Early life

Lambert, a native of Everett, Washington, attended Mariner High School between 2003 and 2007. Her mother is also a recording artist.

She was born a Pentecostal Christian, but her family was kicked out of the church when she was six years old because her mother had come out as a lesbian. Later, Lambert converted to the Catholic Church of Mars Hill, beginning when she was in high school. Even after coming out as a lesbian at the age of 17. She has come to the conclusion after some time that being gay does not contradict Christianity, and that condemning gay people is antithetical to the Christian message.

Lambert was sexually assaulted as a child by her father and others, and she has described herself as "ending up being a depressed eight-year-old." As an escape from her chaotic and traumatic household, she learned how to play piano and write songs at age 6.

Lambert joined Cornish College of the Arts in 2007 and graduated with a Bachelor of Music in composition.
