Biography
Alexandra Hernandez was born in Saint Pierre and Miquelon in 1981,[1][2] the daughter of an Algerian father and Miquelonnais mother.[3] Her mother is of Acadian background, dating back to the colonists' arrival on the archipelago.[4]
At age 18, Hernandez left the territory to study music at the University of Montreal,[3] where she studied saxophone for five years.[2] In 2004, after college, she moved to France.[3] There, she learned guitar and began writing songs, taking first prize in several European competitions.[2]
Her music is multicultural, balancing between her French and North American roots.[5] She sees herself as neither French, Acadian, or North American, but all three.[4] She "seeks to strengthen the ties between the French archipelago and its Canadian neighbors, the Atlantic Provinces."[6][7]
After settling for a period in Landes[1][3] and dividing her time between France, Quebec, and Saint Pierre and Miquelon,[8] Hernandez returned permanently to her home territory in 2015.[4] In 2017 she created the Festival Les Transboréales, an annual music festival in Saint Pierre and Miquelon.[6][9] It aims to bring together French and Canadian artists in unusual locations on the remote archipelago.[10][11]
Hernandez's work has been featured by the French Consulate-General in Moncton, Canada, as part of the Acadie Rock Festival, a celebration of Acadian culture.[6][12] She also represented her home country at a joint concert celebrating Overseas France at the Olympia in Paris in 2019.[13][14]
In additional to her musical efforts, Hernandez is also a poet. Her poems appeared in the book Saint-Pierre et Miquelon: Terre de Passions, in collaboration with the photographer Gregory Pol, in 2016.[15]
