"Strange Way To Live"
Carl Dixon's autobiography
Carl Dixon''s journey through the twists and turns of a music performer''s life began in Northern Ontario, where his boyhood dreams, shaped by the 1960s, collided with a new musical culture.
Though Carl''s road was rocky, it was still paved with gold. It has led from his early days with hard-rockers Coney Hatch to tours and lasting friendships with huge acts like Iron Maiden. The ups and downs were meteoric, as Carl became a member of the legendary bands The Guess Who and April Wine and then faced the greatest test of all: a horrific auto collision in Australia that left him in a coma, barely clinging to life.

The greatest comeback since Team Canada '72 - Ron MacLean, broadcaster
Carl Dixon is one of Canada's most compelling voices literally and figuratively. From his start as the lead singer of Canadian rock band Coney Hatch, he played and sang in The Guess Who and April Wine - three iconic bands - and is a celebrated solo artist. Carl has performed for hundreds of thousands over a forty year career but it was a near fatal car accident in 2008 that transformed him from rock legend into resilience expert. Having survived 50+ catastrophic injuries including traumatic brain injury, he's made a remarkable comeback. Carl now brings that extraordinary story - and his S.T.A.R.T. formula - to corporate stages, combining powerful keynote storytelling with live musical performance for an experience that audiences never forget.

The Music carldixon.com @CarlDixonMusic
At just 22 Carl was signed to his first international record deal with CONEY HATCH. Featured on MTV and opening for Iron Maiden and Judas Priest's North American tours was "like rock music university" but along the way Carl made significant personal choices that would later prove to be the difference between life and death. He also befriended NHL great Pat Stapleton - his key mentor - so when Carl's biggest smackdown came, in the form of a catastrophic car accident in rural Australia, Carl had the resolve to find a way back to life. His showmanship and open candour bring a compelling energy to the speaker platform.

TESTIMONIALS
"Carl did a wonderful job of sharing his message and opening our employees minds to a new way of thinking"
MUSTANG RANDALL, TRANS CANADA PIPELINE
"One of the hardest things we do as safety professionals, is try to deliver a message that sticks. For us the hallmark of achievement, is when we hear that people have adopted the information we have given them, at home. Even better, shared it with their families. This tells us that they have truly started to develop a safety culture of their very own, one that could likely last generations. Achieving this is understandably quite rare. Carl, after your run of shows here I received feedback from DOZENS of people that they went home and shared your message, story, and learnings, with their families."
Dale Harris, CRSPSr. Supervisor, Safety & Security. Nutrien, Canada
