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.
With a passion for video game music, I started transcribe, arrange, and sometimes compose a variety of music for the guitar and have been performing on my YouTube Channel since October, 2021. I have arranged and recorded works from acclaimed Japanese composers like Masayoshi Soken, Koichi Sugiyama, Yasunori Nishiki, Yasuaki Iwata, and many others. I've published 19 full length album and 3 EPs as of March, 2025, with more than 200 original guitar arrangements that aim to popularize classical guitar among young people and celebrate the creative spirits from Asia.
