Television programs come in various forms, from news programs to reality series to competitions. BET is a channel that hosts several of these types of programs, including a Gospel music singing competition to find the best, undiscovered gospel talent in America. The series has been running from 2007 to 2015 before going on a hiatus and returning in 2019. Among the many stars to showcase their talent is Maurice Griffin, who uses his momentum to build a music career.
During the second season of BET’s Sunday Best, Maurice Griffin took a shot at the competition and found himself as a breakout star. Although he was unsuccessful in becoming that season’s winner, Griffin captured social media’s attention with his incredible vocal range and ability to get people smiling. Following his successful run, the young artist became one of the most sought-after worship leaders.
In this age where musicians are stuffing because of the music industry’s instability, Griffin has created a way to thrive. The onset of the pandemic brought back memories of a relationship that ended very badly. It was a stronghold he couldn’t shake, so he decided to write about it. Instead of writing about the situation, Griffin chose to write about self-care, which is the only thing he had control over.
As a trendsetter and influencer to today’s generation, Maurice Griffin owns a music production company called World Changing Entertainment. Through his company, Griffin released his single called “Love Peace Happiness,” which was produced and released in September 2020. Love Peace Happiness tracked more than 500,000 streams from social media and DSPs combined, excluding the 1 million combined views from the music video.
Love Peace Happiness is a song written to inspire the world to sing about hope for humanity. Music critics have described it as a catchy song that’s crossover-worthy and Motown-inspired. People who have listened have described it as a modern version of Al Green’s Love and Happiness. With a funky groove and live horns award positive vibes, Love Peace Happiness is excellent news for the mind, body, and soul, which Griffin believes is something people need in these uncertain times.
Maurice Griffin has received so many amazing responses to his song, boosting his confidence and giving him the idea that he has something exceptional. He believes the song has the potential to bring more positive energy, love, peace, and happiness back into the world. Griffin took a song that is relatable to the pandemic. Birthed from pain, people around the world are declaring this is what the world needs today — a true vaccination of hope.
While there are many other artists out there doing similar work, Griffin stands out because he always does more than expected. Singing may be what he does, but Griffin believes that a good representation of his culture is just as important. His biggest goal is to leave behind a wealth of knowledge and businesses for his family. Griffin believes that everyone needs to know their purpose so they won’t fight for a position, a belief that keeps him working on the next big thing.
