Mauric studied at the Conservatoire de Toulon, and after touring around Provence as an orchestra singer, he obtained a record contract as a result of winning a talent contest at the Théâtre Marigny in Paris in 1957.

From 1958, Mauric released a series of popular EPs, and in 1961 was chosen to represent France in the sixth Eurovision Song Contest, held on his home ground in Cannes on 18 March.

[2] Mauric's uptempo song "Printemps, avril carillonne" ("Springtime, April calling") finished in a respectable fourth place of the 16 entries.

His career was cut short when he was taken ill in December 1970, and died on 5 January 1971 from complications of cardiomyopathic disease, aged 37.
