Biography

Often referred to as the John Williams of the video game industry, the comparison suits him well. Nobuo Uematsu was born in Kouchi City, Japan, on March 21, 1959. He began playing the piano at age 12, entirely self-taught. He has said that his motivation to learn piano was to emulate Elton John. After high school, Nobuo graduated from the University of Kanagawa with a major unrelated to music. At 22, he played keyboard in several amateur bands but soon realized he preferred composing over performing. He pursued a career as a composer by sending demo tapes to various companies, eventually securing a job composing music for radio commercials.

In 1985, a friend working at the video game company Squaresoft invited Nobuo to compose music for their games, which marked the beginning of his notable career.

Outside of work, Nobuo enjoys listening to Irish music, watching Japanese pro wrestling, brewing and drinking beer, and learning to play the fiddle. He currently lives in Japan with his wife Reiko and their dog, Pao.
