In celebration of her chart-topping success, Maurette Brown Clark stopped by the Kelly Clarkson Show to deliver a powerful and uplifting performance of her #1 song, “I See Good.” Maurette is currently featured in the March/April issue of Revo Magazine.
“Talk about a monumental week! Not only my first national daytime television appearance ever [on the Kelly Clarkson show] but doing it the same week that “I See Good” makes it to the top of the Billboard Gospel Singles Chart! So amazing! A couple of years ago I was contemplating moving away from music, but to have this all happen shows you what God can still do with a “yes”. I’m so grateful! Thanking my team for all their hard work. Let’s keep going! I see good!” shares Maurette.
Maurette Brown Clark’s voice is one that sneaks up on you. It steals into your soul and, before you know it, you’re feeling everything she’s feeling. Her epistles of hope and encouragement are so indelibly linked to your own story that you can’t shake them, even if you tried. But you don’t want to.
“I See Good” was written by multiple award winning artist Anthony Brown (Anthony Brown and group therAPy) and produced by Kenneth Shelton for KenHe Music. “I’m an encourager. Just like God encourages us with his Word, his promises, and his love. He sees us whole. He sees us healed. He sees us delivered from sin. He sets us free from everything that may be holding us down – even if it’s ourselves. So this message is one that everyone can grab a hold of. I am hopeful that it will encourage more than just the Christian community, but people across every spectrum of the world,” mentions Maurette.
About Maurette Brown Clark
Maurette Brown Clark’s voice is one that sneaks up on you. It steals into your soul and, before you know it, you’re feeling everything she’s feeling. Her epistles of hope and encouragement are so indelibly linked to your own story that you can’t shake them, even if you tried. But you don’t want to.
That’s why Maurette is known as the “Princess of Praise & Worship.” Her new #1 Billboard Gospel song, “I See Good,” was written by Anthony Brown, is currently impacting the radio world. “My prayer, she said, “is for all of my songs to encourage people today and five, ten, twenty years from now.”
Originally from Long Island, New York, she joined her father and three siblings in their family gospel group, the Brown Singers and together they performed throughout the greater New York area. Maurette also studied classical piano and sang in church choirs and choruses, continuing to hone her musical skills.
After having graduated from University of Maryland with a bachelor’s degree in business administration, she answered the call to music ministry. Maurette launched her music career by writing songs, recording demos, and singing solos around the DMV area, where she caught the attention of other gospel artists. She sang with the Keyth Lee Singers and recorded with Rev. Timothy Wright, the Wilmington-Chester Mass Choir, and Daniel Winans. However, it wasn’t until she recorded with Richard Smallwood & Vision that the record industry really took notice.
Maurette’s solo on “Angels,” from Richard Smallwood & Vision’s 1996 Adoration: Live in Atlanta, (which also included the classic “Total Praise”) so impressed the record company, Verity Records, that they signed her to a solo contract. Her debut album, How I Feel (1998), and its single, “Breaking of Day,” earned her a 2000 Stellar Award for Best New Artist.
Maurette is often compared to Roberta Flack because of her confident, laidback approach. “I like to take the time to paint a picture. I like to set that kind of atmosphere in a song,” she said. She cites Donnie McClurkin among her singing inspirations. Fittingly, with Marvin Sapp, Daryl Coley, and Helen Baylor, Maurette received a Dove nomination for her participation on the 2008 remake of McClurkin’s “Stand.”
After Verity, Maurette signed with Atlanta International Records (AIR), where she released By His Grace (2002), The Dream (2007), and The Sound of Victory (2011). By His Grace received a Gospel Music Workshop of America Gospel Excellence Award and earned for her a Stellar Award nomination. The Dream was a landmark live recording. First, it produced the gospel radio hits “One God” and “It Ain’t Over (Until God Says It’s Over).” Second, it handed Maurette her second Stellar Award, for Praise & Worship CD of the Year, in 2009. Third, her daughter Jada earned a Stellar that same year for her performance of “I Am What God Says I Am,” also from The Dream. Subsequent singles “King Oh King” (2015) and “I Want God” (2019) garnered top Gospel single success as well.
“He Loves Me,” was released in late 2023, to rave reviews. The album features Maurette’s second #1 song, “I See Good” and has been released under her Nettie’s Child Music label imprint, with MNRK Nashville, handling distribution and promotion. “I began this project with the intent of doing one song, then it turned into an EP, and then an album of eight tracks.”
“My ultimate purpose is to reach somebody,” Maurette Brown Clark said. “If I can’t do that, I told God I’ll sit down and be quiet. I want to do whatever it is He wants me to do to touch people’s lives.”
