Born in 1961 in the city of Nantes, Rouger showed an early interest in music and began playing the piano at the age of six. He went on to study at the Conservatoire National de Région de Nantes, where he received a diploma in piano performance. After completing his studies, Rouger began his career as a pianist, performing in concerts throughout France and Europe. He quickly gained a reputation for his virtuosic playing and his ability to interpret a wide range of musical styles. In addition to his work as a pianist, Rouger also began conducting orchestras and choirs, and he soon became known for his skill as a conductor as well. One of Rouger's early highlights as a musician came in 1987, when he won the prestigious International Piano Competition in Senigallia, Italy. This victory helped to launch his career as a soloist, and he began to receive invitations to perform with orchestras and at music festivals around the world. Over the years, Rouger has performed with many of the world's leading orchestras, including the London Symphony Orchestra, the Berlin Philharmonic, and the New York Philharmonic. He has also collaborated with some of the most renowned conductors of our time, including Claudio Abbado, Daniel Barenboim, and Simon Rattle.

His compositions have been performed by many of the world's leading musicians, and he has received numerous commissions from organizations such as the BBC and the Paris Opera. One of Rouger's most notable achievements as a composer came in 2005, when he was commissioned to write a piece for the opening ceremony of the World Games in Duisburg, Germany. His composition, titled "Fanfare for the World Games," was performed by a brass ensemble of over 100 musicians and was broadcast to millions of viewers around the world. Throughout his career, Rouger has received many awards and honors for his contributions to classical music. In 1998, he was awarded the Chevalier de l'Ordre des Arts et des Lettres by the French government in recognition of his artistic achievements.
