Enhco comes from a musical family: he is a grandson of the conductor Jean-Claude Casadesus , son of the soprano Caroline Casadesus and brother of the jazz pianist Thomas Enhco . At the age of three he began to occupy himself with music; after percussion and piano he learned to play the trumpet at the age of five. He completed a classical music education with Pascal Clarhaut (solo trumpeter at the Opéra de Paris ) and received jazz lessons at the Center des Musiques improvisées from Didier Lockwood with Claude Egéa , Jean Gobinet , André Villéger , Benoît Sourisse , André Charlier and Didier Lockwood.

At the age of 16 Enhco appeared as a professional musician, from the mid-2000s he worked in the French jazz scene a. a. with Didier Lockwood ( Pour Stéphane ), in the band of his brother Thomas. In the 2010s he was active in the Amazing Keystone Big Band (album Peter and the Wolf and Jazz!, 2013) and also worked with Cécile McLorin Salvant and in the Fred Nardin / Jon Boutellier Quartet ( Watt’s , 2013). In 2013 he released his debut album La Horde ( Cristal Records ), followed by Layers (Nome, 2014) and Horizons (Nome, 2017), with Roberto Negro (piano), Florent Nisse (bass) and Gautier Garrigue (drums). He also worked with Michel Portal in the 2010s ; In 2011 he realized the multimedia project Les Diables Verts with Marie-Claude Pietragalla .

The Mainzer Allgemeine Zeitung praised Enhco's ability "to climb into the high notes" apparently effortlessly [...] when playing the trumpet "; he "impresses with soft solos as well as powerfully attacking interactions with his partners."
