Mykel Dixon

Catch Mykel on Do Radio: Tomorrow's World with Jon Kaye 20-26 October 2025.

Myke is a nomadic creative at heart. He is a musician by trade, anti-perfectionist by design, and speaker by calling. He’s worked with Fortune 500 companies and bold startups alike, helping teams rediscover what work can feel like: alive, expressive, and full of possibility.

He doesn’t just talk about creativity, he performs it. His keynotes mix music, poetry, storytelling, and audience interaction. His offsites and workshops are designed to break routine and reconnect people with what really matters: culture, connection, and creativity.

He’s the author of Everyday Creative, a guide to bringing magic back to work and was named Breakthrough Speaker of the Year in Australia.

His life has been as eclectic as his work. He bought a beach bar in Cambodia by accident, spent a month in silence at an Indian ashram, and busked on city streets to survive. All of it feeds into his core belief that creativity isn’t a nice-to-have, it’s who we are.
