About me

My name is Mihai Moldoveanu. I’m a 38 year old, self-taught electric bass player living in Timișoara, Romania. I started playing bass in 2003, and since 2008 I have been regularly playing and touring with several Romanian bands and artists, having an experience of over 600 concerts in almost 20 years of activity. In 2017 and 2022 the Jazz Banat Cultural Foundation gave me the “Bass player of the Year” award.

I played in the past with Alexandrina and dordeduh, and currently I play with JazzyBIT, UrmaAmalia Gaiță, Sunset in the 12th House and Paperjam, the improvised music event founded by me in 2012. Alongside with JazzyBIT, dordeduh, Sunset in the 12th House and Urma I played many concerts abroad, including the festivals Blue Note (USA), Jarasum Jazz (South Korea), Hellfest (France), Wacken (Germany), Sziget (Hungary) or Exit (Serbia).

With JazzyBIT we released three albums in the first 10 years of activity, currently counting almost 300 concerts in 17 countries on three continents.

Even though my musical roots are rock, I enjoy playing a variety of musical styles – from loud rock and metal to mellow jazz or electronic music. If you want to work with me, I will be on time and come prepared, playing every single note with the same enthusiasm.

My favorite bass players are Michael League, Tim Lefebvre, Pino Palladino, Paul Turner and Stuart Zender. I’m inspired by musicians like Tosin Abasi, Mikael Åkerfeldt, Ola Englund, Dave Grohl, Mark Guiliana, John Mayer and Steven Wilson.
