Stefanie Michaela is a rising pop/R&B artist, from Los Angeles, USA.
Stefanie is a mother of five (including two sets of twins), a former theater performer, and a storyteller who took a long break from music to raise her family. Now, she’s returning with her EP Turning Pages—an introspective, graceful exploration of self-worth, healing, and identity after transformation.
Born and raised in Los Angeles, Stefanie Michaela discovered her love for music at just 2 years old. As a child, she would watch award shows, point to the TV, and say, “I want to do that and be on stage one day.”
She began writing her own songs and performing them for her family, using the fireplace hearth as her stage. Weekly performances became tradition, with Stefanie entertaining her family with original songs. Her passion grew alongside her, and she became a fixture at talent shows, dance recitals, and school musicals, earning the nickname “the littlest girl with the biggest voice” in her hometown. With soulful pop melodies and heartfelt lyrics, Stefanie’s music tells the story of a journey shaped by resilience, perseverance, and determination.
By age 12, studio sessions became her sanctuary, a space to craft melodies and pour her emotions into song. Her undeniable talent led her to pursue her dreams at Idyllwild Arts Academy and later the Boston Conservatory for musical theater. Though she faced setbacks along the way, Stefanie—bolstered by her family’s unwavering support—refused to give up. A chance opportunity reignited her passion, and she returned to the studio with renewed purpose.
Now, with the support of her children, who are her biggest inspiration, Stefanie is once again writing and recording music. As she turns the page to a new chapter, Stefanie is filled with determination and heart—ready to release her upcoming EP, Turning Pages.
Better With Time is Stefanie’s third single release ahead of her highly anticipated debut EP, Turning Pages.
Better With Time pushes back on the pressure to conform and speaks to anyone who’s ever been told they’re too late, too old, or too anything. Stefanie makes it clear: those limits don’t apply here. Its a beautifully honest anthem about growing into yourself, reclaiming your voice, and making peace with the past.
Produced by Grammy-nominated Nash Overstreet (Hot Chelle Rae, Meghan Trainor), the track blends soft soul and polished pop—layered with emotion, warmth, and clarity. It feels like a journal entry set to music: quiet, powerful, and deeply real.
It is an empowering anthem for anyone who’s ever felt overlooked, underestimated, or told they were too late. Co-written and performed by Stefanie herself, the track was also written and produced by Grammy-nominated, multi-platinum musician Nash Overstreet—best known as a member of Hot Chelle Rae and for his work with artists like Britney Spears, Meghan Trainor, and Pitbull. Co-writer Cali Rodi (Keith Urban, Daya) adds further lyrical depth. Blending soulful pop with a polished modern edge, “Better With Time” makes one thing clear: Stefanie isn’t just catching up—she’s breaking through.
