Michelle Núñez has been building an impressive resume that spans just about every corner of the entertainment world. You might recognize her as ‘Zane’ from Tyler Perry’s Ruthless. The Afro-Dominican artist has also popped up on shows like ABC’s The Rookie and Ryan Murphy’s Doctor Odyssey, proving she can hold her own alongside established stars like Niecy Nash and Phillipa Soo. But behind all the acting work, Núñez has been writing songs for most of her life, drawing from her background in poetry and spoken word to create music.
“Like sunset over water, her words blur the line between ending and beginning.”
Her new single “california, home” gives us our first real taste of what Núñez brings to the music world, and it’s immediately clear she’s not just dabbling in another creative outlet. Núñez understands how to tell a story through song just as well as she does through performance. The track captures that specific feeling of being pulled between two worlds, the comfort of home and the call of your dreams. The production gives her voice room to breathe while creating an atmosphere that feels like standing on the coast at sunset, thinking about everyone you left behind.
Núñez approaches songwriting the same way she approaches acting with emotional integrity and a clear sense of purpose. “california, home” is a strong introduction to her sound, one that suggests she has plenty more stories worth telling through music.
Keep an eye on Michelle Núñez. Something tells us this is just the beginning of what she has to offer as a recording artist.
