He was the eighth child of Pietro Antonio Fiocco (1653-1714) and Jeanne Françoise Deudon. Nothing is known of his early years. From to 1731 he was sous- maitre at the royal chapel. He resigned in August 1731 to accept the post of sangmeester (choirmaster) at Antwerp Cathedral, succeeding Willem De Fesch in a post he held until 1737. Then he returned to Brussels to serve as sangmeester of the collegiate church of St Michel and Ste Gudule following the death of Petrus Hercules Brehy. He held this post until his premature death four years later. As a composer, he was mainly active as a church composer writing masses, motets, psalms and other sacred pieces. He also left a collection of ’Pieces de clavecin’ (2 suites of 12 pieces each) which demonstrate the strong influence of French School. His brother Jean-Joseph Fiocco (1686-1746) was also organist and composer.
