Born into a family of musicians, the Casadesus, Thomas Enhco practiced violin and piano from childhood before moving on to composition and then improvisation at the Conservatoire National Supérieure De Musique in Paris.

Thomas Enhco released Feathers, his first solo piano album, in 2015. The album served as a transition album and introduced his classical talents to the music world. As a classical pianist, he began to perform in many concerts round the world. He recorded two albums with percussionist and mirambist Vassilena Serafimova: Funambules (2016) and Bach Mirror (2021).
