After 15 years of maneuvering the obstacle course of the modern-day music industry, Vancouver's JP Maurice has finally arrived at a place of complete control and confidence in his craft. Earnest, indie-pop beginnings have evolved into a more mature, polished sound. Sweeping melodies are punctuated by JP’s powerful vocal range expressing evocative lyrics of love, loss and overcoming hardship.

I write and perform the tunes.
