Paul Dixon (born 8 August 1989 in London) is an English singer-songwriter and guitarist. He was known in the years 2010–2012 as David's Lyre, but is now using the musical project name Fyfe.

He picked the name David's Lyre during his university studies in Manchester, in reference to the musical skills of the biblical King David with the lyre. As well as playing acoustic and electric guitar, Dixon plays the WEM CopyCat, Autoharp, Marxophone and Omnichord.

He was featured by The Guardian as 'New band of the day' in 2010, by which time he had received attention for cover versions (of Ellie Goulding among others), remixes of other artists – notably, Marina and the Diamonds and Everything Everything – and had himself been remixed by producers The Last Skeptik and JaKwob.

His debut EP release in 2011, In Arms, was described as "promising" by BBC reviewer Mike Diver, and drew comparisons with Patrick Wolf for its blend of folk and electronic instruments. A music video was released for "In Arms", using a short film animation which fitted the song.

Dixon had signed a record contract with a major label in 2010, but the relationship ended in 2011, before releasing an album. Instead, his first full album Picture of Our Youth was self-released through Bandcamp in February 2012.

Picture of Our Youth was rated 3.5 out of 5 by musicOMH, which concluded that it was "intriguing", and 8/10 by Drowned in Sound, which described David's Lyre as "brilliant".

Dixon announced in January 2012 that Picture of Our Youth would be his last album issued under the project name David's Lyre, and that his next step would be performing solo on tour with Spector.

Dixon now records and performs under the alias Fyfe. Having signed with Believe Recordings, Fyfe released his debut album Control on 9 March 2015. The album includes the singles, "For You", "Holding On" and "Solace", and followed the self-released four-song EP titled Solace EP released in April 2013.

The Space Between was released on 9 June 2017.
