Declan Sheehy-Moss is a genre-bending multi-instrumentalist, producer, composer, and mixed-media artist born and raised in New York City. Dipping his fingers (and ears) in everything, Declan blends jazz, pop, funk, electronic, and more to produce a searing fusion of sound.
Declan’s digital production and recording skills along with his instrumental and technical prowess combine to create a digital and acoustic mix, supported by analog synths, EWI, and the other quirky instruments assembled at his home studio in Brooklyn, NY.
Since 2017 Declan has since written, produced, recorded, mixed, and released 8 singles and two EPs, also working as a sideman for numerous other artists’ records and live shows such as Redveil, Henry Threadgill, Cisco Swank, Khal!l, Talia Goddess, Twinbrother, and many more. Declan has also performed at a number of renowned venues in the US, such as BAM, The Jazz Gallery, Newport Jazz Fest, Symphony Space, Monterey Jazz Fest, and more.
Declan wears many hats, as he is currently the musical assistant for Henry Threadgill and Amina Claudine-Myers. Working on both the clerical and performative sides, Declan has worked closely with Threadgill as a part of “One”, “The Other One”, and “Listen Ship”.
Declan is currently working on new music!

"...tenorist Declan Sheehy-Moss - who weave their free blowing style with a strong sense of melody. Yet, and this is particularly noticeable when we hear the saxophonist, the phrases are eked out with effective inside and outside routines." (Jazz Trail)
