Anthony Ramos: From Broadway to Blockbusters, Embracing Latin Roots on New Music

Get ready for an electrifying musical journey as Anthony Ramos, the multi-talented Puerto Rican-American artist and actor, unleashes his latest venture that seamlessly fuses his Latin music roots with infectious beats. With over 100 million streams from his critically acclaimed albums, "The Good & The Bad" and "Love and Lies," Anthony Ramos continues to captivate audiences with his unmatched talent.

After captivating audiences on the big screen and gracing magazine covers, Anthony Ramos is back to his musical roots with his upcoming release. Inspired by his upbringing in Brooklyn and Miami, Anthony explores the unique blend of Latin and urban sounds in his music, alternating effortlessly between English and Spanish over swaggering Nuyorican soundscapes and tantalizing hints of R&B.

Reflecting on his musical journey, Anthony shares, "Growing up, my mom listened to salsa all the time. She loved Tito Rojas, Tito Nieves, and Marc Anthony. When reggaeton first popped off in the States, I was getting into Tego Calderón and Tony Dize. All of this inspired me at the most important time of my life. Being a Latino from New York is a very specific thing. I'm exploring what that means. This music is like a homecoming for me."

Anthony's creative freedom reached new heights when he relocated from New York to Miami. The change of scenery allowed him to experiment and flourish without boundaries. The studio sessions became a melting pot of genres and languages, with Anthony seamlessly switching between English and Spanish in his songwriting. The result? A whole new creative dimension that he had never explored before.

Leading the charge in this era is Anthony's captivating single, "Villano." The track showcases emotionally charged verses in English before erupting into an intense, infectious Spanish refrain over a head-nodding Latin trap groove. Anthony explains, "It's easy to get painted as a villain. I was coming out of a certain situation, and this is how I felt. All the pain and lessons in the aftermath ultimately shaped the song."

But that's not all. Anthony's official single, "Se Fue," delivers a stripped-down vocal accompanied by stark piano, only to transition into an anthemic chorus in Spanish propelled by a reggaeton beat and triumphant horns. It's the perfect song for those who find themselves crying in the club, blending both sadness and celebration in a single track.

Anthony Ramos has made a significant impact throughout his career, from originating the roles of "John Laurens" and "Philip Hamilton" in the Broadway phenomenon "Hamilton" to earning Golden Globe® and Emmy® Award nominations for his roles in "In The Heights" and "Hamilton" on Disney+. He has also graced screens in acclaimed films and series, showcasing his versatility and earning him a dedicated following.

With over 100 million streams, Anthony Ramos has firmly cemented his place in the music industry. His raw talent and genuine storytelling continue to captivate listeners, earning him acclaim from American Songwriter, Complex, Rolling Stone, and Billboard. As he embarks on this new musical chapter, Anthony Ramos invites you to witness his evolution, as he keeps it real and reflects who he is and who he's always been.
