Esta has only been DJ’ing for a few years; he likes to think of himself as mainly a studio producer. Nevertheless, ever since allying with the Soulection crew in 2012, the California native has played Low End Theory, Coachella, Boiler Room and around the world, so you know he’s doing something right. ‘Futuristic R&B’ is Esta’s game, with a house music sound starting to creep in slowly but surely. You may know him from sultry jams like ‘Paradise’ or his (unofficial) Sam Smith and Kali Uchis remixes, but watch out for Esta’s in-the-works debut album.
