Born in 1967 to a family with exposure to Turkish classical music, Cihan Sezer showed affinity for the piano when he was five years old. At the age of seven, he became the first child of Turkish origin to be accepted to the Beringen Music Academy. At this academy, he graduated on musical harmony, score and music theory. During the years of his education on western classical music in Belgium, he also researched Anatolian tunes and Turkish classical music. Since the 1980s, one of his major endeavors is applying this music to western form and creating syntheses. Not only was Sezer drawn to western and eastern classical music in his youth but also to Rock, New wave and Funk. He played drums, bass, guitar and keyboards for several bands performing across all these genres. Sezer has been involved in producing music for various corporate and advertising films. Recently, he extended his career as a composer and musical director towards producing soundtracks for pictures ranging across TV series, documentaries and films like The Market – A Tale of Trade (2008) and Biçak sirti (2007 - 2008).
