Ernie Auclair

Ernest Jean "Ernie" Auclair (born 1 February 1990) is a Canadian singer who found fame after winning Torontokyo 2003 with his song "Sur mon chemin", sung to the tune of "Aimai na Boku no Katachi" by EXILE.

Early life
Ernest Jean Auclair was born on 1 February 1990 in Toronto to a French father (Joseph Auclair; born 11 March 1959) and a Russian mother (Tatiana Abakumov-Auclair; born 14 August 1961).

Torontokyo
During the 2002 Christmas season, the Toronto-based TV channel CBLFT-DT was thinking about creating a singing contest for kids in eastern Canada aged 8-15 who perform a French-language version of a non-French song from recent times. The show was called Torontokyo, in which kids within that age group sing a French version of a J-pop hit that were released before the program's proposed debut. The first edition of Torontokyo took place in May 2003 at the Enercare Centre, which later became the usual venue for the contest.

2004-present
Auclair embarked on a co-headlining concert tour along with Tanya Gareth and Musetta Shimmin. It started on 24 February 2004 in Buffalo, New York and concluded later that year on 16 April in Rotterdam, Netherlands.

Personal life
Auclair married actress and comedian Joanna Borzym on 20 April 2019. The only "children" the couple has are two pigs: Loona and Zoya, both of which were adopted in October.
