Nikki Sixx (born Frank Carlton Serafino Feranna Jr.;[1][2] December 11, 1958) is an American musician, best known as the co-founder, bassist, and primary songwriter of the heavy metal band Mötley Crüe, being the only member to remain throughout their entire history.[1] Prior to forming Mötley Crüe, Sixx was a member of Sister before going on to form London[1] with his Sister bandmate Lizzie Grey.[3] In 2000, he formed side project group 58 with Dave Darling, Steve Gibb and Bucket Baker, issuing one album, Diet for a New America. Also in 2002,[4] he formed the hard rock supergroup Brides of Destruction with L.A. Guns guitarist Tracii Guns.[5] Formed in 2006, initially to record an audio accompaniment to Sixx's autobiography The Heroin Diaries: A Year in the Life of a Shattered Rock Star,[6] his side band Sixx:A.M. featured songwriter, producer, and vocalist James Michael and guitarist DJ Ashba.[6]

Sixx has also worked with a number of artists and groups, co-writing and/or producing songs, such as Sex Pistols's guitarist Steve Jones, Lita Ford, Alice Cooper,[1] Meat Loaf,[7] Marion Raven,[8][9] Drowning Pool,[10] Saliva and The Last Vegas, among others.

Sixx launched the clothing line "Royal Underground" in 2006 with Kelly Gray, formerly the co-president and house model of St. John.[11] Initially the label concentrated on men's clothing[12] before expanding into women's apparel.[13] In 2010, Premiere Radio Networks launched nationally syndicated rock/alternative music radio programs "Sixx Sense" and "The Side Show Countdown" with both based in Dallas, Texas and hosted by Sixx and co-hosted by Jenn Marino.[14]
