Naomi Raine and Chandler Moore Announce Departure Via Social Media

Both artists released statements on social media, revealing their decisions to exit the group after emphasizing that they will continue to make solo music outside of Maverick City Music.

Naomi Raine stated on her social media post,

“After a lot of prayer and consideration, I’ve decided that now is the best time to share that I am no longer a part of Maverick City Music. Being a part of Mav truly changed my life! What started as a group of folks singing in a shed has turned into something I could’ve never even imagined!…And now I believe God has given me the green light to step into what He’s calling me to do individually. Still writing. Still singing. Still worshipping and leading others in worship – just on my own…this isn’t really an ending, but a new beginning. A new chapter. I’m excited about the music, the ministry, and the purpose ahead. God’s not done yet.”

Moore wrote on social media,

“These last two years I’ve been locked in on what really matters…in my life and my career. It’s been scary at times, but it’s also been full of fresh vision and real excitement about the future. With that, I’ve made the bittersweet decision to end my relationship with Maverick City Music. When we started Mav, I was grateful to have community and belonging while fulfilling my dream of making music that would help people experience God. And we did that…in ways I couldn’t have imagined.”

Moore also expressed gratitude to several people who have been crucial to the group’s mission.

“This transition isn’t easy. Maverick is something I poured my heart into, so it’s almost like saying goodbye to your own kid.” He also added, “My dream hasn’t changed. I’m stepping into this next phase ready to share my story and make music that helps people feel a little more human, a little more understood, and a little less alone.”
