Daveed Diggs portrait by Laura Tomlinson
Oakland rapper/actor Daveed Diggs won a Tony Award on June 12, 2016. I interviewed him for 7×7 Magazine about how his Oakland upbringing influenced his portrayal of Lafayette and Jefferson in Hamilton. We also spoke about what San Francisco Bay Area residents will enjoy about Hamilton when it comes to San Francisco in 2017. Read the interview on 7×7.
For my prior writing on Daveed, read my 2012 review of his album Small Things to a Giant (which I rated as my fav album of 2012).
