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.

Megadeth Bring Global Farewell Tour Across the Country: Canadian Concerts of the Week

Plus, Montreal’s Loud brings his melodic rap sensibilities to his hometown, Jully Black shines as she returns to the stage in Vancouver and more.

Megadeth are coming to Canada on their farewell tour. Last summer, the heavy metal quartet announced their final hurrah, including their last album, a self-titled effort that landed at No. 4 on the Billboard Canadian Albums chart and became their first No. 1 album on the Billbaord 200. As they take the stage for the final time in Canada, it’s a fitting way to close out an acclaimed decades-long career.

Francophone rapper Loud brings his signature flow to his home province, while rock band +LIVE+ continues its cross-Canada trek — against the wishes of former band members.Indie rock outfit Rainbow Kitten Surprise performs two colourful shows in Toronto, and Canadian icon Jully Black is back on the west coast for the first time in over a decade
