Binksky - Single



There are at least four artists/groups with the name Esteban. 1.) Esteban is the solo project of Brazilian musician Rodrigo Tavares (ex bass player and back vocal on the emo band Fresno), in which he plays all the instruments including guitar, piano, and, in the recordings, guitar, drums, and other instruments. In some shows, a band accompanies him, in others, he plays only with a keyboard and a guitar. The name given to his first CD, 'iAdiós, Esteban!', represents the fact that Tavares is saying goodbye to his 'old self' (the 'Tavares of 2009'). 'In 2009 I was a jerk,' he said when questioned on social media. The first single from the CD was the song 'Canal 12'. One of the first songs released from the 'Esteban' project was 'Sophia', which remains very successful to this day along with the song 'Pianinho'. 2.)

He attended South Hills Catholic High School (since absorbed into Seton-La Salle Catholic High School) in Mt. Lebanon.

According to Esteban, at this time, he was teaching approximately 150 students a week and playing in nightclubs. 3.)
