Ugh. Lin did not write Hamilton because he loves politics. Gosh you have done like 3 videos on him now and you still dont know these things? He needed a book to read on vacation and picked up Alexander's biography. And because Lin is Lin he connected it with rapping. There you go now you know

I would add the fact that he wrote the Spanish lyrics to the 2009 revival of "West Side Story." I don't speak Spanish very well, but my husband does. We saw it in 2010, and he kept raving about the brilliance of the Spanish translations before we even knew who LMM was!

1. He wrote songs for Moana before he became famous for hamilton 2. He's a huge fan of 'My brother,My brother and me' 3. He's a huge fan of the west wing 4. He wrote the opening for the 2013 tony awards 5. He founded a hip hop comedy troupe 6. He voiced a polar bear in a coca cola ad (Jack) 7. Alan Menken was mean to him when he was a kid 8. He was a Co-composer and lyricist for 'Bring it on the Musical' 9. He wrote music for Stars Wars 10. He married his high school sweetheart (kinda)
