About
Hi, I'm
ESTEBAN TAMA TAMASHIRO
​I'm a composer, producer, orchestrator, music educator and pianist with over 10 years of experience creating music for video games and films.
My work includes composing for cinematics for Genshin Impact and soundtracks for video games on platforms like PlayStation, Nintendo Switch, and PC. My music has also earned recognition in the film industry, with my score for the short film A Legacy of Us nominated at the 2021 Hollywood Music in Media Awards for Best Original Score for a Shortfilm.
​
I draw inspiration from a wide range of styles—ranging from classical, electronic, and contemporary pop, to folk music, jazz, and experimental genres—while nurturing a special love for traditional Asian music. This blend of influences has naturally shaped my sound, helping me craft music that feels both personal and adaptable to the stories I tell.
Since childhood, video games, films, and music have been integral to my life. While my early musical journey led me toward becoming a concert pianist, these passions ultimately drove my creativity and inspired my path into composing. I find unique excitement in crafting music that not only evokes the right emotion but also deepens the audience's connection to the story being told.
I hold a Bachelor's Degree in Music Composition from the National University of Córdoba and a Master's Degree in Music Composition for Media from Conservatori Liceu in Barcelona. My master's studies were made possible by a full-ride scholarship from Fundación Carolina, where I had the privilege of studying under the legendary José Nieto.​
