He formed the hip hop group Onde de Choc in 1994 and went on to create Funkdamtion, an artistic joint work to promote hip hop culture in Belgium. Pitcho's first album Regarde Comment was released in 2003 to critical acclaim.
His first theatre credit was in 2003 in Bintou of the Ivory by Koffie Kwahule, directed by Rosa Gasquet. He also performed in Peter Brook's Tierno Bokar (2004) and Sizwe Banzi is Dead (2007).
