Born in Bogotá, he chose music at an early age, studying music formally at institutions such as Javeriana University in Bogota and Berklee College of Music in Boston.
Fonseca's self-titled debut gained him considerable attention in Colombia.
In his youth he studied in Colegio los Nogales and then he passed to Gimnasio Campestre.
Fonseca's interest in music began at a young age.
In fact, when he was just twelve years old, he recorded a song and had 500 copies made to distribute among his friends and family.
His parents recognized his talent and encouraged him to pursue his passion.
Fonseca studied music at the Pontificia Universidad Javeriana (Bogotá) and at the Berklee College of Music (Boston), where he developed not only his musical talent but also the tools needed to navigate through the competitive world of performance.
Prior to the release of his first album, Fonseca was a member of the rock band Baroja, which was well known on the Bogotá club scene.
After graduation from college, he recorded his first album titled Bomba de Tiempo that he sold door-to-door, showing the album to patrons at small bars, and eventually selling 500 copies.
Fonseca was searching for a record label when he found the Colombian musician José Gaviria and helped him in an initial recording with Sonolux in United States in 1997.
The project stayed up in the air until 2002 when he signed with Líderes Entertainment Group, a label of EMI Capitol to produce his three upcoming albums.
