A nearly ubiquitous drummer producer, and composer based in the U.K., he leads Polar Bear and co-founded Oriole and Acoustic Ladlyland.

Sebastian "Seb" Rochford is a drummer, lyricist, producer, and composer based in the U.K. A first-call session musician, he has worked with dozens of artists ranging from Brigitte Fontaine and Brian Eno to Theo Girard and Rokia Traore.
