The Brooklyn native spent four years playing guard for University of Michigan’s basketball team, then moved to Nashville to pursue a different passion: country music. Before dropping his debut single “LOW ROAD” in August 2024, the 6’6” singer was known on TikTok for his over-the-top reactions to his favorite country songs. (Shaboozey’s team even gifted Nunez a platinum plaque for his early role in boosting “A Bar Song (Tipsy),” the biggest song of 2024.) The viral success of “LOW ROAD,” a bittersweet sing-along inspired by a past love triangle, earned Nunez an opening spot on rising country star Dasha’s first headlining tour.
