Local Stories

Today we’d like to introduce you to Maurico.

Hi Maurico, we’re thrilled to have a chance to learn your story today. So, before we get into specifics, maybe you can briefly walk us through how you got to where you are today?
I’m Maurico—an independent hip-hop artist on a mission to make music that motivates, heals, and inspires. Every song I create comes from real experiences, faith, and the desire to help people become their best selves.

Through my Better Music, Better Life movement, I’m building more than a brand—I’m creating a lifestyle. My goal is to help people grow mentally, spiritually, and physically through music that pushes them to stay disciplined, find peace, and walk in purpose.

For me, it’s simple: change the music, change the mindset, change the life.

Can you talk to us a bit about the challenges and lessons you’ve learned along the way. Looking back would you say it’s been easy or smooth in retrospect?
Being an independent artist isn’t easy. I’ve faced a lot of challenges along the way—financial struggles, lack of resources, and the constant pressure of having to do everything myself. I’m not just the artist. I’m the owner, the content creator, the marketer, and the visionary behind it all.

There are times when it’s hard to stay passionate—when the odds feel stacked against me and success doesn’t always look promising. But I keep going, because I didn’t choose this path for fame. I became an entrepreneur to buy back my time, to build freedom, and to fund my purpose.

I come from poverty. I didn’t grow up with the tools or connections to thrive—I had to learn how to make something out of nothing. That’s why my mission means so much to me. Even if nobody else fully understands it, I push forward because I believe Better Music, Better Life isn’t just a slogan—it’s my purpose. It’s about making an impact, inspiring others, and proving that faith and perseverance can turn struggle into strength.

Thanks – so what else should our readers know about your work and what you’re currently focused on?
I’m an independent hip-hop artist, songwriter, producer, and entrepreneur on a mission to inspire growth and purpose through music. My brand—Better Music, Better Life—blends real-life experiences, faith, and motivation into songs that uplift and empower.

I’ve released over 40 songs independently and have written and produced for numerous rock artists, R&B artists, and other rap artists, bringing creativity and vision to every project.

I’m proud of building my career from the ground up and staying true to my purpose despite the odds. I don’t prefer doing everything myself, but I’m willing to take on every role when necessary to make my vision a reality.

What sets me apart is authenticity: I’m not chasing trends—I create music that helps people grow, motivates action, and inspires positive change.

What would you say have been one of the most important lessons you’ve learned?
The most important lesson I’ve learned is the power of belief and faith. What you truly believe in shapes your reality—it influences your perspective, how you feel, and what you see as possible. Without taking the time to draw close to God and build faith, pursuing your purpose can feel like a path not worth walking.

Creativity itself requires bringing something into existence that previously didn’t exist—it takes faith and vision to see it through. That’s why putting God first is essential. He is the ultimate Creator, and by learning from Him, we discover how we should create, live, and pursue our purpose.
