Shadow Devereaux

aka

Foreshadow

The Billy Conway Artist Fund seeks to aim the spotlight on Indigenous Artists from Montana who create in the musical, literary, and visual arts. This labor of love has been created to honor and push forward Billy’s legacy of creative generosity- he was the backbone of many songwriters’ creative processes , for Billy it was all about the song, not about himself.

We at BCAF are thrilled and proud to announce our first grant recipient, Shadow Devereaux (aka Foreshadow)!!!!! (We’ve been trying not to use a lot of exclamations, but we can’t stop ourselves on this one!)

Shadow Devereaux is a Salish and Blackfeet hip hop artist from the Blackfeet Reservation in northern Montana. His music blends the struggles of Indigenous youth with themes of positivity and resilience. Shadow's work exemplifies the power of art to inspire change and uplift those around him, embodying a spirit of creativity and cultural pride. He has honed his craft over a decade, mastering the art storytelling through song, with a deep understanding of engagement and cultural preservation. He bears a dynamic and impactful presence, both on and off the stage.

Shadow is a skilled audio engineer and and owner of the Missoula recording studio, Nu Wav. And, to top it off, he is father to three beautiful boys.

Just before Billy Conway left his body, he summed up life from that perspective by saying - with a sweet smile, “In the end, we’re all just a story.” If we look at it this way, we, as individuals, weave our stories into one another’s, and create something larger.

We are looking forward to witnessing the story of Shadow.
