Biography

Breathing new life into the Canadian music landscape, Vancouver Island “swoon rock” artist, Alexandria Maillot, takes listeners on a journey through lava-lamp-lit bedrooms and rain-soaked roads. Spinning sonic motifs of acoustic wonder and electric drive, Maillot’s sound is familiar yet refreshing - a favourite transistor radio playing classic vibes with a contemporary twist. With gritted, nuanced vocals reminiscent of Stevie Nicks, nostalgic narratives paired with the electro-pop playfulness of Alanis Morissette circa Jagged Little Pill, Maillot has been steadily gaining momentum in a post-genre era. Her debut album Time garnered national radio attention and widespread critical acclaim, and now, the budding of a new chapter begins with her full-length sophomore release, Benevolence. An active artist since the age of 7, Alexandria has an impressive list of accomplishments at the age of 27. She performed with Jann Arden at the Royal Ontario Museum, appeared on the Oprah Winfrey’s "World's Smartest and Most Talented Kids" program, cut vocals for Randy Bachman, played festivals across Canada, Europe and Africa, all before the age of 14. More recently, Alexandria has found rotation on numerous national radio stations, been featured on CBC Q with Tom Power, and toured extensively across North America and the EU.
