Born and raised in Atlanta, Georgia, Dixson’s journey into music began within the sacred confines of the church, where his father presided as a pastor. Despite early exposure to musical expression, Dixson’s aspirations initially remained tethered to the church realm. “My dad, until I was about 18 or 19, really wanted me just to use my musical gifts in the church,” he reminisces. Amid familial expectations to follow in his father’s footsteps, whether through pastoral ministry or the family construction business, Dixson found his true calling resonating from behind a keyboard, with a drum machine, and into a microphone.

Mastering a staggering array of 11 instruments, Dixson’s talent catapulted him into the national spotlight in 2016 when he joined Pharrell’s team on NBC’s The Voice. This was just the beginning of his journey. He collaborated with various industry icons, from Justin Bieber to Kim Burrell and Peter CottonTale. However, his creative synergy with Chance the Rapper truly showcased the transformative power of music in his life, a power that his late father came to understand and appreciate.

The zenith of Dixson’s career was reached in 2021 with the release of his inaugural solo EP, ‘Darling.’ This marked a significant milestone in his artistic journey. However, the pinnacle of acclaim was yet to come; it arrived with an Oscar nomination for his collaboration with one of the music industry’s most iconic figures. As he prepared to grace the Oscars stage, Dixson carried not only his dreams but also the unfulfilled aspirations of his grandfather, a Paramount cinematographer whose legacy continues to inspire him. Amidst these triumphs, Dixson’s latest coup sees him in collaboration with Beyoncé on her latest album, a testament to his enduring impact on the musical landscape. From humble beginnings in the church to the glimmering heights of Hollywood recognition, Dixson’s odyssey epitomizes the transformative power of passion, perseverance, and the pursuit of one’s true calling
