About ANT
Turkish born singer Ant Nurhan has been living in Estonia since moving to the Baltic state with his Estonian wife in 2018. Beginning his musical journey at a relatively late age of 24, following his father’s death.
He rose to fame in 2023 after winning Eesti otsib superstaari – Estonia’s version of the Idol format, a show previously won by Alika Milova. Music was a big help in Ant learning Estonian, with songs such as Kuula by Ott Lepland being particularly inspirational to him.
