Keanu Reeves, Robert de Niro, David Letterman, Stevie Wonder: Scott Tixier is in high demand among the artistic elite.
Dallas' best dancers, musicians and composers will come together on Friday, June 21, and Saturday, June 22, at thePegasus Contemporary Ballet
Relocating to North Texas after a whirlwind of success spanning 15 years in New York came relatively easy for Tixier. The musician is no stranger to picking up and leaving at a moment’s notice. Born just outside of Paris, Tixier and his identical twin brother Tony showed considerable talent for music starting from the age of 3. The brothers attended several prestigious music schools growing up, and by the age of 6, both had chosen their instruments for life.
“When I was 20, I left Paris thinking I’d stay in New York for a month, but I never came back,” Tixier says. “Paris is a village next to New York City. I came to New York to challenge myself. I was stuck artistically and wanted to open myself to new horizons. When you are 20, life seems like it’s for an eternity, so I was young and ready to go.”
“I didn’t know who he was, and I didn’t have a television,” Tixier says."The next week I’m at David Letterman’s studio and it’s cold as hell, like 54 degrees. Letterman comes up to me and says, ‘Welcome to the show’ and I played the show. Afterwards, the girl and I go to a bar to see ourselves on TV. She really gave me my first shot and opened all the doors for me.”and then toured the U.S. with Stevie Wonder, playing Madison Square Garden with the legendary songwriter.
Later, Tixier was contacted about the party and was picked up by a car after settling on a generous sum of money for his services. As he entered the dining room hosting the small party, he was amazed at the dinner guests.
