Felix Moseholm
Felix Moseholm b 9/9-1997 in Copenhagen, Denmark, is one of the exciting voices on the double bass today. While he is best known for his work with Brad Mehldau, Samara Joy and Sean Mason, he enjoys working with a wide range of artists covering many different musical styles.
Felix musical background is rooted in an early encounter with the classical cello repertoire. After playing the cello for 10 formative years he was encouraged to make the switch to double bass by his granduncle Erik Moseholm (bass player w. Don Byas, Eric Dolphy etc.)
At age 18, after a few years of playing professionally in Denmark, Felix decided to move to New York fueled by curiosity and a desire to learn about American culture and music in its birthplace.
In New York, Felix received mentorship by Gerald Cannon and George Coleman among others, while earning his bachelor’s and master’s degree from Juilliard (2018-2023). He quickly integrated into the local scene as he began performing regularly in and around the city while keeping up with his schoolwork at Juilliard.
