Aaron Dixon (born 28 December, 1988), is a British drummer and singer, who is a member of the alternative rock boyband Jetfire. Dixon also sings lead vocals on several of the band's songs.

Career[edit | edit source]

Dixon attended high school with his two best friends Joey Nicholson and Mikey Thompson. The boys formed a band in their final year, and enlisted Sean Cotes, a boy in the year below them to join the band too, due to being aware of his guitar playing skills. After finishing school with 1 1GCSE's and 4 A Levels, the boys decided to try and break into the music bussiness. From 2009 to 2011 they managed to secure many small local gigs, but were unable to get a major label signing.

Before their fame, the band would post YouTube videos online, in the hopes of gaining more notice. Eventually they discovered a new talent show named The Uraps Factor, which was looking for auditionees in the Summer of 2011. The boys applied, not realising quite how enormous the show was going to become. Out of 192,000 entries, the band made it all the way to the live finals, were they were eliminated in the quarter final, finishing in 5th place.

Straight after appearing on the show, several labels showed strong interest in signing the boys, however the boys decided to sign with Next Generation Records, a fairly new label which focused on new and exciting music. In 2012, the boys released their self-titled debut album "Jetfire" which spawned four singles, "Tears In Your Eyes" which charted at #5 on the singles chart, "Turn Back Time" which gave the boys their first #1 single, "Midnight Trail" which peaked at #2 and "Dim The Lights" which gave the group their second #1 hit.

The band released their second album "Counting The Stars" in June 2016, alongside the lead single "Little Black Book", both of which charted at #1 in the UK and launched the band to international success. As of January 2017, the band have sold over five million records in the UK alone.

Outside of the band, Dixon has also formed a somewhat successful modelling career.

Aaron is often regarded as the "level headed" and realistic member of the band. He is described by the other members of the band as the 'glue' of the group. He keeps calm and is regarded as easy to get along with. Aaron often recieves a large amount of media attention due to his appearance, especially his torso. He has done several photoshoots topless due the high demand and is regarded as one of the hottest males in the music industry.

Personal life[edit | edit source]

Dixon has stated on several occasions that he likes to keep his private life personal and out of the public eye. However in January 2013, he began a relationship with Syd Wolfe. During 2014, it was revealed that Wolfe was pregnant, and on 10 October 2014 the couple welcomed a baby boy to the world named Apollo Xander Aaronite Wolfe. In November 2015, pictures of Syd kissing another man on a beach hit the headlines. Aaron's band mate Joey Nicholson revealed that the couple had not split, and that Syd was having an affair behind Aaron's back whilst he stayed home with their child. It was rumoured the couple had reconciled in the summer of 2016, which Syd confirmed in November 2016.
