Let us know what you enjoy about the show!

When the spotlight hits, the heart races; it's the thrill of the stage, the power of a story well-told. That's precisely the electrifying energy Tamar Greene, our star guest who's currently donning the revolutionary boots of George Washington in the Broadway hit "Hamilton," brings to this episode. Tamar isn't just a performer; he's a first-generation American with a tale of resilience, a beacon of social advocacy, and a tech-savvy maestro who weaves his cultural tapestry into every note he sings. Our candid conversation traverses the many layers of his life—from the rhythms of his dual heritage to his work with HAM for Progress, diving into how his academic pursuits in Music and Computer Information Systems lend a distinctive timbre to his artistic voice.
Every artist's journey is marked by personal crescendos and cadenzas, and Tamar's is no different. We share a laugh over the humbling experience of mastering a manual transmission, and Tamar bares his soul about the metamorphosis from backstage jitters to center stage triumphs. His insights on fatherhood resonate with anyone trying to juggle life's many roles, underlining the beauty and growth found in life's upheavals. Moreover, Tamar's story echoes the sentiment that challenges—be it a high-stakes performance or the intimate release of a personal music album—are merely stepping stones to our greatest versions.
Wrapping up our heart-to-heart, Tamar pulls back the curtain on the less glamorous side of the limelight. From vocal mishaps to financial faux pas, he shares the wisdom gleaned from each stumble and the fortitude to rise again. It's a testament to the passion that fuels the performing arts, where ambition meets authenticity. As Tamar discusses his harmonious dance between opera and musical theater, his soul's resonance with the latter, and his aspirations for sharing his gifts, we're reminded that the journey is as captivating as the destination. So, brace yourself for an episode that strikes a chord and sings to the dreamer in all of us.
