Bella Cruz(I)

Abama-born actress, singer, dancer Bella Cruz has earned a spot on the Emmy Awards ballot for the third consecutive year. After two years on the ballot as an actress, Bella now makes her debut as a producer and writer alongside her acting nomination for her short-form series Business People for 2025.

Bella's career began at an early age, writing and staging plays at just 8 years old. She later refined her skills in Math, Theater, Dance, and Creative Writing at Marymount Manhattan College and Adelphi University, with additional training at NYU's Acting and Writing Intensives. She transitioned from backup dancer and choreographer with Grammy-winning artists to a solo artist, earning song placements and radio airplay across the globe, along with an international tour.

As she ventured into film and television production, Bella's creative work-blending her musical and dance talents-has been recognized at film festivals and caught the attention of major industry players like NBC. Her accomplishments reflect both resilience and artistry, particularly in overcoming a cancer diagnosis, an experience that has added depth and emotional richness to her work. Bella's continued success, now as a writer, producer, and actor, hopefully serves as an inspiration for all who cross her path.
