Nikki Sixx is the founder and the lead bassist of the band ‘Mötley Crüe’. Known for his crazy on-stage antics, Sixx has made it to the list of the ‘100 Most Influential’ Musicians of today. His career kick-started at the age of 17 and since then, he has gone on to become one of the most admired bassists in the genre of heavy metal around the world. He initially started off by performing in various bands in Los Angeles. Apart from his music career, his autobiography, ‘The Heroin Diaries: A Year in the Life of a Shattered Rock Star’ and ‘The Dirt’, became New York Times best-sellers. He currently hosts the morning radio show, ‘Sixx Sense with Nikki Sixx’ and ‘The Side Show Countdown’. He also has his own clothing line titled, ‘Royal Underground’. Initially, this line focused on men’s clothing and has now slowly expanded to women’s wear. Before he got into the world of music, he was making ends meet by working numerous dead-end jobs. However, he always dreamt of becoming a songwriter and also dreamt of putting together the ultimate ‘theatrical’ band, thus forming the ‘Mötley Crüe’.
