We had the good fortune of connecting with Carey Dixon and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Carey, why did you decide to pursue a creative path?
I choose a career in music because my grandmother played organ at her church. I saw how it moved people and it inspired me. Another reason I got into the industry was I read a book in elementary school about Djing and it sparked my interest in the field.

Let’s talk shop? Tell us more about your career, what can you share with our community?
I say as a DJ what sets me apart is my love for music and also taking risk with breaking records. By paying attention to the streets and what artist are up and coming and showcasing there music to a different market. The thing I’m most proud about is being a taste maker in my market I work with different DJ crews and labels such as Atlantic Records,Quality Control Music, Xsquad DJs and Ateam DJs. The main thing I’m excited about is I assist Atlantic Records by running there DJ social media @atlanticelitedjs so I get to connect with DJs around the world making sure they are aware of the new artist and records available and send them out. It definitely hasn’t been easy I have made mistakes along the way but I have learned from them and trying to better myself in the process. What I want people to know about my brand and story is that if you set your mind to anything you can do it. It’s all about knowing what you want and going to go get it.

Any places to eat or things to do that you can share with our readers? If they have a friend visiting town, what are some spots they could take them to?
For a trip to Oklahoma City I would say go to a thunder game it’s always a great experience. Check out our different bars and clubs around the city. There’s also good places to eat here

Shoutout is all about shouting out others who you feel deserve additional recognition and exposure. Who would you like to shoutout?
My father and my mother were great encouragers while I was growing up. My dad taught me about working hard and how to treat people. My mom was a entrepreneur and showed me alot about business and also put me in music programs so I could learn everything I could.
