"King of Coins" is the electrifying result of an unexpected creative spark between platinum-selling violinist Lindsey Stirling and GRAMMY®-winning string duo ARKAI. Born from a spontaneous studio jam, the track captures an undeniable chemistry between visionary artists who have each redefined new possibilities in the instrumental scene
Fusing cinematic orchestration, virtuosic strings, electronic production, and dubstep energy, "King of Coins" is a sonic journey built around the tension between strength and vulnerability — the courage to face adversity, embrace uncertainty, and emerge stronger. The song embodies the spirit of the collaboration itself: the meeting of two boundary-pushing artists who have challenged conventions in string music, combining Lindsey’s iconic legacy with ARKAI’s cutting-edge artistry to create something entirely their own.
Few artists embody the boundless creativity and gifts of award-winning and platinum-selling artist Lindsey Stirling. Since her 2012 self-titled debut, she has redefined what a solo instrumentalist can be commercially — pairing virtuosic playing with high-energy choreography and cinematic visual storytelling to build one of the largest independent followings in music with over 14 million YouTube subscribers and 4 billion cumulative views. Her chart-topping albums, including her Gold-certified self-titled debut and Shatter Me, which spent 21 weeks atop Billboard's Classical Album chart, have earned two Billboard Music Awards for Top Dance/Electronic Album. Over a decade of headline tours have sold over 1 million tickets worldwide, cementing her status as one of the preeminent performing artists of her generation. A collaborator who moves fluidly between musical worlds, she's paired her violin with artists spanning rock, pop-punk, dubstep, and pop balladry, constantly pushing the boundaries of what genre-blending can sound like.
Among the most dynamic and visionary string duos today, ARKAI has earned international acclaim for their boundary-pushing artistry, innovative collaborations, and electrifying live performances. Graduates of The Juilliard School, ARKAI’s trailblazing journey includes major prestigious stages like Carnegie Hall, GRAMMY® Museum, EMMY Awards, and TED Talks. Their versatility has led to collaborations with celebrity photographer David LaChapelle, opening for GRAMMY® and Oscar-winning pianist Jon Batiste, performances at the 2026 NBA Finals at Madison Square Garden, and chart-topping releases with pianist Tony Ann. ARKAI’s sophomore album Brightside recently won a GRAMMY® Award in the Best Contemporary Instrumental category.
