En Esch's musical basis is his solid training as a drummer. From the mid-1980s onwards he gained increasing popularity with the industrial rock band KMFDM (No majority for pity) and was instrumental in the composition and production of 14 of their albums and 20 singles.
In 1987 he was, together with Natias Neutert, Jacques Sehy and Udo Sturm, with the highly acclaimed musical performance When elephants meet, some weight comes together at the festival "Days of New Music" from October 22nd to November 15th at the Hamburg State Opera guest as a pianist.
On January 22nd, 1999 the KMFDM disbanded and released the last album to date with Adios . Then En Esch founded a new project with Guenter Schulz called Slick Idiot . At the same time he worked with the band Pigface , which he accompanied on their tour in 2005. En Esch has been working with the German singer Mona Mur since 2007 and has released two albums with her. In 2010 he completed the Sucksess 2010 USA Tour in Phoenix, Arizona. In 2013 another album was created with FM Einheit and Mona Mur. In 2014, 21 years after Cheesy, he released his second solo album Spänk .
