Description
Lindsey Stirling(age 28) was born in Santa Ana, California.
She describes her childhood as being raised in a modest household and stated she "would not trade my humble childhood years for anything else".
Due to her family's financial limitations, her parents could only afford to find a violin teacher who would give half lessons.
Told by instructors, "a child isn't going to learn how to play in 15 minutes a week", her parents persisted and at the age of 5 she began violin lessons.
Living in Gilbert, Arizona at age sixteen,
Stirling attended Mesquite High School and joined four friends in a rock band called, "Stomp on Melvin".
As part of her experience with the group, Stirling wrote a solo violin rock song, and her performance helped her to win the state title of Arizona's Junior Miss and claim the Spirit Award in the America's Junior Miss Finals competition.
Stirling was also a member of Charley Jenkins Band for about a year.
