Hamilton and In The Heights star and activist Javier Munõz has released a new single - “Sirens” written by Keaton Wooden, Grayson Selby, and Jack C Newell, for his Javier Muñoz Day in New York City.
In 2018, NYC Mayor Bill DeBlasio issued a proclamation declaring June 21 Javier Muñoz Day in the city, to honor the Hamilton and In the Heights alum for his years of activism. Muñoz has chosen to continue the mission he was honored for, making this day each year a day dedicated to activism.
To mark this year, Muñoz has released a video of the song "Sirens" from the song cycle Connections, created by Jack C. Newell, Keaton Wooden, and Grayson Selby, with music and lyrics by Wooden and Selby. He is also highlighting five organizations to support: Gay Men's Health Crisis, Broadway Cares/Equity Fights AIDS, The Hispanic Federation, The Food Bank of NYC, and The United Way.
The original song was written by Wooden & Selby as part of a collaboration with Jack C Newell and Second City Chicago. The full experience - CONNECTIONS - is being released later this year.
