Born in Argentina, Esteban is a South American singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist with over 20 years of experience as a professional in the music industry. He sings in English, Spanish and Portuguese and also plays Spanish versions of English songs. He plays acoustic guitar with a customised loop system adding bass, percussion, harmonies and catchy guitar licks and solos creating a FULL BAND SOUND.
Esteban brings some original music and worldwide known covers mixing different genres into his shows, such as modern hits, funky and reggae vibes, R&B tunes, Aussie classics and hits from the 80's and 90's to get people to dance and sing-along.
His experience from having been a member of multiple bands and engaging in solo projects in the past 20 years have given him his versatility in music. Because of this, Esteban is a musician and entertainer, able to play different types and styles of music suitable to almost any kind of event.
Most people will identify with Esteban's personal energy and music style, which suit venues wanting a happy beach-style vibe. He also loves playing at various other type of venues such as taverns, that require or request upbeat pub music to create a big party vibe.
Even with this being said, you would be wrong to think that he does not suit smaller bars and cozy restaurants with a more relaxing ambience. Esteban is a great performer even when playing beautiful chill-out music suitable for a more relaxing atmosphere. He creates a different type of connection with the audience, deeper and more intimate, creating a unique energy in the air.
Esteban also has a big passion for house concerts, weddings and corporate events, which involve the combination of all these different types of music in one night.
For something different I offer the option of MEXICAN OR LATIN FIESTAS with all music in Spanish. The acceptance of the crowd is substantially good as it is a type of music that sounds unique and exotic. It is music that people are not usually able to find or listen to in the live music industry so it creates a very fun atmosphere which everyone enjoys.
These gigs include traditional Mariachi, Mexican pop music, Rancheras and Boleros, Indie Mexican pop, Mexican rock & reggae and funky tunes.
These events or parties ('Fiestas' in Spanish) include worldwide Spanish classics, latin pop hits, Spanish versions of English songs, party reggaeton, cumbia, urban and tramp, indie latin pop, reggae, ska, funky tunes and bachata.
I can combine three options:
Party Reggaeton - very uplifting dance music of Puerto Rican origin, a fusion of Latin rythms and hip-hop
Latin Pop classics - urban, medium party tunes, romantic reggaeton, salsa and bachata
English Bachata - ideal for dinner atmosphere and chill-out happy background bar tunes
In general when I am hired as a DJ, I start with English Bachata for an hour or so to have a great intro. After that, I get more into the Latin Pop classics and romantic reggaeton, which is ideal to get the party feeling started. Finally I add another hour of uplifting Party Reggaeton to get people moving and dancing.
Let me use my professional experience to contribute to the wedding of your dreams.
Esteban is a South American full-time musician who has been playing on the coast for nearly a decade, performing at weddings, corporate events and other private events.
He sings from the heart, infused with passion from his Latin roots and creates a special ambience with that magic touch. Be amazed by his sweet melodies and make your wedding as special as you imagined.
Esteban knows how to entertain the guests and the lucky couple. Due to his vast knowledge and experience performing for diverse crowds, he chooses the most suitable songs for every moment of the wedding. Taking it from a chill-out and happy atmosphere at the canapés and reception to a very energetic performance on the dance floor. When he performs, he loves to connect with the crowd and plays what people want to hear and dance to.
He performs with an acoustic guitar and a customised loop system which he uses to record and loop layers of guitar, bass grooves, percussion and harmonies, creating a ‘Full band sound’, usually suitable at the end of the night.
His music selection is broad and includes worldwide known songs from the 60's, 80's and 90's, as well as Aussie classics, R&B, beach style happy tunes and modern hits.
Due to his Spanish background he also offers the choice between Mexican music and classic Latin tunes for people who want something different and more innovative. He can adapt to the client's needs by performing those tropical latin happy rhythms or focusing on the chill out romantic side.
With over 450 songs known by heart, there is no doubt we can make a suitable selection for you and your guests to enjoy.
Being based on the Sunshine Coast, local travel time is included. I can travel anywhere else outside of the Sunshine Coast for an additional charge, so my music is available for wherever you want your wedding to be held.

Creating customised unique sounds to support and use to promote your brand. Esteban has created the sound branding for 'Volando' tequila, an Aussie company that has established itself very well in the past few years. Their tequila is now sold in many bars, pubs and during events.

Listen to my latest songs and those of my band
Esteban is currently recording his first reggae solo EP as 'Esteban Roots'. 'Escape' is the first song of his project and it has been released on all the online platforms.
This song talks about that moment when we are going through a higher and deeper sense of awareness, happening when we truly connect with nature and consciously exchange energy. Sometimes we get overloaded with all the troubles we have in our world and want to express the compassion to our mother earth for all the damage we are constantly causing to her. While the only thing we want to do is going to nature and manifest our empathy and having that beautiful energetic connection with her.
Esteban also has a Ska Rock band called 'Banned From the Club', they are currently recording their second album. The songs 'Equinox' and 'Not who I am' are their last releases. Stay tuned for their next release 'Ride with me' which will come out later this year.
You can check all the next releases and know about the original shows below.
I also play in a ska rock band called Banned FTC, an upbeat trio with drums, bass (with lead guitar) and rhythm guitar with multiple vocals.
Banned From The Club, also known as 'Banned FTC', is a trio band who plays ska rock original music. They are currently recording their second album and are playing all over the Sunshine Coast and Brisbane.
We have done a successful UK tour in 2019 and they are looking forward to tour in Australia to promote their new upcoming album.

More videos of Esteban as a solo artist and with the band 'Banned FTC'
Esteban provided the music for my wedding. It was fantastic! There was a good variety of songs, and he is a great performer.
The song selection that he performed was right for the timings of the reception - pleasant and catchy songs during dinner, then upped the tempo for the dancing afterwards. Professionally, he was very easy to deal with, and everything leading up to the wedding was well organised by him. I would recommend Esteban for your wedding.
Attending the Melbourne Cup this year was fantastic and very well organised. Esteban provided the live music entertainment.
His blend of upbeat tracks and smooth melodies was the perfect complement to the vibrant atmosphere. In addition, he set up the sound for the race on the big screen so that everyone can enjoy it.
We booked Esteban for my 40th birthday party and he went above and beyond to meet our needs.
I have to admit I was a bit nervous as this was my first time booking a musician, but I could not have asked for a more professional entertainer and musician, he gave an outstanding performance and everybody engaged on the dancefloor.
Esteban played at the corporate event I organised and he is exactly what I was looking for.
He is a multi talented musician and his feeling for tempo is very well developed. Professional, well dressed entertainer, good at reading the crowd and performing accordingly. His music selection was outstanding and my colleagues are still asking me about him and want to make sure that we have him come back for our next event.
