Rock Academy began in Melbourne in 2015 when Phil Ceberano teamed up with the amazing Ash Davies to take 15 teen musos through their paces.
We were first inspired by Rock School Melbourne whose founders moved to China and we just couldn’t let the opportunity go.
The impact on the individuals is incredible, we see an increase in confidence, collaboration and teamwork skills, networking, playing and performance.
Phil Ceberano is a multi-talented entertainment industry professional with over 30 years of experience as a musician, entertainer, TV presenter, producer, songwriter, musical director, and composer.
He is widely recognized as one of Australia’s greatest guitarists and has achieved success both locally and internationally.
In 1985, Phil joined forces with his sister Kate Ceberano, and together they achieved great success, with Kate’s triple platinum-selling debut solo album “Brave” leading the way. Phil and Kate’s partnership has continued to thrive over the years.
In addition to his work as a performer and band leader, Phil also leads the creativity at Flourish PR, a firm he co-founded with his wife Angela over a decade ago.
With his diverse skills and experience, Phil is a valuable asset to any project or team.
