Canadian Music Week has announced that Danya Dixon has been promoted to the role of Chief Executive Officer of the organization, effective immediately.


She has been with CMW for 11 years, most recently serving as vice-president of programming. Her father, Neill Dixon, is the co-founder of the long-running CMW and remains as president.

In 2016, Dixon turned her skills to the creation of the hugely successful O’Cannabiz Conference & Expo in Toronto and shepherded the project as it expanded into Vancouver and Niagara Falls. Her efforts in the evolving cannabis industry connect the worlds of politics, law, commerce, and culture.

Music News Digest: Bob Ezrin & Dennis Dunaway Remember The Colourful Rise of the Alice Cooper Group

Organized by concert promoter Lou Molinaro, The Ballad of Dwight Fry: The Horror-ific Truth Behind The Alice Cooper Group was performed twice last week in Ontario, at the Biltmore Theatre in Oshawa and Bridgeworks in Hamilton.

It featured a look back at The Alice Cooper Group through the eyes of superstar Toronto rock producer Bob Ezrin (Pink Floyd, Lou Reed, Kiss) and original bassist Dennis Dunaway. For almost two hours, armed only with minimal but well-chosen projected photos, the two swapped stories and observations about the seminal work they did together in the 1970s on the albums by that band that helped change the sound and look of rock in that decade.
