We all know the feeling of being stuck, uncertain of what’s next, only to realize we have the power to turn the page. After stepping away from her music career to raise her five children, Stefanie Michaela is making a powerful comeback with her new single, Found in You.
Co-written and produced by multi-Grammy-winning producer Keith Thomas—renowned for his work with Amy Grant, Vanessa Williams, Whitney Houston, and CeCe Winans—the song was also co-written with International Songwriting Competition winner Stephanie Middleton. Inspired by the deep love Stefanie shares with her husband, Found in You reflects the unshakable foundation they have built together. With the unwavering support of her family, Stefanie’s children—once looking up to her for strength—have now become her greatest inspiration. “Mommy, you’ve taken care of us; now it’s time to take care of you,” they remind her, encouraging her return to music.
Beyond its heartfelt message, Found in You is also a song with purpose. With the devastating fires in Los Angeles, Stefanie has committed to donating a portion of her streaming revenue to the Agoura Hills Animal Shelter, helping care for and rehome animals in need.
Stefanie’s journey into motherhood put her career on pause, but her passion for music never faded. Now, as her children grow, their belief in her has reignited her drive to create. “I’m at a point where it’s time to turn the pages. My love for music has always been there, and I want my children to see me embrace it fully. Working on Found in You with Keith Thomas felt like coming home—his melodic perfection brought my story to life so naturally.”
As a mother, Stefanie has been a source of strength and guidance. Now, inspired by her children’s encouragement, she is embracing her artistry with renewed energy. “This journey has been filled with challenges, but it’s all or nothing now. If my music can touch just one soul and make them feel what I feel when I sing these lyrics, then I’ve done my job. I hope people connect with my story, my lyrics, and the beauty of Keith’s production.”
Releasing this Valentine’s Day, Found in You marks the beginning of a new chapter for Stefanie Michaela. It’s a testament to the power of love, resilience, and the unwavering support of family. As she embarks on this next phase, she hopes to inspire others to embrace their own passions—no matter how much time has passed.
“I still can’t believe I got to write this chapter of my life with the legendary Keith Thomas,” Stefanie shares. With her upcoming EP Turning Pages set to release later this year, she’s ready to share her story with the world.
