He had originally tried out for the show in season 10 along with his younger sister Schyler. However, both wound up not making it. For the season 11 auditions, Dixon went with his sister for moral support but got talked into auditioning by the judges. Both him and Schyler made it to Hollywood, but she ended up getting cut while he progressed through the competition. Dixon made it to the top 13 on March 1, 2012. He was eliminated on April 19, 2012, finishing in 7th place. Some have considered his elimination shocking due to Dixon having never been in the bottom 3 before. Despite singing a couple of duets together on the show, Dixon and fellow contestant Skylar Laine are not dating despite rumors saying otherwise. According to Laine at the time, she had a boyfriend. Dixon also denied the romance rumors to TVLine.com's Michael Slezak.
