Music is part of Maxine's heart and soul! She started in the industry at 12 years old as the lead vocalist and the the drummer in her father Gordon Gallant's country music band. She played at country dance halls across PEI, selling out to crowds that wanted to hear this young girl perform. From there the rest is history as lead singer in several bands over the years ... country, pop, roots, and east coast music.

Over the last few years, her passion for writing and performing has grown fearlessly. And new songs are spilling out of her on a daily basis!
