THIS WEEK, WE'RE TAKING IT BACK!
By popular demand, we're revisiting a powerful and inspiring conversation with Stephanie Spruill—powerhouse vocalist, vocal coach, author, songwriter, and entrepreneur—on the Lin. Woods Gospel Entertainment Podcast, where we talk to inspire!

In this Rewind episode, Stephanie takes us behind the scenes of her extraordinary career, including her work as a vocal coach for the $1 billion dollar box office smash hit biopic MICHAEL, her experiences working with Michael Jackson, and her decades-long career providing background vocals for music icons including Whitney Houston, Elton John, Barbra Streisand, and others.

Stephanie also opens up about the devastating loss of her home in the Los Angeles fires while she was working on MICHAEL, how the decline of artist development programs at record labels inspired her to create her own lane through vocal coaching and artist development, and the inspiration behind her book, 17 Points to Longevity, and her uplifting single, "Thankful."
