He studied Fine Art at Chelsea School of Art and Reading University where he was a co-founder of The Moodies, a performance-art /cabaret group which included Anne Bean. After touring with The Moodies and appearing in two films in Germany, Rod joined Kilburn and the High Roads, the band of Ian Dury. The band recorded two singles and an album Handsome which included two compositions by Rod in collaboration with Dury. After the band's demise, Ian and Rod continued writing and this work produced "England's Glory" recorded by Max Wall and "What a Waste", later recorded by Ian and The Blockheads which became Ian's first Top Ten hit. As well as playing on Brian Eno's albums Another Green World, Music For Films and Nerve Net, Melvin has worked with performers such as Lindsay Kemp, Evelyn Kunneke, and Immodesty Blaize and has continued his work as a live pianist and singer in many different venues. More recent work has included live accompaniment of incidental music for several productions at the National Theater and collaboration with film director Peter Richardson on several films such as Stella Street (2004), The Hollywood Years (2004) and TV commercials, some of his music was also used in Sex & Drugs & Rock & Roll (2010).
