Born in Brussels, Belgium, Ernst began his musical studies in Paris at the age of five, Solfeggio at eight, and counterpoint at fifteen.Having devoted the entirety of his early training to classical music, a transition came about with studies in Jazz and Pop/Rock.

Regular clients included Columbia Pictures, Buena Vista, Pioneer and Chrysler. Ernst’s work on trailers was the catalyst to score motion pictures.
