Derek James Dixie is an American musician, record producer, and musical director best known for his work with Beyoncé, Chloe x Halle, and The Carters.[1] He has five Grammy nominations and one Emmy nomination.[2][3]

Early life and education

Dixie grew up in Youngstown, Ohio. He attended Youngstown State University and graduated from The Recording Workshop in Chillicothe, Ohio. Afterwards he taught audio engineering at The Recording Workshop.[4][5]

Career

MTV’s Making His Band with Sean "Diddy" Combs

In 2009, Dixie was one of 42 finalists in the MTV show "Making His Band," about Sean "Diddy" Combs’ search for a band to play on his upcoming album, Last Dance in Paris.[4]

Super Bowl

Dixie was the music director for Beyoncé’s solo Super Bowl halftime show performance in 2013 and again in 2016 when she co-headlined with Coldplay and Bruno Mars.[5]

In 2019, Dixie arranged and orchestrated a performance by Chloe x Halle for Super Bowl LIII with 30 Youngstown State University musicians and a Los Angeles horn and string ensemble.[5]

“I am proud that I was able to put such an important task in the hands of my hometown,” he said. “When you hear the arrangement, I hope you will feel that every note, chord and rhythm in the orchestration means something.”

Beyoncé

After almost ten years of working with Beyoncé as Music Director, Dixie received an Emmy nomination for Outstanding Music Direction for HOMECOMING: A Film by Beyoncé.[1]

Dixie worked with Beyoncé to create "Black Parade", an anthemic song (released on Juneteenth) celebrating her heritage, hometown and African roots, reflecting on the Black Experience in America.[6][7]
