Early life

Pearce was born in Modesto, California, on April 30, 1991, and Carol and Gregory Pearce adopted him. She was deaf for the first six months of her life, which made her appreciate her ear for music later in life. She has been adopted into a very athletic family; all three of her brothers played sports, and one, Heath Pearce, went on to be a professional soccer player.

Pearce and her family moved to Portland, Oregon, so her dad could attend Multnomah University. Lindsay was discovered performing at a local university and then recommended to her parents that they do something about her talent, which led to her parents' admission that they should do something about her talent. Pearce got involved in the children's community theatre division of Townsend Opera Players and then continued doing community theatre after returning to Modesto.

Pearce attended Modesto Christian High School until her sophomore year, when she decided to leave and apply to other colleges because there was no such thing as an arts program. She later attended Valley Charter High School to complete her high school education while also taking full-time college classes at Modesto Junior College, where she studied theatre and was able to participate in college drama.

Pearce intended to attend a four-year university for musical theatre and applied to many, including Elon University, when she was 19 years old, but she was refused admission to any. She intended to complete another semester at Modesto Junior College and then reapply. During this period, she appeared in Valley's Got Talent, a talent competition in Modesto, California, which she won after singing Gimme Gimme from Thoroughly Modern Millie. Robert Ulrich, the casting director for both Glee and The Glee Project, was a judge for the contest and later encouraged her to audition for The Glee Project.

Career

Pearce auditioned for The Glee Project, a singing/acting reality competition in which the winner will receive a seven-episode arc on the third season of Glee. Her name became "the theater girl" throughout the show, mainly because the show's designers and other participants felt she was always enacting rather than trying to reveal her true feelings, even when asked. She made it to the show's finale but didn't win the competition; however, the show's producers gave her and the other runner-up, Alex Newell, each a two-episode arc on Glee.

Harmony, a young and talented singer who shocks characters Kurt and Rachel when they hear her and her company perform a mash-up of "Anything Goes" from the musical Annie Get Your Gun in the third season premiere of Glee.

Harmony was "brilliantly brought to life" by Pearce and Emily VanDerWerff of The A.V., according to critics such as TVLine's Michael Slezak and others. "She may be the best new person ever," the club's president wrote. After the episode aired, the mash-up was released as a single for digital download. Harmony appeared in "Hold On to Sixteen," the lead singer of a separate group, the Unitards, a rival show choir competing against the show's main glee club, New Directions, for the second time.

Pearce was lauded for her interpretation by Billboard's Rae Votta, who said she was a "fantastic singer." Harmony informs Kurt that she is a sophomore, leaving open the possibility that she will return to the program in future seasons.

The "Anything Goes" mash-up / "Anything You Can Do" mash-up was well-received. Respers France named Pearce's appearance as the episode's best moment of the series, and she found that the actress reminisced her of "Glee of old." Lee's songs were also a favorite, and he wrote that the actress's intensity was perfectly proportioned to the character's temperament. West, Slezak, and Benigno gave the performance a "A"; the former called it a "outstanding rendition" that "felt like it belonged to a big stage or in a big-screen musical," and the latter two lauded her vocal talent, which Benigno deemed unequal on Glee.
