How Did Lindsey Stirling Make Her Money & Wealth?

Lindsey Stirling was born on September 21, 1986, in Gilbert Arizona. She did not come from money. She told her parents that she wanted to start violin lessons and dance lessons at the age of five. Since they were crunched for money, they need to get inventive. Lindsey’s parents found an instructor who would do 15-minute lessons, despite saying that the five-year-old would not be able to learn in that short time per week. Lindsay was ready to prove them wrong.

Lindsey attended Greenfield Junior High School in Gilbert Arizona. At 16, she went to Mesquite High School. Getting bored with the traditional violin music, Lindsey joined a rock band called Stomp the Melvin with three of her friends. Being in this rock band inspired Lindsey to write her own violent rock song to be performed solo. She played the song at the Arizona Junior Miss Competition. She won the State Title, as well as the Spirit Award when she attended the national finals competition. There is a video of it floating around on YouTube should you choose to indulge.

Lindsey decided to go to Brigham Young University for film school. In 2007, she began her first YouTube channel called Lindseystomp. On it, she recorded her first popular video which was a cover of Pump It Up by the Black-Eyed Peas.

From 2008 to 2009, since he took a break from her studies to do some missionary work in New York City with her church. When she returned, she changed her major to therapeutic recreation.

While she was on America’s Got Talent, she did well in Las Vegas. She is well-liked by the judges and her fans. Lindsey Stirling was characterized as a dance act instead of the musician, which could’ve hurt her in the long run. Lindsey ended up being eliminated from the competition. She wrote in her blog that she was publicly ripped apart by the judges, and she did not gain enough votes from the public in order to progress to the next stage. She wrote about her experiences and reminded herself that the most important thing was that she was supported by her family. Sharon Osbourne even told her that she would never be good enough to fill a theater in Vegas.
