Lonnie Alcide Gardner

Lonnie Alcide Gardner is from Vallejo, California and comes from a small family, mother was a sales associate and father was a retired veteran. Being a only child, he spent a lot of his time by himself forcing him to be creative. Since he can remember he has been drawing, writing lyrics, and thinking of new ideas. Going to a private Christian school, Lonnie was pushed to go the extra mile in his studies. Lonnie always did well in school, his family was full of business owners who told him that to open a business was the way to success. He never liked the idea, so in high school he decided to be creative in modeling and acting starting off in music videos and student films. Lonnie soon fell in love with his work, he had heard the story about how his uncle, now famous singer Johney Mathis, chose to do what he loved over money which inspired Lonnie. He then moved to Southern California to tackle his dream while continuing to do well in school.
