Hailee Steinfeld Lyrics and Profile

Hailee Steinfeld, born in 1996 in Los Angeles, California, is an American actress who has also had major success in the music world despite only recently entering the industry. Well-known for her portrayal of Mattie Ross in the film True Grit - which was released in 2010 and earned Steinfeld a Best Supporting Actress Nomination at the Academy Awards - she also appeared in the sci-fi film Ender’s Game. Steinfeld also played perhaps the most famous female part of all time – that of Juliet in the 2013 film adaptation of William Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet.

However, it was her role as Emily Junk in the 2015 film Pitch Perfect 2 that started a new career in the music business for Steinfeld. Her singing voice, heard by many for the first time in the film, was put to good use when she released a cover version of the Jessie J song Flashlight after the film’s release, and went on to sign a record deal with Republic records. Since then, she has released a single, Love Myself, and an accompanying music video.

. In 2016, she released "Starving", a collaboration with both Grey and Zedd, which peaked at number 12 on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100. In addition to her acting and singing careers, Steinfeld also has done modeling work; she was hired as the face of Miu Miu in 2011, shortly after True Grit was released.
