As of February 16, 2026, five-time Grammy winner Chandler Moore is moving forward with his solo career, even as his legal dispute with Maverick City Music remains ongoing.
Earlier this month, on February 5, a New York judge granted Moore permission to release solo music while the lawsuit between him and Maverick City Music - including counterclaims - proceeds through the courts. The ruling marks a significant development in the high-profile case and allows Moore to continue recording and distributing new material during litigation.
Moore first departed Maverick City Music in October 2025 before filing a lawsuit against the group's CEO and his former manager, Norman Gyamfi. The suit alleges fraud, forgery, and the misappropriation of approximately $800,000 in royalties. Maverick City Music has denied the allegations and filed counterclaims. The matter remains unresolved.
While legal proceedings continue, Moore appears focused on momentum rather than pause.
Live Performances Signal Forward Movement
Despite months of legal tension, Moore's 2026 calendar reflects activity, not retreat.
On February 20, he is scheduled to appear alongside two-time Billboard No. 1 gospel artist Anthony Evans for a worship night in Virginia. Just one week later, on February 27, Moore will headline the "I Shall Not Want" concert in Nassau, Bahamas - an event promoted as an unforgettable night of worship.
For supporters, these upcoming gatherings represent more than tour dates. They signal continuity. They signal resilience. And perhaps most importantly, they suggest that Moore's ministry focus remains intact.
New Music on the Horizon
With the February 5 court clearance in place, Moore is actively moving forward with solo musical projects. While no official release dates have been announced, the ruling removes a significant barrier that previously clouded his ability to independently release material.
Transitions in the Christian music industry are rarely simple, especially when legal disputes unfold publicly. Yet Moore's current trajectory suggests an artist determined to create while the courts handle the conflict.
Two realities now run side by side: an unresolved legal battle - and a worship leader stepping into a new chapter.
As mid-February 2026 unfolds, Chandler Moore's story is no longer defined solely by departure or dispute, but by the music still ahead.
