Adam Lambert's Bio

Lambert, 27, grew up in Rancho Peñasquitos. He moved here from Indiana
with his parents when he was 1 and attended Deer Canyon Elementary
School, Mesa Verde Middle School in Poway and Mt. Carmel High School,
where he was in theater, choir and jazz band. He has one sibling, a younger
brother, Neil.

He said he’s wanted to be an entertainer since he was 10, and took private
voice lessons. His voice coach, Lynne Broyles, and Alex Urban, artistic director of the Children’s Theatre Network (now MET2) were influential mentors, convincing him he had talent, Lambert said.

He appeared in musicals – “Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat,” “Grease,” “Chess”(Moonlight Ampitheatre) – at the Starlight, the Lyceum and other local venues.

After high school, he moved to Orange County for college – and lasted
about five weeks. “I just decided that what I really wanted to do was try to
work in the real entertainment world,” he said. “Life is all about taking risks to
get what you want.” He moved to Los Angeles and did the starving artist
thing – cruddy apartments, cruddier paychecks.

More Musical Theatre credits included a six month tour of Hair (European Tour '03), 110 in the Shade (Pasadena Playhouse), On the 20th Century (Reprise!), Evita (Civic Light Opera of South Bay Cities).

In Hollywood he performed in the glam-rock revue "The Zodiac Show" at The Henry Fonda Music Box, and at the Key Club.

He was cast as Joshua in The Ten Commandments at the Kodak theater in 2004, opposite Val Kilmer. His tour de force performance became a press and crowd favorite with the New York Times calling him “the most consistent crowd-wower” and the LA Times stating that his “personal sound and style… (was) the best.” Shortly thereafter he landed a spot in the National tour of "Wicked" in 2005 then as an understudy as Fiyero in the Los Angeles Production cast in 2007/2008 at the Pantages Theatre.

Lambert said he’s been watching the show, now in its eighth season, since it
started. “But I never really pictured myself on it.” Friends from “Wicked”
pushed him to try out.

“One of the reasons why I waited to audition until I was older is because
before this, I would have crumbled,” he said. “I’ve got more experience, I’m
used to being in front of a crowd, and I’ve just grown up. Once you get to a
certain point in life, you can handle more.”

In the last couple of years, he said, “I’ve been branching out, doing my own
music.”He has been collaborating with Composer/Guitarist Monte Pittman
(Madonna) for close to three years. Together they've formed an
alt/pop/rock/electro band called THE CITIZEN VEIN -- “and it’s just been
kind of a natural progression. I know now that I want to make it in the
recording industry.”

I think it's safe to say "Mission accomplished"

His musical influences include David Bowie, Freddy Mercury, Robert Plant, Donny Hathaway, Steve Perry.
