Beyoncé and Dixson Land Nomination at 94th Oscars for ‘Be Alive’

It’s official: Beyoncé is headed to the 94th Academy Awards in March.

It was announced that the global icon earned a Best Original Song nomination for “Be Alive,” co-written and co-produced with Dixson for King Richard. 

This recent nomination marks Beyoncé’s first in this music category. This is also Dixson’s first Oscar nod. 

Co-writing “Be Alive,” which was nominated in a similar music race at this year’s Golden Globes, is an experience that Dixson told Rated R&B holds dear to his heart.

“I’m very blessed to have a great team behind me. When the opportunity came, I said yes and did my best. When I turned my part of the song in, it wasn’t quite a complete thought. It became complete when she did what only Beyoncé can do.”  

When his work is up for major awards, Dixson remains humble. “Truly, I just want to be in service to the music,” he noted to Rated R&B earlier this year. “The acknowledgments, the accolades are not what I come to work for. So I’m encouraged to keep working and motivated to keep making the best music I can, honestly.” 

In other Dixson related news, he’s working on a two-part, concept project inspired by his theatrical past. 

He explained to Rated R&B, “The concept is really strong. I love that I’m the vessel that gets to deliver it. I’m a Black man, and I love it when I see the vulnerability of Black men in our world. I love watching people give of themselves in a way that we don’t normally get to see in the world. And that is what I’m trying to give with this project. So I hope people are ready.” 

Dixson last released DARLING, which was among Rated R&B’s best R&B albums of 2021 list.
