Nikki Sixx is one of the most respected, recognizable, and
entrepreneurial icons in the music industry. As the founder of
Motley Crue who is now in his twenty-first year of sobriety, Sixx
is incredibly passionate about his craft and wonderfully open about
his life in rock and roll, and as a person of the world. Born
Franklin Carlton Feranna on December 11, 1958, young Frankie was
abandoned by his father and partly raised by his mother, a woman
who was ahead of her time in some ways and deeply troubled in
others. Frankie ended up living with his grandparents, bouncing
from farm to farm and state to state. He was an all-American
kid-hunting, fishing, chasing girls, and playing football-but
underneath it all, there was a burning desire for more, and that
more was music. He eventually took a Greyhound bound for Hollywood.
In Los Angeles, Frank lived with his aunt and his uncle-the
president of Capitol Records. But there was no short path to the
top. He was soon on his own. There were dead-end jobs: dipping
circuit boards, clerking at liquor and record stores, selling used
light bulbs, and hustling to survive. But at night, Frank honed his
craft, joining Sister, a band formed by fellow hard-rock veteran
Blackie Lawless, and formed a group of his own: London, the
precursor of Motley Crue. Turning down an offer to join Randy
Rhoads' band, Frank changed his name to Nikki London, Nikki Nine,
and, finally, Nikki Sixx. Like Huck Finn with a stolen guitar, he
had a vision: a group that combined punk, glam, and hard rock into
the biggest, most theatrical and irresistible package the world had
ever seen. With hard work, passion, and some luck, the vision
manifested in reality - and this is a profound true story finding
identity, of how Frank Feranna became Nikki Sixx. And it's a road
map to the ways you can overcome anything, and achieve all of your
goals, if only you put your mind to it.
