Courtney LaPlante
Courtney LaPlante (born February 26, 1989) is an American singer best known as the lead vocalist of the Canadian heavy metal band Spiritbox. Born in the United States, LaPlante began singing in bands as a teenager after moving to Canada. She first gained success as the lead singer of the now-defunct American metalcore band Iwrestledabearonce. As the successor of the band's original vocalist, LaPlante recorded and performed with the band from 2012 until 2015. She left the group months after the release of her second album with them, Hail Mary (2015).
In 2016, LaPlante returned to Canada with longtime bandmate Mike Stringer, where the two married; they have played together in each of LaPlante's bands. Desiring to have their own creative identity following their experience in Iwrestledabearonce, the pair founded Spiritbox in 2017. They have released two studio albums, Eternal Blue (2021), Tsunami Sea (2025), and several extended plays.
In 2023, Jake Richardson of Loudwire included her in his list of the "10 Best Clean Singers in Metalcore". In 2025, Stephen Andrew Galiher of Vice included her in his list of "4 Metal Vocalists Who Mastered Both Screaming and Singing".
