From a young age, Fouche showed a natural talent for music, and his parents encouraged him to pursue his passion. Fouche began his musical education at the age of five, studying piano with his father. He quickly progressed and started performing in public at the age of eight. At the age of ten, he started studying the violin with his mother, and by the age of twelve, he had already won several local competitions. In 1998, Fouche was accepted into the prestigious Conservatoire de Paris, where he studied both piano and violin. He excelled in both instruments and was soon recognized as one of the most promising young musicians of his generation.
