Tony Prochazka pursued a non-conformist training in both medicine and music. He interrupted his medical career to study Jazz Guitar at the VCA, having played Cello with the Australian Youth Orchestra during his schooling. He studied Classical Cello in Germany and London before building a successful career in cosmetic surgery.

QUOTES

“By the end of it I was just sold on music and that was really my awakening I guess at just how fantastic it could be.”

“I just remember we had some conversations, my parents and I. I said I would like to be a musician, they said it’s a hard life there’s no guarantees.” 

“The idea of the arc of a musical phrase is very similar to the idea of the construction of the face, or the balance of the face.”
