Social Media info (include where possible):

Fouché attended college at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) where he earned degrees in physics and chemical engineering. As a college junior in 2006, Fouché began to tour and record with Christian Scott aTunde Adjuah’s band while balancing his academic responsibilities. Fouché graduated from MIT in 2007 and decided to pursue his passion in music.

Fouché has performed in 20+ countries on 6 continents with artists in various genres, including the legendary Latin pianist Eddie Palmieri, Late Show bandleader and piano virtuoso Jon Batiste, trumpet luminaries Christian Scott aTunde Adjuah and Brian Lynch, innovative funk bassist George Porter Jr. of the Meters, Grammy-winning singer/songwriter Gordon Chambers, and many others.

In December of 2012, Fouché independently released his first recording as a bandleader entitled Subjective Mind. This recording is a reflection of his unique background and explores the relationship between his objective, analytical focus in science and his subjective, spiritual emphasis in music. Subjective Mind was the #1 new jazz release on Amazon.com and #1 most requested on WRTI Philadelphia and has received radio play internationally.
