Ben Esser, known mononymously as Esser, is an English singer, songwriter and producer. He is from Chelmsford, Essex and was formerly a drummer for the band Ladyfuzz.[2] Ben attended Great Baddow High School and staying true to his roots, some students at the time of release were included, in uniform, in the video of his single Headlock [3]

His debut album, Braveface, was released in the UK in May 2009 via Transgressive Records; Esser promoted the record as a support act for the Kaiser Chiefs' UK arena tour and also on his own tour, joined by a live band that included his brother.[4] He released an EP, Enmity, in 2012, taking influence from Krautrock groups such as Cluster and Harmonia.[5]
