LINDSEY STIRLING

Lindsey Stirling is one of the biggest artist development breakthrough stories in recent years. A classically trained violinist from Gilbert, Ariz., Lindsey has entered a futurist world of electronic big beats and animation, leaping through the music industry with over 7.8 million YouTube subscribers, over 1 billion views on her YouTube channel, Billboard chart-topping hits and sold out tours worldwide. She’s created a new music world where the romance of Celtic folk music and modern classical meet the infectious energy of dance and electronica. On stage, Stirling moves with the grace of a ballerina but works the crowd into a frenzy, “dropping the beat” like a rave fairy.

Lindsey’s self-titled debut album, released in September of 2012, featured twelve original tracks; including the viral smash “Crystallize,” which has racked up over 145 million YouTube views.  The album earned her a 2014 Billboard Music Award nomination for “Top Dance/Electronic Album,” and was recently certified Gold in the US without the backing of a major label. The album reached #1 on Billboard’s Dance/Electronic Chart and Classical Album Chart and peaked at #23 on the Billboard Top 200. 

In 2014, Lindsey released her sophomore album Shatter Me which debuted at #2 on Billboard’s Top 200 album chart and has sold over 320,000 copies to date in the US alone.  The album includes a collaboration with Halestorm lead singer Lzzy Hale on her smash single “Shatter Me,” which has over 50 million views on YouTube.  The album won a 2015 Billboard Music Award for “Top Dance/Electronic Album.”

Lindsey’s critically praised 2015 US summer tour included headline shows at venues such as Red Rocks Amphitheater in Denver, Chicago Theater, New York’s Central Park Summerstage and the Greek Theater in Los Angeles.  To date, Lindsey’s tours have sold over 500,000 headline tickets worldwide.  Lindsey was also ranked #4 on Forbes Magazine’s inaugural “YouTube Millionaires” list in November 2015, on which she is the highest paid female. 

Most recently, Lindsey released her first book with Simon& Schuster, a memoir called “The Only Pirate at the Party” which she co-wrote with her sister, Brook S. Passey. The book was released on January 12, 2016 and debuted on the New York Times’ best-seller list.  In the book, Lindsey shares stories of her humble yet charmed childhood, humorous adolescence, life as a struggling musician, personal struggles with anorexia, and finally, success as a world-class entertainer. 

Stirling is the model of a modern independent recording artist, with a symbiotic relationship with her fans.  A motivational speaker in her spare time, Stirling uses her own story to show teenagers that you’ve got to have confidence in the very thing that makes you unique – then wait for the world to catch up.

Next up, Lindsey is prepping to release her highly anticipated third studio album through her own label, Lindseystomp Records.   The album is scheduled for release in the summer of 2016.
