Growing up in Instanbul he studied German and Slavic Linguistics and Literature as well as Law. From 1969 to 1976 he was chief editor of the Turkish Literary Magazine "Yeni Ufuklar" ("New Horizons"). In 1980 he emigrated to Germany and has been living there since.〔Mahmood Hama Tschawisch, Die kurdische Exilliteratur in Deutschland von den 70er Jahren bis heute, Marburg, 1996〕 After settling in Germany, Erdem began to write about the conditions of foreign or migrant workers living in Germany (so called Gastarbeiterl Literature). His first work, called ''Annäherungen - Prosa, Lyrik und Fotografiken aus dem Gastarbeiteralltag'', was published in 1982 in the anthology ''Annäherungen - Prosa, Lyrik und Fotografiken aus dem Gastarbeiteralltag'', and was edited by Franco Biondi, Jusuf Naoum und Rafik Schami. In the following years he published poems and short stories dealing with Turkish and Kurdish immigrant culture in Germany.〔Mahmood Hama Tschawisch, Die kurdische Exilliteratur in Deutschland von den 70er Jahren bis heute, Marburg, 1996〕 In 1985 he published the fairy tale ''Siyabend and Xecê'' in German and Kurdish as a retelling of an ancient Kudish Folklore. In 1991 his book was adapted into a film by the Turkish Senar Film Company and German WDR, for which Erdem also wrote the screenplay. This German/Turkish co-production was the first movie ever to be filmed in Kurdish language.〔(Der Kameramann 12/1991, Georg Berg: ''Spielfilmproduktion im Ausnahmezustand'' ) (PDF-Datei; 535 kB)〕 In 1986 the German WDR also produced and released a radio play written by Erdem, called ''Das Feuer wird nie erlöschen'' (''The Fire Will Never Be Extinguished''), which deals with the topic of Kudish minorities living in Turkey.
