With fierce honesty and a firecracker sound, rising singer-songwriter Caryn Dixon releases her powerful new single ‘Bird in a Cage,’ now streaming on all major platforms. Built on striking imagery like “bottle caps on the ground, tiptoe through this quiet house, holding my shoes,” the song hits an emotional chord with anyone who’s ever felt stuck, silenced, or ready to break free. “‘I wrote ‘Bird in a Cage’ about realizing you’ve outgrown the version of yourself that stayed quiet just to keep the peace,’” Dixon shares. “It’s about the slow build: the tiptoeing, the unspoken things, the feeling of being small in your own life. I wanted to capture what it feels like to walk on eggshells and then finally decide to break free.”
Dixon describes her sound as “country-ish,” blending country, rock, bluegrass, folk, and pop with fearless creativity. Known for her energetic and heartfelt performances, she’s been called a “barn burner” by fans and insiders alike. Her debut five-track EP is out now, marking another major step in her journey as one of the next great country-influenced storytellers. Rooted in empowerment and authenticity, Dixon’s music speaks especially to women balancing ambition and family, reminding listeners that it’s possible to chase dreams without compromise.
