Back in the Groove contestant Stepahine Michaels has triumphed against breast cancer!
Stephanie Michaels, a 41-year-old singer and composer, was born in Miami, Florida. Her mother is Puerto Rican while her father is Jamaican. Michaels also has a 22-year-old son, whom she names Lil Broski. She graduated from Ashford University in 2012 with a degree in Mass Communication before becoming the lead singer of BB Kings Blues Club. She then spent three years as a recording artist for Rock With U Entertainment before becoming the band manager for the Private Property Band. Stephanie Michaels has also been the bandleader of Steph Michaels & The Untouchables for the past ten years and is involved with a waist trainer firm, IAMDIVG.
Stephanie Michaels’ sense of humor may come from a place of resilience, according to Hulu’s Back in the Groove description. On September 21, 2021, she was diagnosed with breast cancer. Despite having certain medical symptoms for the past 7-8 years, in 2021 she was suffering from significant exhaustion and was treating every medical condition with a “holistic approach to treatment”.
Michaels blamed her breast implant cosmetic surgery for her cancer in multiple Instagram posts, claiming she had BII shortly after the procedure. Stephaine’s friends also helped her rehab by organizing a fundraiser called #StephStrong.
