Bio & Facts

Maurice is an outlaw country singer-songwriter who blends country and R&B into something that stops people mid-stride. From foster care to American Idol to sharing the stage with Morgan Wallen, he built his fanbase one street corner at a time — no label, no machine, just a voice and his songs.

Maurice grew up in foster care, group homes, and juvenile detention, where music found him early — guitar, piano, trombone, whatever he could get his hands on. He writes, produces, and performs everything himself, blending country and R&B into something that doesn't have a name yet but stops people mid-stride.

He took his talents to the only stage that would have him: the street. Crosswalk concerts and sidewalk shows across the country built his fanbase one city at a time. He's shared the stage with Morgan Wallen, turned heads on American Idol, and racked up over 21 million views from strangers gathering on random street corners to hear him play. His fans — Da Kinfolks — vote on where he goes next, and he shows up.

He took his talents to the only stage that would have him: the street. He performed crosswalk concerts and sidewalk shows across the country, building a fanbase one city at a time. No label. No machine. Just a voice, his songs, and a crowd that wasn't there five minutes ago.

He's shared the stage with Morgan Wallen, turned heads on American Idol, and racked up more than 21 million views from strangers gathering on random street corners to hear him play. His fans — Da Kinfolks — vote on where he goes next, and he shows up. His Country Like This EP is out now, alongside The Last Outlaw mixtape.

Maurice doesn't wait to be discovered. He walks outside and plays. He knows where he came from, and his faith continues to pull him through. He plays for every kid who needs to see that a rough start isn't a sentence: if he turned his story into this, they can turn theirs into anything.
