musician and producer originally from Mechanicsburg, Pennsylvania.[1][2][3] He released his first EP, See Birds, in 2010,[4] which was followed by his first full-length album, Wander/Wonder, in 2011.[5]
Koone began creating hardcore and metal at the age of 13 with a group of musician friends.[2][3] While studying music at Ithaca College in Ithaca, New York in 2009, he began to experiment with post-rock and ambient music.[3] He eventually dropped out of Ithaca College to focus on his music career.[3] The name "Balam Acab" was taken from a Mayan god that he learned about in Spanish class.[6][7]
