Ham the chimp was the first hominid to be launched into space on January 31, 1961, as part of NASA's space program. Ham was originally known as “Chimpanzee No. 65" during his training for the space mission. His successful flight helped pave the way for human spaceflight and the eventual landing of humans on the moon.

At Monkey 65, we pay homage to his legacy. Our love for space and music is deeply rooted in the spirit of adventure and exploration that Ham embodied. Our mission is to create music that inspires awe and wonder.

Just as Ham's journey into space inspired generations of scientists and engineers, we hope to inspire music lovers alike to reach for the stars and achieve greatness. Come join us on this cosmic odyssey, and let's make some magic together.
