After completing his Bachelor of Music at Melbourne University in his early 20s, Michael Rochford has continued to perform in a range of musical settings.

Extensive playing in small and large jazz groups, tours with orchestras and international rock / cabaret acts and performances on all the major television stations has helped broaden his musical horizons.

Michael currently teaches at Australia's largest musical institute: Northern Melbourne Institute of Tafe, as well as continuing to perform regularly around Melbourne.

Michael is endorsed by Pearl Drums.
