Aly was born and raised in the Limoilou district of Quebec. From a Senegalese father and a Quebec mother, he has always been proud of his origins and presents himself as a pure wool Métis SénéQueb. His passion for history led him to pursue university studies in this field. |

An activist, Webster is very involved socially. He regularly gives lectures on a multitude of subjects including, his favorite theme, the history of the Afro-descendant presence and slavery in Quebec and Canada since the time of New France. In order to better disseminate this information, he set up the Qc History X tours, a guided tour of Quebec City about this largely unknown piece of history. He was also the curator of the Fugitives! at the National Museum of Fine Arts of Quebec from April to September 2019. |

Since 2009, he has traveled the world to present writing workshops where he learns the creative use of French through rap. He visited several American universities including Harvard, M.I.T., Howard, Georgetown and UCLA. He has also given concerts, conferences and writing workshops in several countries in Africa, Asia, Europe and South America. |

Musically, Webster has been active since 1995; founding member of the Limoilou Starz collective, he is a veteran and one of the pioneers of the Quebec hip-hop movement. The Old Man of the Mountain is recognized for the quality of his texts as well as the intelligence of his remarks. His art is a tool that he has been refining for almost three decades in order to convey his cultural and intellectual baggage in the most creative way. |
