Education
Like her sisters, Este was a student of the Millikan Middle School. She then attended the Los Angeles County High School for the Arts.
Her family is Jewish, though they do not describe themselves as religious. Haim’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. Haim’s paternal grandmother was originally from Bulgaria.
The Haim sisters were taught to play instruments from an early age by their parents, with Haim being encouraged to learn bass guitar by her father. Donna, Moti, and their children formed a family band, performing covers for charity gigs and at children’s hospitals.
She went on to attend UCLA (University of California, Los Angeles) and received a degree in Ethnomusicology in 2010.
She completed her graduating degree in 2 years instead of the normal 5 years and specialized in Bulgarian and Brazilian music.
Career
The band Haim formed in 2006 and played their first show in 2007. They released their first 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, Haim composed the score for the Netflix limited series Maid. She became involved in the project through a friend who was executive producing the show. Haim collaborated with Christopher Stracey, a member of the electronic duo Bag Raiders. While Christopher produced and played synth-based sounds, Haim played most of the instruments. While working on the music for Maid, Haim and Christopher were approached to score the film Cha Cha Real Smooth.
Haim wrote original music for the Netflix teen movie Do Revenge. She collaborated with composer Amanda Yamate.
Haim served as music consultant for season 2 of the HBO series The White Lotus after being invited to the set by her friend Dave Bernad. Bernad executive produced the series, and asked Haim to work on the show after observing her interactions with actress Beatrice Granno.
Haim hosted the pop culture and music podcast That Thing I Do with actor Darren Criss. One series of the podcast was released in 2021.
In 2023, Haim acted in her first role as executive music producer on the National Geographic limited series A Small Light. Composer Ariel Marx wrote an original score for the series, with Haim producing an accompanying soundtrack of cover versions of songs from the 1930s and 1940s. Contributors to the soundtrack include Danielle Haim, Angel Olsen, Remi Wolf and Weyes Blood.
Personal life
Haim was diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes at age fourteen, during her first year of high school. In interviews, she has discussed the challenges of managing diabetes as a touring musician. When the band first performed at Glastonbury Festival, Haim fainted after taking insulin without the opportunity to eat. In 2018, Haim was diagnosed with stage 3 kidney disease. She has since started wearing a continuous glucose monitor which she credits with transforming how she manages her diabetes.
Artistry
Este is a multi-instrumentalist who plays bass guitar, drums and guitar. Este’s main instrument is a 1975 Fender Precision Bass. Her first bass was a Fender Jazz Precision, which she purchased herself after saving up her allowance. Este prefers to play without a pick and rarely uses effects. Bass Magazine described her style as diverse, “which allows her to both play for the song and play for the bass, at all times”.
