Classical Album Chart, earned her a 2014 Billboard Music Award nomination for “Top Dance/Electronic Album,” and was recently certified Gold by the RIAA.  Lindsey’s 2014 sophomore album Shatter Me, debuted at #2 on Billboard’s Top 200 album chart, #1 on the
iTunes Album Chart, spent an impressive 21 weeks straight at the #1 spot on the Billboard Classical Album Chart, and was recently certified Gold by the RIAA.  The album includes a collaboration with Halestorm lead singer Lzzy Hale on her smash single “Shatter
Me,” which has over 67 million views on YouTube.  The album took home the 2015 Billboard Music Award for “Top Dance/Electronic Album” of which Avicii, Disclosure, Calvin Harris and Skrillex were also nominated.   Her critically praised 2015 US summer tour
included headline shows at venues such as Red Rocks Amphitheater in Denver, which she sold out, New York’s Central Park Summerstage and the Greek Theater in Los Angeles.  To date, Lindsey’s tours have sold over 600,000 headline tickets worldwide.  Lindsey
also ranked #4 on Forbes Magazine’s inaugural “YouTube Millionaires” list in November 2015, on which she is the highest paid female.  In January 2016, Lindsey released her first book with Simon & Schuster, a memoir called “The Only Pirate at the Party.”  Co-written
by her sister Brook S. Passey, the book debuted on the New York Times’ best-seller list.  Stirling released her third critically acclaimed studio album, Brave Enough, in August of 2016.  A top 5 Billboard debut, the album went on to score the #1 spot on Billboard’s

has a symbiotic relationship with her fans.   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.
