Lindsey Stirling
Lindsey Stirling is one of the entertainment industry’s most extraordinary and beloved talents,
captivating global audiences with her musical and performance artistry.
A classically trained violinist and dancer (and now aerialist), Lindsey merged her classical roots with
the progressive world of electronic beats and rock, creating a sound and style uniquely her own and
a spectacular stage show that consistently sells out venues around the world.
Vivacious, powerful, upbeat and fully present, Lindsey has a unique gift for connecting deeply with
her audience as she shares her personal journey through music, dance and inspirational
conversation.
The multi-platinum recording artist and media personality touts over 28M followers across all social
platforms – including 14.3M subscribers and over 3B views on YouTube – and her chart-topping hits
across seven, critically acclaimed albums, numerous gold and multi-platinum singles, and two
Billboard Music Awards, have reinforced her status as a global entertainment force who has
captured the hearts of millions.
Lindsey first broke through by creating stunning performances that infused a mix of hip-hop, pop
and classical violin music with contemporary dance and ballet – something it’s fair to say no one had
ever seen before. Appearing on NBC’s America’s Got Talent, she came in as a quarterfinalist, and
while not the winner of the show, this propelled her to further hone her unique talents, along with
the belief that she could create a stage show and repertoire that could one day fill seats and touch
audiences.
Continuing to refine her craft, Lindsey started uploading videos to YouTube, cultivating a unique
and dedicated fan base. She released her eponymous, now-platinum debut album in 2012 in
conjunction with a North American tour; shortly thereafter, YouTube announced that her song
“Crystallize” was the eighth most-viewed video of the year (it currently has more than 300M views).
She was the second best-selling artist on the Billboard Classical Crossover charts in 2013, and in
2014 she released her second studio album “Shatter Me,” embarking on a world tour. Her third
studio album “Brave Enough” was released in 2016 and debuted at #1 on the U.S. Dance/Electronic
Albums charts, and secured the #5 slot on the Billboard 200. Her fifth studio album “Artemis” was
released in 2019, with NASA releasing a companion video of Lindsey performing the title song to
promote its “Artemis” program. She has released two best-selling holiday albums, “Warmer in
Winter” and “Snow Waltz,” and is currently on a world tour to support her latest album, “Duality,”
released in 2024. Lindsey has also expanded her touring business to include orchestra shows that
bring her back to her classical roots while highlighting her original music.
Concurrent with her many accomplishments and accolades in entertainment, Lindsey is a New York
Times best-selling author – her autobiography “The Only Pirate at the Party” was released in 2016
and she has also created her own comic book. She has appeared on television’s Today Show,
Conan, The Kelly Clarkson Show and Live with Kelly and Ryan, and in 2017 was the runner-up on
ABC’s Dancing with the Stars. She has performed the National Anthem for the NFL, appeared at
Lollapalooza Paris, and Olympian Suni Lee performed her floor routine at the 2024 Summer Games
to Lindsey’s music, winning her a gold medal.
In response to the pandemic, Lindsey took her artistry to new heights, funding and directing a virtual holiday livestream that garnered over 100,000 unique viewers. She also created The Upside Fund, her nonprofit dedicated to helping fund and advocate for accessibility in all areas of healthcare and mental health (to date, The Upside Fund has eliminated over $17 million in medical debt for individuals in need). In addition to her musical, on-camera, writing and philanthropic achievements, Lindsey is a soughtafter motivational speaker, continuing to use her story to inspire others. She lives and teaches the importance of embracing one’s unique qualities – reminding audiences that individuality is the true key to success – and shines as a beacon of light and positivity in today’s media industry, bringing her own brand of “magic” to all she touches.
