Miles Mosley is an upright bassist, vocalist, composer, and producer hailed as a trailblazer in contemporary music. Known for his genre-defying style, Mosley masterfully blends jazz, rock, funk, and R&B, creating a signature sound marked by virtuosic bow work, effects pedals, and electrifying performances. The Los Angeles Times called him a "technical virtuoso," and Rolling Stone named him one of the "Top 10 New Artists You Need to Know."
A founding member of the acclaimed West Coast Get Down (WCGD) collective, Mosley has helped shape the sound of jazz from Los Angeles alongside Kamasi Washington while collaborating with iconic artists such as Kendrick Lamar (*To Pimp a Butterfly*, GNX), Lauryn Hill, Chris Cornell (*Carry On*), and Jonathan Davis (Korn). His solo album *UPRISING* debuted at #4 on the Billboard Contemporary Jazz Chart, earned praise from NPR, and sparked sold-out tours around the globe.
Beyond the stage, Mosley is a prolific composer, scoring for major studios like Disney, Netflix, and Warner Brothers. His work has earned industry accolades, including a Golden Trailer nomination for Disney's The Muppets and recognition from MTV for best trailer music.
With a dynamic career spanning high-profile collaborations and groundbreaking solo projects, Miles Mosley continues to redefine what's possible with the upright bass, cementing his place as one of music’s most innovative voices.
