Felix Moseholm (b. 1997) is a compelling young double bassist with a international presence. He has already toured with a wide range of respected artists, including Brad Mehldau, Samara Joy, Sean Mason, the Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra with Wynton Marsalis, Jeff "Tain" Watts, Frank Lacy, Victor Lewis, Billy Drummond, and Jorge Rossy.
Raised in an artistic household, Felix was surrounded by creativity from an early age. He began studying cello as a young child and, after ten formative years, transitioned to the double bass—encouraged by his granduncle Erik Moseholm, a notable bassist known for his work with Eric Dolphy, Don Byas, and others.
At the age of 18, after playing professionally in Denmark for a few years, Felix moved to New York City. There, he studied under the mentorship of Gerald Cannon, Ben Wolfe, and George Coleman while earning both his bachelor’s and master’s degrees from The Juilliard School (2018–2023).
