Nikki Sixx is rock royalty. He is the bass player and songwriter for Mötley Crüe which is one of the most successful rock bands of all time. Since their first gig in
1981, the band has sold 40 million albums, and has performed on every continent. Its just-completed “Carnival of Sins” tour was the sixth-highest grossing concert tour of that year.
Nikki’s personal story is the stuff of dreams: he had a fractured and fragmented youth, surviving the harshness of street life. But he was determined that the world would one day hear the music of his soul.
Whether through destiny or design, Mötley Crüe happened, and Nikki’s world was transformed. He became an iconic figure in the music world, beloved by millions, winning
awards and accolades everywhere.
Throughout it all, Nikki has remained committed to his children, and delights in living a sober lifestyle. He is a best-selling author, (co-writer of the rock bible “Dirt” which is slated to become a major motion picture). In 2007, his memoir, “The Heroin Diaries: A Year in the Life of a Shattered Rock Star“ was published by Simon & Schuster. Nikki is also an acclaimed artist, songwriter and photographer. He has always designed his own clothes, be that for the stage or for his ‘regular’ life. Royal Underground is the result of his organic and profound passion for clothing.
