Early life and education
Nery was born on January 28, 1997 in Cagayan de Oro City to a musical family. Both of his parents were singers. The first time he performed in public was when he was eight years old, where he sang "Fly Me to the Moon" for a cousin's debut party. Even so, a career in music was never considered by Nery at the time.

He started writing songs seriously in high school, and received some formal training in singing after joining the glee club in college. He attended Xavier University — Ateneo de Cagayan and majored in Psychology. Before going full-time in his music career, he worked as a call center agent and as an online English teacher for Japanese students.

Nery was booked to sing in comedian Wacky Kiray's show in Bukidnon, who later introduced him to Callalily's frontman Kean Cipriano who at the time had just launched his own label, O/C. On the same night, Nery signed with O/C.
