James Michael

James Michael is the melodic voice of the band Sixx: A.M. Sixx: A.M.'s hit song "Life is Beautiful" topped the rock charts in 2007 on their debut album. Two albums later, Sixx: A.M. is still creating rockin' hits like "Lies of the Beautiful People"  and "Stars." They just finished their first headlining tour which I was able to catch this past spring. James is an amazing frontman and had performed with a giant smile the majority of the concert. You can tell that band has so much fun together!

Besides fronting this killer rock band, Michael is also a producer and songwriter. He's worked with Papa Roach, Kelly Clarkson, Halestorm, Motley Crue, Meat Loaf, and many more artists.

Nikki Sixx is a musician, photographer, author, and radio show host. He's the bassist and songwriter of two successful bands that I love - Motley Crue and Sixx: A.M.  Nikki's radio show Sixx Sense can be heard nationwide.  He's also authored three books - The Dirt, The Heroin Diaries, and This Is Gonna Hurt.  He's even been featured here twice before (and will be again!).

What book does Nikki Sixx recommend?

Last week Nikki tweeted, "Greatest book ever for ignoring the critics inside and outside your head.It also gives you tools to remove the crazy makers from your life. I have talked about this book for years to friends, on Sixx Sense and I am always giving this book away as a gift.If your a creative soul I suggest this and doing the morning pages daily it recommends.#ArtistsWay #PassingItOn #Creativity."

With the tweet, Sixx posted a photo on Instagram of The Artist's Way: A Spiritual Path to Creativity by Julia Cameron.

Well, looky here! :)

Listen to one of my fave songs from Sixx: A.M.'s last album.

Nikki Sixx

Nikki Sixx is one of my all time favorite musicians. He is bassist and song writer for three awesome bands: Motley Crue, Sixx: A.M., and Brides of Destruction (who are no longer together). I've seen all three bands live, and they are amazing. My fave Crue songs? "Wild Side" and "Afraid." I also love Sixx: A.M.'s newest single, "This is Gonna Hurt."

Besides being a rock star, Nikki is also an author. He co-authored The Dirt with the four members of Motley Crue. It's shocking, entertaining, and interesting to see each band member's view of the same ole situations. Nikki also wrote The Heroin Diaries and most recently This is Gonna Hurt which also showcases his photography. Sixx:A.M. released a killer album of the same name to go along with the book. Nikki also has a clothing line with Kelly Gray called Royal Underground which I have a few cool items from. You can listen to his radio show, Sixx Sense, on select radio stations or online nightly. Yes, he is one busy man.

What is Nikki currently reading? Sixx tweeted yesterday that he is reading Guns 'n' Roses/Velvet Revolver bassist Duff McKagan's autobiography It's So Easy: And Other Lies. Nikki went on to say that the book is "Well written, honest and extremely interesting....Nice to read a book by an artist who doesn't slag his ex band too."

Nikki is very active on Twitter and Facebook, follow him!
Oh, and looky here! Here's me and Nikki before a Crue concert!

James Michael

James Michael is the melodic voice of the band Sixx: A.M. Sixx: A.M.'s hit song "Life is Beautiful" topped the rock charts in 2007. Their newest album released in May and has already produced hits like "Lies of the Beautiful People" and my favorite from the album, "This is Gonna Hurt." I was able to see them live on their only tour so far for Cruefest. I hope they tour again.

Besides fronting this killer rock band, Michael is also a producer and songwriter. He's worked with Papa Roach, Alanis Morissette, Motley Crue, Meat Loaf, and many more artists.

I recently asked James what he is reading. He replied, "Right now I'm reading Keith Richards Life." He continued, "For some reason I read WAY more books on my ipad than I ever did with the actual hard cover books."
