Pierre grew up in Windermere, Florida and attended school at the First Academy, a school run by the First Baptist Church of Orlando.[7]

Career

Pierre's career began as a boy soprano with a voice that the Orlando Sentinel described as "reminiscent of Michael Jackson's from the Jackson Five era."[7]
