Calvin Dixon on SoundBetter

Looking for artists that are exciting and refreshing , Something that feels better than sex, I’m not a producer who’s in it for the money and I’m brutally honest with the track . If your track sounds super refreshing I’m willing to do it for free based on a percentage. Highly recommend listening to my previous work,

I have been producing/Writing for 8 years. I have worked with several upcoming and known artists such as Anderson Paak, Mike Posner & Charisma. I have been working in studios with major production company's 1500 or nothin, have songs produced for Belly , Smiley, Nodis, Young Emotion, Anderson paak, Jay rock, Charisma, Ollie Gabriel, 070 shake & more.

My main genres are commercial chart music including pop, electronic, Hip Hop, Rock & dance. My writing is very Urban/Indie/Pop sounding and I work from my studio in L.A. Recently have articles on Billboard/The Source about my Track Invincible placed with the Black Eyed Peas from Songland. I have recent writing credits with Ryan Tedder & Will I am. With my own studio I have access to some great plugins, instruments, samples, virtual instruments and microphones. If you're in Los Angeles, you are welcome to come round to my studio to record! A lot of my SoundBetter clients are international clients and we work very effectively together.

    Calvin has been a godsend for my project. He is an excellent producer and really helped bring a story to life that I could have never done myself. We worked from start to finish on a 3 song EP that has turned out beyond my expectations. He has been very helpful throughout the whole process, and is always advising on what the next step should be. If you want your story heard come to Calvin!

  • Mike Posner ( INDIA tOUR)Apr 02, 2017

    When it was Posner’s turn, he too assumed his position on the keys before bandmate Calvin Dixon would take over for the rest of the set.In between songs, Posner, whose India tour was certainly a question mark for some time after his father passed away, said, “It’s incredible, I can’t believe I’m here. I hope to God it’s not my last.”
