Released on August 1, 2019, and produced by Windham Hill Records founder, Will Ackerman, the twelve track concept album depicts a musical journey out of Atlantis. The song genres range from Jazz, New Age, Folk, and Indian influences. Music from the album was played on radio stations worldwide.

The album was also a finalist in the International Acoustic Music Awards for Best Concept Album and the track, “Dolphin Song” was a finalist in Hollywood Music Awards for Best Contemporary Acoustic Instrumental song.

While a student at Berkley College of Music, Mr. Mosby began studying Jazz improv. and Classical Music Composition. This led to 13 years of private study with Ustadt Imrat Khan in Classical North Indian music. Mosby became the only guitarist ever admitted into the Imdhad Khani Gharana, India’s most prestigious family of musicians. This sparked the creation of the Imrat guitar [a 20 stringed hybrid sitar guitar musical bridge instrument that allows Western musicians to access Eastern melodies and Eastern musicians to access Western harmonies for the first time] leading to this genre’s incorporation of new music into the next generation of musicians.

Mr. Mosby is currently working on a new album which will be called, ‘Aeriel Views’ and is due to be released in late August 2020.
