Serge Hub grew up in Villefontaine, near Lyon, a childhood marked by rejection and bullying at school. Now based in Rennes, in Brittany, he has led worship at his church there for about ten years and founded a gospel choir, Gospel Joy, in 2008. His music, with simple, catchy melodies, draws directly from Scripture.
In 2010 and again the following year, he traveled to Dakar, Senegal, to work with street children, the talibés; moved by their stories, he wrote a slam poem denouncing their living conditions. After "Lève les yeux" (2012), his first album in an afro style, he released "On y va" (2017), a folk and acoustic record arranged and recorded in Canada, conceived as an invitation to an inner journey.
