Maurice Moore

Maurice Moore is a Canadian R&B singer, songwriter, and producer from Ottawa who represents the modern 'triple-threat' archetype. Emerging from the Tsunami Mob collective alongside Kehlani, Moore's sound identity is built on a foundation of technical self-sufficiency; he began building his own studio at age 14.

His music occupies the space between mainstream pop-R&B and the more experimental 'alt-R&B' scene, characterized by high-fidelity production, intricate vocal arrangements, and a seamless blend of singing and melodic rap. His career arc shows a transition from a highly-recruited athlete to a sought-after songwriter for major labels, eventually solidifying his solo presence with projects like 'The Amber Room'. Critically, he is noted for his 'Black Canadian' perspective, contributing to the global 'Toronto Sound' while maintaining a distinct, brighter melodic palette compared to the murkier textures of his peers. His influence web connects the soulful songwriting of Trey Songz to the electronic-forward production of the SoundCloud era.
