He performs music under the stage name Ron Velvet.[2] Nery is best known for his role as Brad on the CBS sitcom Me, Myself & I[3]. He starred in, co-wrote, and co-produced his own short film, Mesti-So?! (2018),[4] which won the RED Digital Honorable Mention award at the AT&T SHAPE Create-A-Thon.[5]

Nery performs in a wide range of musical styles, including Pop, R&B, and hip hop. On November 11, 2019 he released his debut album, The Velvet EP.[6]

Early life

Ron Nery Jr. was born in Anaheim, California.[7] He is of Filipino, Spanish and French, ancestry. Nery spent his childhood years singing in school plays and learning to play multiple instruments.[1] While attending the University of California, Riverside he joined "909 Hip-Hop Dance Troupe" where he was able to open for artists Busta Rhymes & E-40.[6]

Career

Upon college graduation, Nery moved to Los Angeles, California and worked at a movie studio in 2013 where he later made the decision to pursue acting professionally.[2] In 2016, Nery made his acting debut on the TLC series Sex Sent Me to the ER. Since then he's appeared on shows such as the CBS comedy sitcom Me, Myself & I[8] and the NBC late-night talk show A Li A Little Late with Lilly Singh.

In 2018, Nery's script for his short film Mesti-So?! was selected as 1 of 64 second-round finalists (of over 500 submissions) for the AT&T SHAPE Create-A-Thon contest.[1] In Mesti-So?! he tackled the controversial issue of typecasting, specifically from the viewpoint of a multi-ethnic Filipino mestizo|mestizo (meaning 'mixed' in Tagalog) actor.[4] The film was entirely shot on an iPhone, and was awarded the RED Digital Cinema Honorable Mention winner.[5] Following the contest, Mesti-So?! became an official selection at the 2019 Hollywood Reel Independent Film Festival.[9]

After constant encouragement from close friends with regard to his voice, Nery met with Universal Music Publishing Group musicians 900Vibes and Stuxx in the summer of 2019. The trio created one song together, then the name "Ron Velvet" was born.[2] On November 11, 2019 Velvet released his 5-track debut album, The Velvet EP.[6]

Velvet cited artists Justin Timberlake & Bruno Mars as musical influences.[6]
