Gabe Dixon is a Nashville-based artist. His music is piano-driven. He found his beginnings with the five piece Nashville based country band, Six Shooter. Between 1998 and 2010, he was lead singer of the three-piece band The Gabe Dixon Band. Since the band's break-up, Dixon works as a solo artist. He has released two albums: One Spark (2011) and Turns to Gold (2016). He is also the founder of the label Rolling Ball Records.

Gabe Dixon started early studying piano influenced by Billy Joel and Elton John. While studying at University of Miami, in 1999, he formed the three-piece band The Gabe Dixon Band alongside Jano Rix and Chandler Webber. He worked with producer/engineer Eddie Kramer to independently release their debut album, More Than It Would Seem. Upon graduation from the University of Miami, the band relocated to New York City and were signed to Reprise by David Kahne.

Dixon played keyboards and sang backing vocals on Paul McCartney's 2001 album, Driving Rain. Dixon also performed live with McCartney at the Concert For New York City, a September 11 fundraiser. McCartney offered Dixon the opportunity to join his world tour, but Dixon declined citing his plans for a new album.

The band released their major label debut, On a Rolling Ball in 2002. Three years later, they released the Live at World Cafe EP, which featured the song "All Will Be Well" which was featured in promos for the NBC show Conviction.

Following the Live at World Cafe EP, the band signed with Fantasy Records and released The Gabe Dixon Band in August 2008. The band toured the United States in 2008. "Find My Way" was the opening track to the film The Proposal in 2009. The band discontinued in 2010 with Gabe Dixon deciding to go solo.
