KW: What first made you interested in singing?

KW: How did you get started?
- Alix: I started very young, so I kind of developed singing by remixing the ABC's and things like that. So I just gradually started doing it more and more every day!

KW: We hear you are also an actress and a model, which do you like doing the most?

KW: What are some of your hobbies outside of performing?
