American composer, musician, performer, multimedia artist, and counter tenor based in New York City. The New York Times described his exhibit Negrogothic as "a bracing alternative to the dispiriting traffic in blandly competent art clogging the New York gallery system these days, M. Lamar plumbs the depths of all-American trauma with visionary verve." M Lamar studied painting at the San Francisco Art Institute, attending Yale for graduate school in sculpture before dropping out to focus on music. He is the identical twin brother of transgender actress Laverne Cox; in two episodes of the Netflix show Orange Is the New Black, Lamar played his sisters character prior to her transition.
