Totaiota is the motor that drives the life of a young composer, the freedom from rules and schemas, the powerful, passionate music born from a strong childhood dream, always there, waiting to be set free. I'm Ester Maiorani, an Italian pianist, violinist, singer and composer from Rome, now based in Switzerland. I grew up with music all around me: both my parents are pianists, and my mom introduced me to it at three. By seven, I was already composing. Some of those early melodies still live inside my recent songs. At fourteen I entered the Conservatorio Licinio Refice in Frosinone, balancing two cities, school and my degrees. In 2022 I earned a Master in classical piano, and in my last year of studies I discovered Lausanne. I moved there to escape a reality that felt like a cage, built by systems, and a lack of opportunities. Then I joined the EJMA, and today I'm pursuing my studies at the HEMU of Lausanne. In 2025-2026 I was part of the DoubleJazz program offered by Migros PourcentCulturel, deepening composition and production. Today, Totaiota is my own perspective: a way to uplift emotions and turn heavy feelings into something strong, light and enjoyable. It's the need to communicate hidden words, the driving force that lets me tell my own story. Blending Pop songwriting with Jazz and Funk nuances and a touch of classical sensibility into an introspective, dynamic sound i build a universal conversation based on true, meaningful experiences, to which everyone can relate.
