**Amadour** (born May 1, 1995, in [Sparks, Nevada](/source/Sparks,_Nevada)) is an American interdisciplinary artist, musician, and writer.[1] Their practice spans painting, songwriting, and composition, often combining [geometric abstraction](/source/Geometric_abstraction) with [orchestral pop](/source/Orchestral_pop) and [cultural criticism](/source/Cultural_criticism).[2] Recognized as "The Voice of Nevada"[3] and "The High Desert Balladeer,"[4] Amadour's work addresses diasporic memory, queer subjectivity, and erased narratives through a perspective rooted in a Latinx experience in Nevada and the American West.[5][6][7]
