- A former vice president of A&R at Arista Records, Dixon pursued opportunities "moonlighting" as a writer, producer and actress in independent films in New York and Los Angeles. Most recently, Dixon conceived and co-starred in Vivian (2002), a short film written, produced and directed by Aimee Dixon, Drew's older sister. "Vivian" which offers a light-hearted and imaginative personification of a most unexpected topic, a woman's monthly cycle, has won awards and critical acclaim on the festival circuit.
In 2002, Drew Dixon left Arista (and New York temporarily) to attend the M.B.A. program at Harvard Business School. She commented that "I hope to come back to New York in a few years with the resources to 'greenlight' a number of independent films myself. I'd like to finance filmmakers whose stories aren't currently being respresented. In so doing, I'd like to significantly impact the cultural discourse in our society."
In 2003, Drew Dixon became Drew Dixon Williams, when she married fellow M.B.A. classmate, Bo Williams. The couple plans to return to New York in June.- IMDb Mini Biography By: Alice Acemyan - Drew Dixon is the accomplished former Vice President of A&R at Arista Records, a former Director of A&R at Def Jam Recordings, the former General Manager of John Legend's independent label Homeschool Records, and the former manager of recording artist Estelle.
