The most prolific artists have a deep story to tell, and L-OH-L’s life story is touching hearts and helping to guide souls down a better path that he walked.
Michael Nunez of Lake Charles, Louisiana has seen the true face of mental health throughout his lifetime. Having witnessed the bloodshed and violence of war as a teenager, his mind was warped by the reality of the world we live in. After completing his deployment to Iraq, his return home was accompanied by the scars of Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) and Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). His life spiraled out of control, falling into the addictive hold of drugs and all that came with it. Wandering homeless, his actions were violent in nature, and it seemed like all hope was lost. Still, someone was looking out for Michael, and that someone, was God.
Over the course of 5 years, Michael went from a past of turmoil to being a family man married with kids and free of drugs. Under the stage name L-OH-L, he decided that music would be his testimony to do for those in darkness what God did for him. The name represents more than simply his moniker, but a symbol of love, laughter, and life. Translated to “Living Off His Love,” it also serves the meaning of laughter to reflect his passion for making person’s laugh and open the door to build a connection.
With his name growing among the hip hop community, L-OH-L became a rising Christian rapper influenced by talented artists like Xay Hill, Aha Gazelle, and Dee-1. Now his home is in San Antonio, Tx where he continues to use his music not only to bring glory to God through his experiences but also to create fun enjoyable music as a Christian. L-OH-L does this through his modernized old-school flow layered with heavy punch lines interweaved with dope delivery and flows. He captures the mind of the youth but also reaches to the OG’s, making him one of the few artists able to create something for everyone…
