'I broke my back at trampoline class and feared I'd never walk or sing again - now I've won national music award'

Walking out on stage to collect a major national music award this year was a magical moment for Manchester singer Mica Millar. Not just as a celebration of her incredible vocal talent and music - but for Mica to even be up on stage at all after battling back from a life-changing injury.

For two years ago Mica suffered a horrific injury at a trampoline exercise class - breaking her back and fearing that she would never be able to walk, or sing, again. She spent months and months in recovery, having to relearn to walk before she could even think of being able to sing again.

It has all led to a quite incredible 2022 for Mica - who was not only able to release her debut album Heaven Knows, but won the Jazz FM Soul Act of the Year award at a glittering ceremony in October. She will head on a new UK tour in May 2023.
