Lindsey Stirling biography

Lindsey Stirling (born 21 September 1986) has taken the world by storm with her abilities as a violinist, dancer, and composer. Her music incorporates the various styles of classical, hip-hop, and pop music into one unique sound, and her videos on YouTube have already received millions of views.

At the age of five she started violin lessons where she gained valuable knowledge on music theory and classical music. By the time she was 16 she was playing violin in a rock band in Arizona. While in the band she wrote a solo violin rock song that won her the Spirit Award in the America’s Junior Miss Finals competition. In 2010 Lindsey Stirling started to catch audiences’ attention with her performances on the television show “America’s Got Talent”. Although she did not win the competition for “America’s Got Talent”, she did catch the eye of cinematographer Devin Graham, who would later help her make music videos for her songs that would launch her career.

Devin and Lindsey started to film her music videos in 2011 and released “Spontaneous Me” as her first video. The video immediately gathered a following, which caused a continuation of filming music videos and releasing them on YouTube. Not before long Lindsey had millions of people interested in her music through her YouTube videos and has already had over 519 million views for her videos. In 2012 YouTube announced that her music video for “Crystallize” was the No. 8 most viewed video of the year with over 42 million views.

Lindsey Stirling released her self-titled debut album in 2012, which would go on to reach the No. 1 spot on the Billboard’s Classical Albums and Dance/Electronic Albums chart. The album was a massive success in Europe earning platinum certifications in places like Austria and Germany. The album was also well received by critics who enjoyed the unique combination of mixing in traditional classical music with modern sounds of hip-hop and dubstep.

In 2014 Lindsey Stirling released her second studio album “Shatter Me”. The album was met with great success and reached the No. 2 spot on the Billboard 200 chart. The album contained a more progressive style of music than her debut album, and it featured the hits “Beyond the Veil” and “Shatter Me”. The album also featured several collaborations with vocalists such as Lzzy Hale and Dia Frampton.

Lindsey Stirling has also released several cover songs that have caught mainstream attention. Her cover of the song “Radioactive” with Pentatonix was highly successful and won her the award for “Response of the Year” for the YouTube Music Awards. She is also well recognized for her cover songs of various video games and movie theme songs. Her collaborations with other musicians are also quite impressive, which show her teaming up with John Legend, Tay Monday, and Sam Tsui.

The touring schedule for Lindsey Stirling clearly conveys that she is a busy performer. She has been touring since the release of her debut album and has made appearances on some late night television shows to promote her music such as “Conan”. Her tours have taken her all over the world to such places like Japan, South Korea, and Switzerland. She has played a 21,000-seat Conference Center in Salt Lake City, US and has sold out numerous venues across the US. Lindsey Stirling’s strong work ethic and immense talent has clearly pushed her into stardom, and her creativity continues to be recognized through her many awards from such institutions as the Billboard Music Awards, German Echo Music Awards, and Streamy Awards.

Live reviews

I have heard of Lindsay Sterling only because I stumbled across one of her Youtube Videos a couple of years ago where she became widely popular and I was surprised at how much I enjoyed watching this beautiful woman play the violin.

Lindsay is known as the Hip Hop Violinist, but she can easily play just about any genre which is what makes her so talented, so be expected to hear some of your favorite songs in violin form. I wish I could find the words to describe seeing her live, it's another world and just simply amazing.

While she is on stage, she invites you to her world, the visuals of the performers mesmerize you as you watch and listen to her play. It's like being in a beautiful fairy would where everything is serene all the time. Everyone in the audience can do nothing but just sit back and enjoy the fun and when she starts to play Crystallize everyone gets so excited since this is one of the majority of her fans favorite. She is still currently on tour, so if you ever get the chance and she is playing at a venue near you, make it a must to attend. This is truly one experience you would enjoy from beginning to end.

In Des Moines as part of the "Wintour is Coming" tour, Pvris *killed* it. They were *incredible.* Despite the fact that they opened the show, and it was clear the crowd had never heard of them, they put on an engaging show and played awesome music.

Their setlist was well constructed. They tried to use the stage that they were given, although it was clear that they are still new, and not used to that big of a stage. Their set and effects were well done - adding to the experience but not distracting.

Lynn did an excellent job of getting the pit and the rest of the crowd on their feet and engaged with the concert. That's not an easy task as an opener, but they were excellent. Attitude is key to this, and it was clear that Pvris wanted to be there and cared about the show.

After their set, I was left wanting to see them again, which is really good. They were much better than the act that followed them.
