Local graduate, “Hamilton” alum Anthony Ramos starts New Year with EP release
At just 26 years old, Bushwick native and New Utrecht graduate Anthony Ramos is already proving to be a triple threat.
The local celebrity – known worldwide as the originator of both John Laurens and Philip Hamilton in Lin-Manuel Miranda’s Grammy-Award winning musical phenomenon “Hamilton” and, most recently, for his role as an eccentric Mars Blackmon in the Spike Lee-steered Netflix series “She’s Gotta Have It” – has spent the better part of the still-young New Year promoting his music.
Nearly a decade after accidentally auditioning for his first musical during his junior year of high school (he thought it was a talent show) and just months after his small-screen debut, Ramos released his first-ever EP on Saturday, January 20.
