A classically trained violinist from Gilbert, AZ, Lindsey Stirling has entered a futuristic world of electronic big beats and animation. This powerful combination of music and animation has her leaping through the music industry with over 830 million views on YouTube, Billboard chart-topping hits and sold out tours worldwide. Her unconventional combination of classical violin and dub step beats coupled with a ballet-type dancing style has garnered more than 5.7 million subscribers and counting on her YouTube channel, Lindseystomp.
Lindsey's self-titled debut album featured twelve original tracks; including the viral smash "Crystallize", which has racked up over 97 million YouTube views. The album has sold over 350,000 copies in the US without the backing of a major label, and has gone platinum in Germany and gold in Poland and Switzerland. The album reached number one on the Billboard Dance/Electronic Chart and the Billboard Classical Album Chart and also peaked at #22 on the Billboard Top 200. In 2014, Lindsey released her new album "Shatter Me", which debuted at #2 on the Billboard Top 200 album chart, her highest charting album to date.
Lindsey has 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, she moves with the grace of a ballerina but works the crowd into a frenzy, "dropping the beat" like a rave fairy. The California native was dubbed the "hip hop violinist" when she performed for Piers Morgan, Sharon Osbourne, and Howie Mandel on season five of "America's Got Talent".
