Lindsey Stirling On Her New Single “Lose You Now,” Her Creative Process, Future Plans & More
Platinum-selling electronic artist, violinist and multi-talented entertainer Lindsey Stirling is known all over the world for her unique, futuristic violin-driven electronic music and exquisite live show. Since the release of her 2012 self-titled debut, the Arizona-raised, Los Angeles-based artist has racked up tens of millions of followers worldwide and more than 3 billion total views on YouTube. Stirling’s sophomore album Shatter Me was certified Gold by the RIAA, after debuting at #2 on the Billboard Top 200 and #1 on the Dance/Electronic Albums Chart and holding the #1 spot on the Classical Albums Chart for 21 consecutive weeks. Stirling’s third studio album Brave Enough featured guest appearances from Dan + Shay, Christina Perri, Weezer’s Rivers Cuomo and Andrew McMahon and went on to earn Stirling her second Billboard Music Award for “Top Dance/Electronic Album.”
Stirling closed out 2020 with her all-new, live-streaming holiday special Lindsey Stirling: Home For The Holidays, which she independently created, produced and financed. The hour-long ticketed special, which drew over 100,000 views from tens of thousands of fans and families worldwide, featured performances to seasonal favorites off Stirling’s chart-topping holiday album Warmer In the Winter in addition to the breathtaking performance of her hit “Crystallize,” where Stirling hung by her hair for a captivating Cirque du Soleil-inspired aerial display. Stirling’s latest release, her fifth studio album Artemis — as released in September 2019 via BMG — debuted at #1 on Billboard’s Dance/Electronic Albums Chart and remained on the chart for 15 combined weeks. Artemis has since been turned into a successful comic book series, with the sixth edition of the serial coming this summer. Along the way, Stirling has helped families in need through her non-profit charity outreach program The Upside Fund, co-written the New York Times best-selling book The Only Pirate At The Party alongside sister Brook S. Passey, competed as a contestant on Dancing With The Stars, and become a major touring headliner.
