Biography

Nobuo Uematsu, the acclaimed composer renowned for his work on the Final Fantasy series, began his musical career in Japan, self-taught on the piano before transitioning to composing for video games in the mid-'80s. His iconic scores for multiple games, including the first Final Fantasy installment in 1987, solidified his status as a pioneer in the industry. Uematsu's diverse portfolio also includes collaborations with other composers, such as Yasunori Mitsuda on Chrono Trigger, as well as his own solo projects like the electronic keyboard album Phantasmagoria in 1994.

After his time with the Final Fantasy franchise, Uematsu ventured into film scoring, founded his own companies, and continued to create music for various video games and anime series. His return to Final Fantasy with the 2010 release of Final Fantasy XIV marked a new chapter in his illustrious career, followed by ongoing contributions to game soundtracks well into the 2010s. Noteworthy projects include collaborations with Tsutomu Narita on Hometown Story and Granblue Fantasy, as well as Square Enix's orchestral arrangements of his music in the Bra Bra Final Fantasy series with the Siena Wind Orchestra.
