Hailee Steinfeld

Hailee Steinfeld, born December 11, 1996, is an American singer and actress who first rose to fame in film before establishing herself as a pop artist. Her breakout acting role in the 2010 western True Grit earned her an Academy Award nomination, but by her early twenties she had shifted significant focus toward music, signing with Republic Records after developing her songwriting from a young age.

Her early singles, including «Love Myself» and «Starving» (with Zedd and Grey), showcased a polished, radio-friendly pop-electronic sound with R&B and rock textures woven throughout her catalog. «Starving» became an international hit and helped define her as a serious pop presence beyond her acting career. She continued building momentum with tracks like «Most Girls» and «Let Me Go», a collaboration with Alesso, Florida Georgia Line and watt.

Steinfeld's music often explores themes of self-empowerment and identity, delivered with a bright, emotive vocal style suited to both dance-pop production and more stripped-back ballads. She has balanced her recording career with continued acting work, making her one of the more prominent multi-hyphenate artists to emerge from the mid-2010s pop landscape.
