Life and career

Miles Mosley was trained in classical music and jazz at Colburn School of Music in downtown L.A and studies with some of jazz's finest such as John Clayton, Ray Brown and Al McKibbon. He claims he picked the upright bass since it was the only instrument at his school that he did not have to bring home with him. Mosley's style have often been described as brothel jazz, Mosley himself describes it as if Jimi Hendrix played upright bass in Prince's band.

Throughout the years Mosley has written and composed, performed live or appeared in videos for various artists including Chris Cornell, Jonathan Davis, Everlast, Terrence Howard, Joni Mitchell, Lauryn Hill, Gnarls Barkley, Jeff Beck, Common, Christina Aguilera, Lesa Carlson and many others.

Mosley has also released a number of albums containing his own solo work as well as working for charitable causes, specifically the Creative Counseling Network, a non-profit organization that provides under-served young people access to the arts.
