Motown Maurice.[1][2] is an American actor, comedian, entrepreneur, and late night talk show host. After graduating from Florida A&M University with a degree in broadcast journalism, he relocated back to his hometown Tampa, FL and established his own video/photography business. Throughout the duration of his business Motown created several community focused events and projects. Those projects assisted Motown with the realization of his destiny, which is to become a nationally syndicated late night talk show host. Motown's journey into the late night arena launched on January 23, 2010 in Tampa, FL with the premiere of The Motown Maurice Show[3]. The success of The Motown Maurice Show earned him a key to the city of Tampa from Mayor Pam Iorio. Later that year, Motown relocated to Los Angeles, CA to begin his professional acting career. Since then, Motown has appeared in handful of films, reality shows and several music videos. His most prized creation is his semi-autobiographical web series entitled, The Late Night Experiment with Motown Maurice[4][5]. In 2018, his popularity increased dramatically due to his break out role in the Lionsgate[6] cult classic Snake Outta Compton.[7][8][9][10]

Early Life[edit]

Motown Maurice was born in Crown Heights Brooklyn, New York to West Indian parents[11]. His father is from Haiti and his mother is from Grenada. He has one half brother on his mom's side but they grew up separately. Motown had a sheltered upbringing and he attended a private school called St. Marks Day School[12] kindergarten through half of seventh grade. Motown was initially held back in the third grade but with extra effort in summer school he was advanced into the forth grade the following school year. One day after school Motown was threatened with a butcher knife to give up a Nintendo game. That incident gave his partners the motivation to finally leave New York. At the age of 12, Motown and his parents relocated to Tampa, FL. He attended Leto Senior High School and participated on the basketball, football, track & field teams and the body building competition during his senior year. He also led his high school's black history month program by playing Dr.Martin Luther King and delivered a portion of his I have a Dream speech.

College[edit]

After graduating high school, Motown experienced his first relationship hardship. It was a difficult time for Motown but things got better when one of his friends let him borrow a set of audio recording equipment. With the equipment, Motown began writing R&B and Rap songs as a creative outlet. He used instrumentals from popular artists, wrote his own unique lyrics and created his first album entitled Reflexions. Motown's desire to write songs was not motivated by the music industry. Within the span of 5 years Motown completed 3 albums and had given them out for free to his friends. Motown's first two semester of college was at Hillsborough Community College, then he transferred to Tallahassee Community College (TCC) where he received his AA degree. While at TCC, he completed his second album and was paid $75.00 to perform a set in the college's cafeteria area. Motown's creative streak led him to competing in a poetry contest at a local cafe. He turned one of his already written songs into a poem and tied for first place. He was also invited to join their poetry troupe known as Black on Black Rhyme. As a troupe member, he performed once a week on Thursday nights for a couple years. Immediately after graduating from TCC Motown transferred to Florida A&M University (FAMU) where he received his bachelor's degree in broadcast journalism. While at FAMU, Motown became inspired by one of his classmates who had their own show on the FAMU channel. That same classmate invited Motown to feature on a dating Q&A segment and that experience fueled Motown's motivation to establish his own show. Motown worked relentlessly to get his show going on the FAMU channel but he was met with resistance and little cooperation from the channel's staff. Eventually Motown did complete one episode but he lost the desire to go at it again. Motown also served as the co-activities Director and President of the Haitian Cultural Club of Tallahassee. The Haitian Cultural Club is an organization founded at Florida State University which includes members from Florida A&M University, Tallahassee Community College and the local community. Two of his favorite accomplishments as president are the completion of a double DVD year book video known as HCC Review. The first disk highlights a series of events and activities from his year as president, the second disk highlights the year after with the succeeding president. He used his broadcast journalism cameras to capture most of the Haitian Cultural Clubs events. Five years after Motown's presidency, he returned to Tallahassee to facilitate the Haitian Cultural Club's first alumni reunion.

In 2005, Motown Maurice Productions was hired by the Haitian American Alliance[21] to capture the video and photography of Tampa's 2nd annual Haitian Flag Day Festival. The following year the Haitian American Alliance appointed Motown to spearhead its 3rd Annual Haitian Flag Day Festival on May 13, 2006. Motown became the director of the festival alongside his co-director Rodney Gibbs. Together they relocated the festival from a student area at the University of South Florida to the Lowry Park Zoo in partnership with the city of Tampa. That year the festival's numbers quadrupled in its attendance and partnerships. The festival was filled with exciting cultural activities showcasing Haiti's culture in the fields of art, education, history, and music. The musical artist headlining the festival was Nu-Vice with a special guest appearance from Michel Martelly "Sweet Mickey". In the effort of unifying Tampa's Haitian community, Motown & Rodney also created Tampa's first official Haitian business directory which was included in the event's free program.

The Combination TV (2007)

Motown's documentary Echoes of a Dream got the attention of The Tampa Tribune and they featured a story about it. That led to an on camera interview with Tampa Digital Studios. Less than a year later, Motown sent Tampa Digital Studios a proposal to produce his own talk show in their facility. Tampa Digital agreed. Following the agreement, Motown launched a bi-weekly, web-cast talk show called The Combination TV[22]. The show was modeled similar to ABC's The View. Motown Maurice was the lead host and his co-hosts Keto Nord Hodges, George Jean-Noel and Madison Holmes. The webcast featured local performers, political figures, historical presenters and entrepreneurs. The Combination TV focused on issues mostly impacting the local Tampa community in the areas of Music, Politics, History, Culture and Economics. The Combination TV was geared toward promoting African heritage and cultural diversity. The Combination TV was first introduced via a live media launch at the Good Luck Cafe in Ybor City. Following the media launch[23] The Combination TV set forth to release a new episode every other Wednesday. However, due to changes with Tampa Digital Studios only 5 episodes aired.

Wide aWoke Wednesday’s (2007-2009)

File:Wide aWoke September 2008.jpg

One day Motown was blasting music in his apartment of a song entitled "Man on a Mission" by an artist named Sekajipo For The People. The song's lyrics, "call me conscience, I prefer the term Wide aWoke." repeated in Motown's head and that inspired a movement. That song along with the success of The Combination TV's recent media launch gave birth to a live monthly discussion forum known as Wide aWoke Wednesday's[24]. Every 3rd Wednesday, Motown and The Combination team (later known as the Wide aWoke team) facilitated a town-hall type event that featured a panel of experts addressing topics, and issues concerning the African-American community. The format included 2-6 guest speakers, live entertainment, video presentations, and an opportunity for the public to speak and express themselves freely on the open mic. Admission was free but donations were often accepted. Between 2007-2009 (2 & 1/2 years) Wide aWoke Wednesday's totaled 28 shows, featuring over 150 expert panelists and averaged 100 audience members per program. The overall goal of Wide aWoke Wednesday's was to create jobs and employ individuals on a full-time basis. Motown and his team were not able to create paid jobs but Wide aWoke Wednesday's became well known throughout the Tampa Bay community. Many of the people that attended the shows filled out surveys indicating how they were positively impacted socially and financially by knowledge they gained. Wide aWoke premiered with controversial African American specific topic's such as, Is Bill Cosby Right or Wrong (inspired by Michael Eric Dyson's book Is Bill Cosby Right? Or Has the Black Middle Class Lost Its Mind?), We Ready for a Black President and Why Black Men Don't Go To Church (Inspired by Jawanza Kunjufu book Adam! Where Are You?: Why Most Black Men Don't Go to Church)[25]. After the first year, the format of Wide aWoke Wednesday's started to change. Wide aWoke evolved into a live interactive talk show with broader topics such as: Why Should I Get Married, How To Live Longer Healthier and Wiser and How To Publish a Book (featuring James Evans and Tony Gaskins as a panelists). Throughout the coarse of Wide aWoke Wednesday's, Motown began to realize his own comedic strengths. By combining his sense of humor, charisma, and leadership, he discovered his calling in late night television.

The Variety Night Show (2008)

Motown's first foray into late night began as a celebration of Black Music Month. On June 28, 2008, located at the Museum Of Science & Industry (MOSI) Motown Maurice and The Combination team introduced a new program entitled The Variety Night Show[26]. It was an entertainment spin off of Wide aWoke Wednesday's. The format emulated a late night talk show with a focus on black music. Motown and his team had quarterly intentions for The Variety Night Show but only one show was produced.

The Motown Maurice Show (2010)[edit]

Throughout the duration of Wide aWoke Wednesday's Motown struggled with identifying his purpose as a host. He felt incomplete and had a hard time relating to talk show role models such as Oprah Winfrey, Tavis Smiley, Montell Williams and Maury Povich. Despite his challenges, Motown spent much of his time studying other hosts and experimenting with different hosting styles. Then one day during the early part of 2009, Motown started paying closer attention to late night hosts and that's when he received his epiphany. Soon after Motown announced the retirement of Wide aWoke Wednesday's and set forth on a mission to make Tampa, FL the next destination for late night television. By leveraging his well-established business relationships, Motown began making his late-night vision a reality brick by brick. In order to complete this heavy undertaking, he mobilized over 50 volunteers, maxed out four credit cards, recruited one generous sponsor, The Law Offices of Pamela Y. Robinson[27] and his praying mom. Motown then reserved multiple paid-programming slots on Friday nights at 1:00 am on the WTTA-MyTV Tampa Bay station. The coverage area encompassed Tampa and nine surrounding counties. On January 23, 2010, “The Motown Maurice Show” premiered in front of a live studio audience. The show's first guests were major league basketball player Denard Span[28][29] and Bern Nadette Stanis[30][31][32], better known as Thelma from “Good Times”. The second episode featured Tommy Ford[33][34] from the hit comedy show “Martin.”The immediate success of The Motown Maurice Show earned him a “Key to the City” from the Mayor of Tampa, Pam Iorio on the forth episode.[35][36] The first season only consisted of eight episodes. Once again the overall motive for Motown's endeavor was to create paying jobs, he also wanted to directly compete with The Tonight Show and The Late Show. Towards the end of The Motown Maurice Show, Motown was no longer able to pay his apartment's rent. Two weeks before the show ended, he put in a two week notice and mentally began preparing himself to sleep in his car. Before his two weeks was over, someone on his team called and found out about his situation. Then to Motown's surprise, she offered him a place to stay at her condo. Motown ended up living there for 6 months rent free. Post The Motown Maurice Show, he created a demo of his late night show and sent it to Oprah's Your OWN Show: Oprah's Search for the Next TV Star contest. Throughout the process, Motown had several back and forth conversations with Oprah’s producers and he became a running finalist. While waiting for Oprah's results, Motown started a beard protest indicating he was not going to cut his beard until he figured out the next chapter of his life. He also fell into a serious state of depression. Mid July of 2010, Motown found out he wasn't accepted into Oprah's contest and the depression worsened. As his beard continued to grew, Motown's last line of hope was Craigslist. All summer long, Motown replied to entertainment based opportunities in Los Angeles with a link to his talk show demo. One day in August, First Class Talent Agency[37] called with extreme interest in having him as a client. Less than a month later, Motown set his sights for Hollywood.

Los Angeles Chapter[edit]

On September 19, 2010, Motown officially relocated to Los Angeles to further his late-night quest. Within two days of his arrival Motown signed with First Class agency and began auditioning soon after. Motown lived with a college friend during his first 9 months and after that he had a short stint with homelessness. Among the challenges, Motown still managed to attend acting classes and audition frequently. After year one, Motown found his grove and began producing and recruiting for his own projects again. First he established a blog talk radio channel[38][39] and interviewed approximately 60 guests. He also produced a series of Doritos commercials for the Crash the Superbowl contest[40] with his second roommate. Twice Motown was awarded with the highly selective diversity scholarship from the Uprights Citizens Brigade (UCB). He learned the art of improvisation from UCB and played on several improv teams within the Los Angeles area.

Early 2012, Motown proceeded with ambition to resurrect his late night talk show in Los Angeles and immediately began recruiting a team. After only raising $445.00 on an Indiegogo campaign[41] Motown had to reevaluate his late night strategy. While attending a series of networking events Motown became exposed to The New York Television Festival and decided to submit a pilot to their flagship independent pilot competition instead. On June 12, 2012 Motown submitted to the festival but his pilot was declined on August 15, 2012. In the spirit of keeping things moving, Motown respectively launched a Facebook Page and Youtube Channel for The Late Night Experiment[42][43]. The initial plans were to publish a series of sketch comedy videos once a week. After only a few posts, The Late Night Experiment took another transformation. Around this time period, there was booming raise in the popularity web series. After watching the first season of Issa Rae's The Misadventures of Awkward Black Girl, Motown garnered the inspiration to create a web series of his own. The first episode of "The Late Night Experiment with Motown Maurice[44][45],” premiered on Youtube on October 30, 2012. In the series, Motown plays a slightly fictional version of himself, a relentless adventurer willing to sacrifice everything in order to achieve his late night destiny. There are a total of 6 seasons, 36 episodes and 6 behind the scenes documentaries. Motown wrote, produced, directed and edited the entire series. In 2014 Motown received the best actor award at The Mockfest Film Festival for his role in the series. Within a 4 year span, over 100 cast and crew volunteers were recruited to complete the project. Motown takes pride in the fact that he recruited his cast and crew without one traditional casting session. He recruited his team through a grassroots effort, networking and shaking hands. Among the satire in the series, there is documentary footage that discloses many personal struggles such as homelessness and rejection. The Late Night Experiment even revealed his living conditions. It has been reported that he was living inside a renovated garage during the making of his web series and it's rumored that he is still living there. In 2016, Motown produced a mini documentary series on The Late Night Experiment channel called 36 for 36[46]. It's 36 mini documentaries of 36 cast and crew members that worked on The Late Night Experiment, telling their own personal stories. Motown created the series as way of giving back to his team for helping him tell his story.

Four times a year, at the end of each calendar quarter, QWF tailored a unique showcase targeting a wide range of actors, filmmakers and industry professionals in the Los Angeles area. A multitude of prizes were given out and the event was free for all that attended. During its first two years, QWF maintained a focus on film screenings and free food was sponsored by India Sweets and Spices[51]. In 2015 the festival evolved into a series of monologue slams competitions. In 2016, QWF transformed into a talent showcase welcoming in a range of singers, dancers, poets and stand-up comedians. During the span of four years, QWF produced a total of 16 festivals, 5 networking mixers and one agent/manager speaker series. The festival came to an honorable conclusion on December 10, 2016.

Among the success of his current and upcoming projects, Motown remains steadfastly focused on his ultimate goal in late night television.

Comedy Influences[edit]

It's important to note that Motown didn't grow up with a desire to work in film and television or to be a comedian. His burning desire for late night television came much later in life. However, many of the shows he grew up watching with his mom has a significant influence on his comedic perspective today. Motown and his mom loved to watch together shows like The Honeymooners with Jackie Gleason, The Cosby Show, Three's Company with John Ritter, Amen with Sherman Hemsley and Martin Lawrence on Martin. Motown did discover Eddy Murphy on his own but most of his other influences came after he started studying the landscape of late night television in 2010. Motown's late night influences are Arsenio Hall (1989-1994) Jimmy Kimmel, Conan O'Brien, Jimmy Fallen, Jay Leno and Johnny Carson.
