Of probable Portuguese origin, Pedro de Escobar was in Portugal in May 1507, when he was invited to take the post of chapelmaster and master of the choirboys at Seville Cathedral. He disappears from the records at the cathedral in the early months of 1514, with no indication that he had died. He was one of the earliest and most skilled composers of polyphony in the Iberian Peninsula, whose music has survived.
