Lindsay Heather Pearce is an American actress and singer born on April 30, 1991. She gained recognition after being a runner-up on The Glee Project, a singing/acting reality show, which led to a guest starring role on the TV show Glee.
Pearce was born in Modesto, California, and is an adopted child. She has been involved in amateur shows since the age of 13 and has been deaf for the first six months of her life, which she believes helped her develop her ear for music.
