Most people will know him by now, but Anthony Ramos Martinez is an actor/singer who got his big break in Hamilton. He studied musical theatre at the American Musical and Dramatic Academy with a full scholarship, graduating in 2011. He started out with roles in traveling productions, including one for In The Heights, Lin Manuel Miranda's earlier work. In 2014 he was rehearsing for a Rockettes show when he auditioned for Hamilton. It opened in 2015 and he was with the show until 2016, going on to star in a Netflix show that same year. In 2018 he was in a couple different movies, including the film adaption of In The Heights that was released in 2021. His musical career (in a recording artist sense because obviously he was musical before) started in 2017 with the release of some singles prior to first debut EP which came out in 2018. He got signed and released his debut album in 2019 before releasing his second album in 2021. A fun fact is that it's him and his fiance Jasmine in this video, who both met and got together while starring in Hamilton, which is a nice wholesome end for actors I came to respect so much. But because I know they are together it makes the video feel more awkward for me because it feels like I'm intruding on their real life. You guys will have to let me know if it's just me or what.

Peace.
