Billy Mohler is a GRAMMY-nominated bassist, composer, and multi-instrumentalist whose fearless creativity bridges jazz, pop, and beyond. A Berklee graduate and alumnus of the Thelonious Monk Institute of Jazz, he studied with legends like Herbie Hancock and Terence Blanchard before launching a career that’s taken him from sessions with icons such as Ringo Starr, Lady Gaga, Dolly Parton, Nile Rodgers, and Sia, to producing, songwriting, and scoring film and national campaigns.
With his own quartet, Mohler has released acclaimed albums including Focus (2019), Anatomy (2022), Ultraviolet (2023), and The Eternal (2024), praised for their energy and innovation by DownBeat and JazzTimes. In 2025, the group headlined premier venues across Europe, and Mohler was named a Rising Star Bassist in DownBeat’s Critics Poll.
From collaborations with artists across genres to leading adventurous projects of his own, Mohler continues to shape music with imagination and vision.
The Creative Music series at Motivo LA focuses on artists who value listening as a fundamental part of their creative process, presenting music that transcends the boundaries of genre. Utilizing the warm and intimate space, artists and audience come together, building a community that is founded on artistic substance, sincere connection, and meaningful creation.
With the audience encircling the artists in the center of the space, the series is open to all ages.
