Alexandria Maillot may only be 20 years old, but this Vancouver-based indie pop artist has a stunning voice, a resume that would make many a seasoned performer envious, and the potential every young musician strives for.
By the time Maillot was 16 she had been featured on MTV, had played Canada’s largest Canada Day celebration, had her music pumped through to 500,000 ears on American Airlines flights, played throughout Six Flags parks in the United States, and appeared on Oprah’s website. Not bad!
While Maillot’s songs have the charm we’d expect of a Canadian indie-pop project, she has also demonstrated an international demand for her music. She’s performed in Egypt and Romania, winning numerous competitions, caught the attention of impresario David Foster, and earned a spot onstage with famed singer Jann Arden during a televised concert in Toronto. She also inked a songwriting deal with Universal Music Group in Europe and has contributed songs to gold-certified recording artists.
For a taste of the artist in her element, check out 2012’s Just Another Girl and hear why she’s been dubbed “Canada’s answer to Adele.”
