Mini bio

How it started.

Lindsey’s love of violin began with the classical music her parents played at home and free orchestra concerts they took her to in Santa Ana. She trained classically, then joined a rock band in high school and explored electronic sounds in college.

Finding her audience.

After appearing on America’s Got Talent in 2010, Lindsey built her own route to listeners. A YouTube class taught by filmmaker Devin Graham helped her see a home for her unusual mix of violin and movement. “Crystallize” became a breakout, placing eighth on YouTube’s global top trending videos list for 2012.

Music you can see.

Her videos grew into stories she could write, storyboard and direct, while her stage shows brought together violin, dance, costumes and aerial work. Shatter Me and Brave Enough each won a Billboard Music Award for Top Dance/Electronic Album. Her 2024 album Duality explores the different, sometimes conflicting sides of a person.
