While listening to him sing at a very young age, his parents decide to enroll him in music classes. As a child, he studies classical guitar. As a teenager, he moves on to electric guitar and flamenco. He continuously explores and improves his voice, first on his own and later on stage with other musicians.

Composing then becomes an additional way of expressing himself. Another outlet for more personal feelings. He dedicates himself to this new form of expression aimed at deeply exploring genuine human emotions.

After a while, the desire of an unknown "out there" and for renewal, leads him to England. To Liverpool with its sharp contrasts. A mythical town for music. The Mersey River. The Pier Head. A touch of Ireland.

Refocusing. Listening to inner voices. New feelings.

The Piano. New strings. The words are looking for meanings. Wander. Fade completely and....

Rougge is born. The strings of the piano and of the voice blend from there on in as a delicate roar. An ethereal voice free of words, of sentences. A voice that targets a pure emotional state.

A unique mix of sounds ranging from classical to rock, to contemporary music. A singular and carnal expressiveness.

Towards the end of 2007, Rougge returns home and creates his first album Fragments. Recorded and mixed between France and England, Fragments is warmly welcomed by music critics in various, major European web magazines. This positive momentum leads to a contract between Rougge and the French publisher Volvox Music who hear in the 11 fragments (the 11 songs of the album), "ambitious, captivating music".

Collaborations soon follow with two painters Isabelle Szlachta and Robbin Milne. They extract a powerful creative energy from Rougge's music leading both to new artistic creations as well as an audio-visual project.

In 2009, Parisian stage director Clément Saunier hears in Rougge's music a great inspiration for directing his play "La Fellation du Diable". Rougge then adapts several "Fragments" for Saunier's production and a theatrical collaboration is established.

An encounter with his peers, Marc Vella, "the World travelling concert pianist", and his friend Marko Meles, concert pianist and graduate from the Belgrade Conservatory, slowly leads Rougge towards the stage and live performance: first in May 2009 with 10 concerts together named "Glassovir" at the "Petit Théâtre dans La Ville" in Nancy and from 2010 onwards, on stage for a Solo performance. It is here that Rougge's musical colour reaches its intensity.
