Luc Dumont was born in 1969 in Montreal, Canada. He wrote his first song while focusing on faith after a David Wilkerson conference. Mentored by Rev. Claude Houde in St-Hubert, Canada, Luc Dumont performed at the music gathering "Festival de Louange" in 1987, which led to his first record deal.

After a degree in theology, Luc wedded Marie-Josée, with whom he founded "Ministère Eaux Vives" records. The artist published two song books and recorded his first album before visiting France, where English translations are widespread in Christian worship.

Back in Canada, the songwriter teamed up with his friends Colin Généreux and Ken Mahoney (from Tables of Stone) to record his second and third albums and to go on tour across French-speaking countries. After two other song books, a fourth and a fifth album, Luc Dumont produced "Génération du Réveil" with Colin Généreux, as an album gathering French-speaking Christian artists.

Having worked as youth pastor, youth director and conference speaker, Luc Dumont became a full-time music evangelist in 2001. Through the "Éditions Eaux Vives" record company, Luc and Marie-Josée Dumont have fostered young French-speaking Christian artists and the release of albums such as "Coeur de Lévite" or "Emma et Simon". Labelled as worship, pop-rock or ballad, the songs by Luc Dumont are sung in many French-speaking worship services across the World, and their fresh and distinctive touch is complemented by a search for linguistic genuineness in Christian songwriting.
