Actress and singer-songwriter Michelle Núñez has released her debut single, “making the most of it,” a relaxed, mesmerizing love letter to the beautiful—and often painful—reality of being human.
Known for her breakout role as Zane on Tyler Perry’s hit series Ruthless, Núñez has also appeared in The Rookie: Feds and Doctor Odyssey alongside Tony-nominated actress Phillipa Soo. While many recognize her from the screen, “making the most of it” offers a striking introduction to Núñez’s voice as a music artist: raw, reflective, and rooted in vulnerability.
Produced by Yoosuf Blake, the single unfolds like a diary entry, part cinematic ballad, part “internal monologue.” Núñez explores themes of grief, emotional endurance, and the quiet ache of looking back. Her lyrics pull you into the moment—lines like “Why did I push you away?” and “Daydreaming of your smile” feel both delicate and deeply honest, delivered with an ethereal tone that floats just above the heartache.
Vocally, Núñez carries a softness that’s magnetic—light and airy, but never losing the emotional weight beneath the surface. The sonic texture evokes the ambient dreaminess of Lorde with vocal warmth reminiscent of H.E.R., creating a space that feels personal, spiritual, and timeless all at once.
“making the most of it” doesn’t just mark a beginning for Núñez in music—it establishes her as a storyteller across mediums, unafraid to lean into the mess, the meaning, and the humanity in it all.
