ST. PETERSBURG, FL — A Michigan-based musician who has spent months performing in St. Petersburg did a 180-degree career change after he attended a life-changing festival. From a career in technology, the national touring electric violinist, who prefers only to go by Dixon, radically changed his life.
He started playing the violin when he was 10 years old.
"I was curious about the violin, and the deal was, my parents said, 'If we're going to buy you a starter violin, then you have to promise to practice for an hour a day'," Dixon said in a Patch interview. "And they held me to that until high school when I rebelled. I said, 'I will practice when I want.'"
