Nobuo Uematsu is a Japanese musician and composer, best known for his contributions to the Final Fantasy video game series by Square Enix. A self-taught musician, he began playing the piano at the age of twelve, with English singer-songwriter Elton John as one of his biggest influences. Consequently, instead of backing down he decided to name the album "Dancing Dad", as a nod to the band's name. He said it was a way to make some money on the side, while also keeping his part-time job at the music rental shop. [49] Uematsu's Final Fantasy scores vary from upbeat, to dark and angry, to melancholic in nature.

[4] After graduating from Kanagawa University with a degree in English, Uematsu played the keyboard in several amateur bands and composed music for television commercials. [1] When Uematsu was working at a music rental shop in Tokyo, a Square employee asked if he would be interested in creating music for some of the titles they were working on. [24][25] Uematsu returned to compose the main theme for Final Fantasy VII Remake in 2020.
On top of this, he made a short visit to the prestigious Berklee College of Music for a brief Q & A session at the request of VGO founder and Berklee alumni Shota Nakama. In the 2000s, he was the keyboardist in the hard rock band The Black Mages, along with Square Enix colleagues Kenichiro Fukui and Tsuyoshi Sekito. Being a self-taught musician, he began to play the piano when he was eleven or twelve years old.
