Quincy Jones has called Moullier "the greatest vibraphonist I have ever heard." Herbie Hancock acknowledges that he "had never heard vibraphone played like that."

Born in Paris in 1994, Simon Moullier picked up clubs for the first time in high school. He immediately stood out as an original and virtuoso instrumentalist. Trained in classical percussion, he completed his studies in the US, at the Berklee College of Music and the Thelonious Monk Institute, during a period in which he shared the stage with figures such as Herbie Hancock, Wayne Shorter, John Patitucci, Miguel Zenón and Jimmy Heath, and participated in recordings by Mark Turner and Kendrick Scott. In 2020 he made his solo debut with the album Spirit Song, and in 2021 he released, as a trio, the CD Countdown (Fresh Sound). At Mas i Mas he will present the third album of his career, Isla (2023). Recorded as a quartet, he is inspired, as he tells Jazz Speaks, by the landscape and rugged nature of Breton Island.
