Este Haim is a Grammy-nominated musician, composer, actor, and writer. In 2007, Este and her sisters, Danielle and Alana, founded HAIM, their all-female rock band in which Este sings as well as plays the bass. HAIM made history in 2021 as the first all-female rock group to be nominated for Grammy Album of The Year with their third album, “Women In Music Pt. III.” Throughout her music career, Este has collaborated with many artists including Kid Cudi, Charli XCX, Thundercat, and Taylor Swift.  

In 2021, Este scored the critically acclaimed Netflix limited series, MAID, starring Margaret Qualley. She also completed the score for her first feature film, Cha Cha Real Smooth, starring Dakota Johnson, alongside her composing partner Christopher Stracey. The film premiered to acclaim at the 2022 Sundance Film Festival winning the US Dramatic Audience Choice Awardand a Grand Jury Prize nomination. In 2023, she was the Executive Music Producer and Song Producer for the Disney+ series A Small Light where she collaborated with artists like Sharon Van Etten, Orville Peck, King Princess, Moses Sumney, Kamasi Washington, and her sister Danielle Haim.

At 14, Este was diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes after experiencing some symptoms and eventually passing out in the middle of a mall. While she was told her chronic autoimmune condition would prohibit her from making her music dreams come true, Este took her parents' encouraging words to heart: "You listen to your doctor when it comes to medical advice...but when it comes to life advice, you listen to yourself, and you do everything you can to make your dreams come true."
