Adam Mitchel Lambert entered the world on January 29, 1982. While Adam was growing up, his mother Leila worked as a dental hygienist and his father Eber managed programs at Novatel Wireless, although Leila eventually went into interior design.
Neil, Lambert’s younger brother, was born after the family relocated to San Diego. Adam’s mother is Jewish, thus he naturally grew up learning the Hebrew language and customs.
Lambert started appearing in plays at the age of nine with the Metropolitan Educational Theatre network, and she has since been in professional productions of “You’re a Good Man, Charlie Brown,” “Grease,” “Hello, Dolly!” and “Peter Pan.”
Adam participated in musical theater, jazz band, and chorus at Mount Carmel High School. He traveled to Orange County after high school to attend California State University, Fullerton, but after just five weeks he decided to focus on his profession in Los Angeles instead.
