Biography

''Radio-Canada Musical Revelation of the Year Award winner, Joseph Sarenhes is an Afro/indigenous versatile artist. In addition to playing piano, guitar and percussion, he is also a singer, rapper and songwriter. Being the son of an African dancer and musician, Joseph bathed his entire childhood in West African culture and rhythms, which gave him a strong foundation in terms of musical technique. It's only later that he fell in love with hip-hop culture which is; ''not different from what Africa taught me'', he said. Musically speaking, it's only natural that Joseph's identity has very strong cultural roots. Of Guinean and Native (Huron-Wendat Nation) origins, he instinctively creates a mixture that is both homogeneous and refreshing between tradition and modernity. He stands out for his originality and for the power and quality with which he performs live. "Sarenhes", in the Wendat language, means "The tree with the highest crown." He proudly decided to reclaim his real last name, which had been taken from his native ancestors during evangelization. Joseph directs his music so that it becomes an unifying medium that inspires and leaves a positive impact on Afro/Indigenous youth and everyone else." - Hourglass 11
