I remember being in 4th grade and my mom made me take guitar lessons so I could play at church. I hated it and after 3 years she finally let me stop playing.

By the time I got to high school kids were starting bands but I could only remember a few chords. I wasn't very good anymore so it stopped me from finding glory in a rock band.

Lindsey Stirling is an amazing artist that is inspiring many to pick up the violin. In fact, she's actually a quadruple threat... an electronic music impresario, violinist, dancer and artist.

She released her self-titled debut album back in 2012 and has since amassed over 11 million subscribers and 2 billion-plus views on YouTube. In 2015 Forbes placed Lindsey at #4 on its yearly YouTube artists list, making her the highest-ranked female. Her headline tours have played to a cumulative audience of over 500,000 people worldwide, and her literary debut The Only Pirate at the Party—co-written with her sister Brook S. Passey—became a New York Times Bestseller.

Lindsey’s third-studio album Brave Enough, debuted at #5 on Billboard’s Top 200 Album Chart, went on to score the #1 spot on the publication’s year-end Top Dance/Electronic Album list, and earned Stirling a 2017 Billboard Music Award for “Top Dance/Electronic Album.”

In 2017, Lindsey released her first ever holiday album titled Warmer in the Winter. Featuring classic and original songs, the album went on to become the #1 new Christmas album of 2017, ahead of pop music heavyweights such as Gwen Stefani and Sia. It was also the best-selling new holiday album and the best performing holiday album on Pandora with over 40 million spins.

Stirling was also the runner-up on Season 25 of ABC’s hit show “Dancing with the Stars” with her partner Mark Ballas. 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.
