After being mentored by Quincy Jones, Herbie Hancock, Wayne Shorter, and Jimmy Heath at the Thelonious Monk Institute, and Darren Barrett at Berklee College of Music, he has since worked with Gerald Clayton, Ben Wendel, Terri-Lyne Carrington, Buster Williams, and is featured on recordings with Mark Turner, Kendrick Scott, Miguel Zenon.

As a bandleader Moullier has released five albums, one of which was nominated in the “Best New Jazz Artist” category at the Jazz Music Award in 2022. In 2023, he was recognized for his participation as an arranger on Terri-Lyne Carrington’s GRAMMY-Award winning New Standards Vol. 1, followed by another GRAMMY-Award recognition for his participation in Laufey’s Bewitched.
