Lincoln, born and raised in Indio, CA, grew up with a strong love for performing at an early age in front of his brothers and parents. They supported his love by encouraging him to be in his catholic school's Christmas shows. His newfound passion continued on into Drama club at Indio High School, where he led several productions, and was awarded Best Actor in his senior year.
