‘Cortney Dixon is South Shields answer to Blondie with her fun garage punk pop’ - Chris Hawkins, BBC 6 Music

‘I can't get enough of Cortney Dixon 'Stop This Party'... I really, really like this track. It's got hints of Haim and Wolf Alice. The indie guitar pop I just needed tonight on the show.’ - Gemma Bradley, BBC Radio 1 Introducing.

“I’m getting proper Strokes-y vibes on the guitars on that track. Obviously a future indie anthem and a half!’ - Emily Pilbeam, Tom Robinson’s BBC 6 Music Mixtape

Cortney Dixon is an artist, producer, songwriter and guitarist from the coastal town of South Shields in the North of England. It’s from this post industrial pasture that she propels herself as an entirely uplifting and unique force of nature.

Cortney has written, produced and recorded a body of work in her studio in Newcastle which deftly blends her down to earth punky DIY roots with a well crafted aspirational pop glamour. The latest self produced manifestation of her sound harnesses her experiences & inspirations and channels them into a slick six track EP. Carefully crafted, it cuts with ease through garage rock, fuzzy indie and power pop.

Freshly back from a successful 9 gig run at SXSW in Austin, TX, Cortney’s next single, ’If You Love Somebody, Don’t Fuck It Up’ is inspired by the likes of Blondie & Amyl and The Sniffers and is out May 23rd. A raucous, anthemic, in your face, punky track that closes Cortney’s live sets. Audiences can’t help but shout along to this one. With 3 more singles to follow, Cortney will release her EP ‘Hazard A Guess’ in September complete with an artfully inspired limited run of vinyl records.

Cortney’s style doesn’t stop at sound, it oozes through every visual - from forward thinking fashion to fast paced and self-produced music videos. Her live shows with the band bring it all together having supported the likes of Johnny Marr, and off on a UK tour in April supporting LEAP. Her magnetic charm shines on stage amongst her gritty guitar licks and irresistible vocals. A fiercely creative and original artist, Cortney has built a world for herself in which anything can happen.
