After deleting his social media presence six months ago, Maverick City Music’s Chandler Moore has posted a brief video hinting at where he’s been and where he’s going.
“The last five years have been very intense,” Moore said. “This journey has had its ups and downs took. I some time away to focus on being a better father and husband.
“If I were to call it an evolution of what people know me as, I feel like I would be cheapening what God is really done in me,” he continued. “I believe the music I’m working on now is really honest and it’s going to free a lot of people.”
Moore, who co-founded Maverick City back in 2019, also teased that he may be leaving the worship collective. This isn’t an unexpected move from Moore, considering last year he spoke about creating different music that fans don’t expect from him. Instead of traditional worship songs, he said, he wanted to create songs that explore faith from a different perspective.
“I think it’s cool that we believe in a Bible, life manual, that covers everything from relationships and sex to spirituality and prophecy,” Moore said in April 2023. “It shows us that though life is multi-dimensional, it should still be centered around Christ.
“On a mission to produce & create more music from that perspective,” he continued. “Music that the world can sing along to, and while they’re singing it, God uses it to sneak into the heart of the listener to do what He wants. Music that I can sing about my love for my wife, the same love that glorifies God. I want music about life and love that has a perspective that is safe for my kids who love God to listen to.”
After that, Moore continued to work with Maverick City, releasing new music in the summer and briefly touring with the band in the fall. For the last six months, however, Moore has remained offline and out of the spotlight.
So what’s next for Moore? Moore concludes his video cryptically, saying, “The question of if I am leaving Maverick City is a real question.”
Maverick City has not commented on Moore’s membership status. However, they did drop three new singles and music videos where Moore is noticably not present.
