There are many who try all their life to be famous and then they die in the dark and there are those who without even trying end up like stars in the heavens. The second class is where you will find Colton Dixon. He is a Christian singer and songwriter who came to the attention of several people when he was forced to sing in front of American Idol judges after accompanying his sister. Since then he has become a very strong voice in the gospel music scene.

The singer was born as Michael Colton Dixon on October 19, 1991 in Murfreesboro, Tennessee. He was raised here in a middle-class family, alongside his music-loving sister.

For his education, Dixon attended Middle Tennessee School, where he graduated in 2009. Although he made a guest appearance in “Hannah Montana: The Movie,” his calling seems to be primarily for music, not acting. theater.
It has one of the most interesting backstories in American Idol. The first time he went on American Idol was in season 10. He went on the show alongside his sister, Schyler Dixon, who pressured him to audition. Both passed the audition, but were unfortunately eliminated early before going too far.
Naturally, that could have been the end of the road for both of them, but it wasn’t for Schyler who decided to set out again for the 11th season. This time, she was the only one to audition but her brother accompanied her. When she was on hand to audition, the judges learned that she had come with Colton and they had invited him. After much persuasion, he also auditioned and for a second time, the siblings passed.
Unfortunately, Schyler didn’t go overboard. In Las Vegas, Colton Dixon, who had never made it to the bottom three, was eliminated, ending his run for American Idol.
Even before his elimination, Dixon had already become a household name to many and that gave him a good place to start his career. He has been invited to perform at many events. In 2012, the Christian Broadcasting Network invited him to attend the White House Correspondents’ Dinner.
In 2013, he released his debut album , A Messenger which topped the US Christian Albums weekly charts as it ended the year peaking at #9.

In 2015, then 23-year-old Colton proposed Annie Coggeshall from Disney World in Florida and sure enough, she said yes. They finally tied the knot in Nashville in January 2016 at an event that hosted 160 guests at the Scarritt Bennett Center with an appearance by Christian singer, Steven Curtis Chapman.
