Erev studied under musicologist Tzvi Keren and jazz musician Moshe Osherowitz, and attended the Tel Aviv University Academy of Music. Since 1980, he has led various jazz trios and ensembles.[1]

He has collaborated with musicians including singer Edna Goren, bassist Eli Magen, Saxophonist Joel Frahm. Frahm is featured on Erev's 2012 album A Handful of Changes, and Magen is featured on his 2016 album Flow.[2] Erev's albums primarily consist of his original compositions, but also include jazz arrangements of Israeli popular music by songwriters such as Shalom Hanoch, Yoni Rechter, and Sasha Argov.[3]

He performs regularly in festivals and jazz clubs in Israel and in Europe.[4][5]
