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]
