Born in 1990 in Red Oak, Texas,[2] Stringfield attended Red Oak High School, graduating in 2008.[9] After leaving the secondary institution, the singer studied at The University of Texas, in Austin, Texas,[10] graduating in 2012[9] with a degree in Radio/TV/Film.[11]

Music career

After performing an internship with Warner Brothers Music,[3] the guitarist moved to Los Angeles, California in January 2012[12] to become part of American melodic metal bands Before the Mourning[3] and The Iron Maidens.[12]

In 2014, Stringfield and Before the Mourning parted ways,[13] after which time Stringfield joined Femme Fatale in May 2015.[14] In September 2015, The Iron Maidens brought the former guest guitarist on as a settled member for the ensemble.[15] Stringfield and The Iron Maidens vocalist Kirsten Rosenberg appeared as contestants on the August 3, 2017 episode of the music game show Beat Shazam.[16]

In 2017, Stringfield released music videos for her solo singles "Save Our Souls" and "As Chaos Consumes",[17] followed by "Heart Shaped Box" in 2018.[18]

In late 2018, Stringfield became a touring guitarist for American rock band Heaven Below.[6][7] In January 2019, she announced that she plans to release her debut solo EP some time that year.[19] In July 2019, the singer announced the title of the album, Harmonies for the Haunted,[20] with a September 2019 announcement that she expects to release the album on October 30, 2019.[21][22] On October 18, 2019, Stringfield debuted "When the Devil Comes Down", her first single from the EP.[23]
