Charley Dixon Drops Empowering Afro-Tech Single “Get Up” Featuring Yedda
South African Afro-tech DJ and producer Charley Dixon has returned with a powerful new single titled “Get Up,” featuring the captivating vocals of Yedda. Released under the Intascore label, the track is now available on all major digital streaming platforms and marks a striking continuation of Dixon’s sonic evolution.
Fusing futuristic Afro-tech rhythms with soul-stirring vocal layers, “Get Up” is more than a club anthem—it’s a rousing call to action. The track pulses with energy and emotion, urging listeners to rise above self-doubt and pursue their truth with courage. “This song is about stepping into who you are without fear,” Dixon shared. “It’s about shaking off hesitation and going after the life you want.”
Originally from Barkly West, a small town near Kimberley in the Northern Cape, Dixon’s journey into music started in the vibrant heart of Johannesburg. After studying at Volume Music Academy in Braamfontein, she refined her craft as both a DJ and producer, laying the groundwork for a career defined by authenticity and bold innovation.
Her 2023 debut single, “Wagga,” served as a deeply personal tribute to her late father and signaled her emergence as a compelling voice in South Africa’s Afro-tech scene. Since then, Dixon has steadily carved out space in a genre often dominated by men, bringing her own blend of emotional depth, spiritual energy, and fearless experimentation to the fore.
“Get Up” is the first glimpse of a forthcoming project that will explore themes of identity, elevation, and unity—a body of work that promises to push boundaries while staying grounded in purpose. With dream collaborations in sight, including artists like Toshi, Msongi, Jordan Arts, Mpho Wav, Black Motion, and Spice Drumz, Dixon is aiming high while remaining deeply connected to her roots and community.
Born Charlotte Dickson, Charley Dixon is redefining what it means to be a woman in Afro-electronic music. With every release, she continues to inspire a new wave of artists by bridging emotion with innovation—and “Get Up” is yet another bold statement on her rising journey.
