I started writing songs in 2009 even playing support for a local band Monorail in the Crane Lane.In 2014 I decided to pursue my music career full-time.Setting out with my acoustic guitar and a handful of original songs.I am playing every opportunity I can get my hands on whether it's Busking on the streets or regularly making an appearance at Cork's numerous open mic nights and singer-songwriter showcases. At the weekend I play in pubs throughout the Munster area.

My major musical influences are The Beautiful South, Johnny cash, Bob Dylan, Ben Howard and Damien Rice.

My younger sister Leanne Dixon is set to release her debut EP 'slide away, sail away' in May and I wrote all six tracks on the EP.
