Mononc' Serge

Mononc' Serge (born Serge Robert, 1970) is a Québécois musician and poet known for his satirical songs about politicians, local celebrities, and social issues. His lyrics often mix humor with sharp criticism, particularly of the Quebec federalist movement and Canadian politics. "Mononc' Serge" translates to "Unc Serge" in French.

History Serge Robert began his career as the first official bassist for Les Colocs in 1990, replacing Marc Déry. His tenure was marked by creative tensions with frontman André "Dédé" Fortin, who opposed Robert’s desire to pursue outside projects.

Mononc’ Serge first developed his musical persona on the community radio station CIBL, where he created irreverent songs inspired by current events. His early success led to his debut album, Mononc' Serge chante 97 (1997). The project began as a songwriting challenge on CIBL.

In 2003, Mononc' Serge partnered with the thrash metal band Anonymus to release L'Académie du massacre, an album featuring heavy metal versions of his existing songs alongside a few new compositions. He later adapted this approach into online video segments for Voir. His 2015 album, Mononc' Serge 2015, marked a return to political and cultural satire, featuring songs about figures such as Philippe Couillard, Pierre Karl Péladeau, and Stephen Harper, as well as broader topics like media coverage and social tensions.
