JP Maurice & The Sweet Angels

Artist Website

After fifteen years navigating the obstacle course of the modern music industry, Vancouver’s JP Maurice has reached a place of clear creative confidence. What began as earnest indie-pop has evolved into a more refined, fully realized sound, where sweeping melodies pair with a powerful vocal range and lyrics that explore love, loss and resilience.

His latest release, Pressure Makes Diamonds, reflects years of careful craft and reveals the depth of his songwriting sensibilities. The album marks his fifth studio project, following the alt-country-leaning rock record Boys (2018) and the moody, pop-noir standout Girls (2017). Pressure showcases JP’s strengths as a vocalist and guides listeners through a dynamic landscape, from soaring, resonant highs to driving, textured melodies that hint at shoegaze within a pop-folk frame.
