Beau Dixon

As a black artist living in Ontario, I feel the need to work harder than the average white artist in fear of being stigmatiized as an uneducated or unqualified practitioner in the entertainment industry. Although I identify myself as an African Canadian or person of mixed race, my skin colour does not define who I am. However, whether I'm acting, writing or composing music, I feel it is my responsibility to be an agent of change and growth in the work that I create.

Beau Dixon is a self-taught, multi award-winning Actor, Composer, Playwright and Sound Designer.
