Bre-Z

Calesha Murray, known professionally as Bre-Z, was born on July 22, 1987 in Philadelphia, PA and raised in Wilmington, DE. Born into a family of barbers, Murray herself would go on to pick up the trade during childhood before solidifying her career as a musician and actor.

In 2015, Murray made her acting debut with a role on the drama series "Empire" (Fox 2015-), for which she also contributed music. From there, Murray went on to star in the comedy film "Fat Camp" (2017) alongside Vivica A. Fox and "Saturday Night Live" (NBC 1975-) cast member Chris Redd, and was cast in the drama television series "All American" (The CW 2018-), focusing on a teen athlete from a working class neighborhood recruited to play for a football team at a wealthy high school.
