I love this Artist - Nobuo Uematsu

Nobuo Uematsu is a well-known composer of SquareEnix's Final Fantasy series.

He is called "Beethoven of video game music" sometimes. He started playing the piano when he was 12 years old, and he learned music by himself. He joined Square in 1986, worked for nearly 20 years, and then retired in 2004 to set up his own production company. He then worked as a freelancer with Square Enix and other game companies.

He has not taken formal piano lessons. After graduating from college, when he was working at a music rental store in Tokyo, he was asked if he is interested in making music for games by a Square employee. He replied that he was interested at the time, but he didn't think it would be a full-time job later.
