Born in Nicosia in 1972, Ersan began his musical journey at a young age by playing piano and bass guitar. At the age of 15, he decided to play the guitar and performed Rock-Blues-Jazz stage performances for many years. Later, he focused on studying Modern Jazz harmony composition and wrote music in the Fusion style. He was selected as one of the top 5 guitarists of the year in a competition organized by “Guitarist Magazine” in England and was featured in guitar magazines. Invited by Billy Paul, he performed in various states in America and then signed a contract with the Yamaha music company. With his second album, “A Reborn Journey,” he introduced listeners to a fusion style that blended Eastern and Western influences. For his third album, he wrote works inspired by themes such as space, space-time, and gravity, based on the “Wow Signal.” This album was used during science days by UNESCO in Austria and with his projects, he has performed at many international jazz festivals to date.
