Moses Boyd is a British drummer, composer, and producer who has become a formidable presence in the contemporary jazz scene. Born in London, Boyd has cultivated a sound that seamlessly melds the energetic rhythms of his drumming with elements of electronic music, Afrobeat, and London's dynamic soundscape. With a music education from Trinity Laban Conservatoire of Music and Dance, where he studied under the tutelage of drummer Bobby Dodsworth, Boyd has honed his craft to a high level of artistry.

Boyd's rise to prominence came with a slew of critically acclaimed releases that demonstrate his versatility and innovation within the genre. His album "Dark Matter," which includes tracks such as "Stranger Than Fiction" and "Shades of You," skillfully bridges the gap between jazz and other music traditions, contributing to the genre's ongoing evolution. His collaborative works are also notable, such as the project "Displaced Diaspora," which embodies the vibrant energy of London's diverse musical heritage. With numerous accolades to his name, including the MOBO Award for Best Jazz Act and the John Peel 'Play More Jazz’ Award from Gilles Peterson's Worldwide Awards, Moses Boyd continues to push boundaries and introduce fresh, genre-defying sounds to the global music landscape.
