Essa was born in Dubai, but as a Pakistani by nationality. He began playing tape-ball cricket in the streets, a common way of playing cricket amongst South Asians. He developed his skill in batting and bowling through constant practice, and got familiarized with pressure as he played, too. In 2021, Essa submitted an application to join an official Under-14 cricket tournament being held in Dubai, by the Emirates-Pakistan Sports Association. He was accepted and amalgamated into Al Nahda Rockets, a team in the tournament which was based on the residential area; Al Nahda. The tournament had a knockout system, and the Rockets faced Jumeirah Eagles in their first match. Essa starred in the smooth win against the Eagles, and his fame under the teenage cricket banner began since then. He went on to lead the Rockets into a flawless victory, as he was made Captain by the second match.
