Hi! My name is Maurice “Mori” Liu (刘颂源) and I'm a classical guitarist. Born in 1994, I was born and raised in Fuzhou, China.
I started learning guitar in highschool, mostly self-taught by attending various international guitar festivals throughout China during 2012-2015. In 2016, I briefly studied with Guillem Pérez-Quer, who helped shaping my style of playing greatly. In 2020, I graduated from New England Conservatory of Music with honors and completed my Master’s Degree and Graduate Diploma in guitar performance with Eliot Fisk, who is the last direct pupil of Andrés Segovia.
My passion for video game music led me to transcribing, arranging, and composing for guitar, and I have been performing on my YouTube Channel since October, 2021. I have arranged and recorded over 200 original arrangements of music from acclaimed Japanese composers including Nobuo Uematsu, Masayoshi Soken, Koichi Sugiyama, Yasunori Nishiki, and Yasuaki Iwata. As of May 2025, my discography includes 20 full-length album and 3 EPs, featuring music from video game franchises such as Final Fantasy, Dragon Quest, Animal Crossing, and others.
