Amar Monroe

Houston-based artist Amar Monroe brings a fresh perspective and heartfelt energy to the world of music and art. A Salvadoran and Persian singer and songwriter, Amar uses his platform to foster a sense of community rooted in love, respect, and resilience. Known for his openness and positivity, Amar’s artistry resonates deeply with listeners by offering a space for healing, empowerment, and connection. Amar’s love for music began in early childhood when his brother introduced him to an electric keyboard at just three years old. Exploring chords and effects unlocked a creative spark that would shape his life. Paired with his natural ability to emulate singers from the radio, Amar discovered a deep connection to music. What started as playful experimentation soon transformed into a lifelong passion, as songwriting became a form of journaling—a way to express emotions and experiences that were otherwise hard to articulate. Drawing inspiration from a wide range of genres and life experiences, Amar’s music channels raw vulnerability through storytelling. His songs invite listeners to feel deeply, whether they’re celebrating, reflecting, or healing. “I see music as storytelling, healing, empowerment, and vulnerability,” Amar shares. “It’s helped me heal on so many levels, and I hope my tracks help others feel less alone.” Beyond his music, Amar is the creator and host of The Review Room, a thriving community platform where artists from diverse backgrounds gather to share and critique their work. Amar ensures the environment is positive, constructive, and honest, recognizing the courage it takes to create and share art. “Artists put their heart into their art, and it deserves to be met with respect,” Amar explains. Through his music and platform, Amar promotes respect, inclusion, and authenticity, championing the idea that everyone deserves to feel heard and valued. With upcoming releases and projects in 2025, Amar continues to push the boundaries of alternative R&B and alt-pop, creating music that moves people and builds bridges. His journey is just beginning, but his impact is already undeniable.
