Eighteen-year-old Vancouver Island-raised singer / songwriter / actor, Alexandria Maillot, has travelled the world, won numerous talent contests (We Are Listening Singer/Songwriter Awards based in London) and has been featured on various music platforms like: 95.3 Virgin Radio, Six Flags "New Music Hour," 100.5 the Peak, American Airlines "In-Flight Entertainment," Ourstage.com and MTV – even Oprah Winfrey's website under the "World's Smartest and Talented Kids.” Oh, did I mention she was in the blockbuster Red Riding Hood starring Amanda Seyfried? This young girl with a big imagination will be blogging about love, loss, life lessons and trying to make it as an independent artist in a world of illegal downloads, generic pop and a kid named Bieber. This is the slightly peculiar, and mildly biased blog by a girl named Alexandria Maillot. But, you can call her Alex.
