-Up and coming Pop Arranger and Songwriter, Film Score Composer, and Session Drummer- My wide array of skills and experiences can ensure that my contributions to your project, no matter what you require, ensure a unique and satisfying final product.
I am a drummer, composer and arranger that has been studying music for over 12 years. I have been classically trained in piano and drums since I was very young, and am currently completing my Bachelor's of Music specializing in jazz drum performance from Brandon University in Manitoba, Canada.
I can offer a variety of services to ensure that your projects are completed to your liking not only in a timely manner, but cost effective as well. I have scored two short films for acclaimed Vancouver film school graduate Omar Benson (one which has won various awards at indie film festivals). I have tracked live drums for countless of artists such as local bands, Edmonton breakout star Dane Bjornson, and various others. I have composed and arranged indie pop and RnB music for multiple artists and musicians. And I have mixed audio for numerous sources such as podcasts, film music, streaming services, etc.
I believe my unique set of influences ranging from RnB heavies such as Daniel Caesar and Mac Ayres. Avant-garde pop artists like Frank Ocean. Indie rock trailblazers such as Whitney and Bahamas. And legendary film composers such as Hans Zimmer, all give me a unique sound that I would be excited to bring to any project.
I look forward to working with you!

Interview with Esteban Seunarine
Q: How would you describe your style?
A: Unique. For whatever project I am working on, I try to bring any and all my influences to the table, even if they are bizarre and seem unrelated. This results in a sound that is uniquely "me" and would be hard to replicate.
Q: Which artist would you like to work with and why?
A: Frank Ocean and Hans Zimmer. Two huge influences and such creative people. I believe their creativity goes beyond just music, which I really admire.
Q: What do you bring to a song?
A: My unique set of influences, experiences, education, and skillset. I will ensure I meet the goals you are setting for me, as well as add my personal unique sound to your project.
Q: What's your typical work process?
A: My priority is to figure out exactly what the artist wants, and then my job is to help them achieve that. I usually start with a consultation and ask what sound they are seeking (references are very useful at this step). Then I will start chipping away at the project, sending some examples of what I have done to see if it is to the artists liking. This process continues until the artist is satisfied with me and what I have contributed.
Q: Tell us about your studio setup.
A: I work from my studio at home where I utilize various DAW's, VST's and plug-ins, and analogue equipment to get the sound I'm searching for.
Q: What other musicians or music production professionals inspire you?
A: Mac Ayres, Daniel Caesar, Frank Ocean, Whitney, Phil Collins, Hans Zimmer
Q: Describe the most common type of work you do for your clients.
A: Film Scoring, Composing and Arranging, or Session Drumming.
