Este Haim

Este Arielle Haim (born March 14, 1986) is an American musician. She is best known as the bassist and a vocalist of the pop-rock trio Haim, which she formed with her younger sisters Alana and Danielle in 2006. She co-writes all of Haim's songs.

Since 2021, Este has composed scores for film and television. She acted as a music consultant for the second season of HBO's The White Lotus. Este was also the executive music producer for the mini-series A Small Light (2023).

Este grew up in the San Fernando Valley, California and studied at LA County's High School For The Arts. Her family is Jewish, though they do not describe themselves as religious. Este's father, Mordechai "Moti" Haim, is an Israeli-born retired professional soccer player who moved to the United States in 1980. Her mother, Donna Rose, is a former elementary school art teacher from Philadelphia. Este's paternal grandmother was originally from Bulgaria.

The Haim sisters were taught to play instruments from an early age by their parents, with Este being encouraged to learn bass guitar by her father. She has described being influenced by bassist Tina Weymouth after her father showed her the Talking Heads concert film Stop Making Sense. Donna, Moti, and their children formed a family band, performing covers for charity gigs and at children's hospitals.

Este graduated from the University of California, Los Angeles with a degree in ethnomusicology.

Este formed the band Haim with her sisters Danielle and Alana in 2006. They played their first show in 2007 and released their debut extended play (EP) Falling as a free download on their website after meeting producer Ludwig Göransson. Their critically acclaimed debut album Days Are Gone was released in 2013, followed by their sophomore album Something to Tell You in 2017. Haim's third album Women in Music Pt. III was issued in June 2020, after the band postponed its release due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

In 2021, Este composed the score for the Netflix limited series Maid. She became involved in the project through a friend who was executive producing the show. Este collaborated with Christopher Stracey, a member of the electronic duo Bag Raiders. While Christopher produced and played synth-based sounds, Este played most of the instruments. While working on the music for Maid, Este and Christopher were approached to score the film Cha Cha Real Smooth.
