Esther Eden was born in Goa, India on 26th November 1997. Music has always been a part of her life as her mother who was a jazz singer, exposed Esther to different genres of music. However, Esther preferred to concentrate on dancing and choreography.
​
In 2012, Esther’s interest in music grew while listening to the “+” album by Ed Sheeran and she is now self-taught at the guitar, piano and ukulele.
Her big break was when Jessie J came to her school and was floored when Esther performed the first original song she had written, “Is This Love”. Jessie J then invited Esther to perform for her concert that same evening and the rest as they say is history.

Interview with Esther Eden
1. Why did you want to pursue a career as a singer/songwriter? Was this always what you wanted to do?
I wanted to pursue this as a career because what is better than doing what you love? Singing and songwriting is something I'm passionate about and being able to turn it into a career is a blessing. This wasn't something I always had interest in. I originally wanted to be a child psychologist for special need children as I love children.
2. What was the biggest challenge you faced to get to where you are today?
Believing in myself. I think that's where it all starts. You need to be able to dream big and believe that you will get to where you want to be.
​
3. What piece of advice would you give to aspiring singers?
Practice, work hard, be determined and humble. Keep learning and growing.
4. What's the best part of being a singer/songwriter,or the best part of a normal day in your life?
The best part of being a singer songwriter is being able to reach a lot of people and inspiring them. I love meeting fans and getting different messages from them. From little kids to adults, I get messages about how they: look up to me, have been influenced, connected to my lyrics and could dance to my music.
