Lindsey Stirling

A classically trained violinist who now pairs her music with electronic beats, Lindsey Stirling used YouTube to promote her early career and now has more than 6.9 million followers. Stirling calls her rejection in the quarterfinals of the TV show America’s Got Talent in 2010 a defining moment, and she has gone on to success that included a nomination at this year’s Teen Choice Awards for Choice Web Star: Music. Raised as a Mormon, Stirling can speak about inspirational topics such as her faith, not giving up, remaining strong and true to yourself, overcoming trials, personal progress and change, her prior struggle with an eating disorder, and positive thinking. She is represented by WME.
