INDY DIXON @ TC STREET RALLY- SOUTH BRONX, NY
INDY DIXON @ FAITH WORLD- ORLANDO, FL
I was born in Rio Piedras, Puerto Rico; raised on classic rock and latin music. My dad's a Pentecostal pastor and percussionist who taught me to appreciate all music from Jimi Hendrix to Tito Puente; my mom's a poet and missionary who taught me the value of a hug.
As a teen I had the opportunity to perform at venues such as the UN Global Youth Forum, Tribeca Arts Center, Earth Day NY, The Roundabout Theatre, and The Learning Channel. I was also blessed with the opportunity to travel to many different countries, an experience which I believe to be an integral part of my songwriting.
In 2003, the Indira Ortiz Band was awarded best new artist at the Judah Music Conference, Faith World, Orlando, Florida and in August of 2006 I made the move from NYC to Florida to start recording my first full album with Kirk McKim, an amazingly talented guitarist and producer (Pat Travers Band) based in Orlando.
Not long after that I met Stephen Dixon, who is also an amazingly gifted musician and producer, but most importantly my very best friend. He finally figured out why I stuttered every time he tried to talk to me, and asked me to marry him. We got married on the beach in the Outer Banks, NC and began working at the Roanoke Rapids Theatre in North Carolina; Steve as the music director/band leader and I as a singer and vocal captain.
We released our first EP "I Will Not Surrender" on April 1, 2008, and toured the east coast in support of that project during that summer. By July our show at the theatre had closed, but September found us working at Cornerstone Assembly in New Bern as Music Pastors and Creative Arts Directors, by the grace of God. We truly feel that we are a part of a wonderful family here in Cornerstone and are very much looking forward to all the things that God is doing with us and through us this year!
