Whether she’s puzzling over a melody with her sisters or sounding out an emotional sequence with Stracey, Haim takes a “no bad ideas” approach. “As an artist, I take my craft very seriously and so obviously I felt like I had something to prove with both ‘Maid’ and with ‘Cha Cha.’”

“I don’t think it’s a given that just because you’re a musician, you can be a composer,” she explained. When that day came, Haim found the transition from writing and performing her own music to scoring “pretty intuitive.” Still, she doesn’t take any of it for granted. In high school, she toyed with the idea of editing music videos for a living, as she did for her musician friends. Haim has been interested in “the way that music intermingles with picture, and how you can play with people’s emotions” long before she was starring in her own music videos. “As very much a self starter, I was like, ‘Do you need music?’”

“A movie about a bar mitzvah? Where do I sign? Have you been reading my diary?” Haim remembered thinking to herself, as relayed during a recent interview with TheWrap. During a late-night coffee break, the duo overheard some producer friends talking about “Cha Cha Real Smooth,” indie wunderkind Cooper Raiff’s new film about a college graduate who works as a “party starter” at bar and bat mitzvahs. Early into the process, a second opportunity rolled around by coincidence or perhaps fate.

In 2021, she and fellow musician Christopher Stracey made their compositional debut with “Maid,” the Netflix limited series starring Margaret Qualley. In addition to shredding bass and serving face at Haim shows around the world, she played a version of herself opposite sisters Danielle and Alana (and their parents) in last year’s “Licorice Pizza.” But somewhere between selling out Madison Square Garden and attending the Oscars, the eldest member of the trio has quietly been carving out her own path as a composer. Este Haim is most famously known as a sister.
