Lindsey has amassed over 12.5 million subscribers, nearly three billion views on YouTube, three million followers on Tik Tok, and over 500k user-generated creations across Tik Tok and Instagram reels. In addition to this, Forbes placed her at #4 on its 2015 World’s Top-Earning YouTube Stars list and her fifth-studio album, Artemis, debuted at #1 on the Dance/Electronic Album Chart.

Mike’s inimitable spirit and incredible ability behind the keys gave the band a sturdy foundation on which to create and inspire that will be sorely missed. In the wake of his passing and after much difficult consideration, the band decided to move forward in Mike’s honor and continue to spread the incredible legacy that he left behind.
