ERNEST
Professional Keyboardist & MUSIC DIrECTOR
Ernest’s earliest musical influences originated with his grandmother. With a remarkable career as a church musician for over 50-years, she inspired Ernest to learn to play the piano. She also served as his first piano teacher when he was 9. Under his grandmother’s tutelage, Ernest was ready to lead his first choir as a pianist a mere 2-years later. To optimize his skills and polish his performance abilities, he went on to pursue a Bachelor of Science Degree in Music Engineering from Hampton University. “My unique music style combines Gospel, Classical and R&B musical genres.” Ernest uses a distinctive approach that is smooth, pleasing, and intricate in musicality. Because of his strong work ethic and unparalleled ability to mesmerize his audience with harmonious melodies, he was selected from among his peers to intern with national recording group Boyz II Men. With over 30-years of experience as a professional musician, Ernest has served as a drummer, organist, pianist, choral conductor, and music director throughout his distinctive career. He now serves as the Déja Grüv Band's Music Director.
