Sixx A.M.
Band Los Angeles United States Formed 2007
Sixx A.M. formed in 2007 in Los Angeles, United States. Sixx A.M. has 13 chart appearances on 12 radio countdowns from 7 stations on RockLists, spanning 2007–2020. The most successful song on radio countdowns is “Life is Beautiful”, which appears on 4 lists with a best position of #7.

Sixx:A.M. started in Los Angeles in 2007 as a side project for Nikki Sixx, then still holding down the bass in Motley Crue, and the name spells out the whole team: Sixx, guitarist DJ Ashba and singer James Michael. This band went for widescreen hard rock with a big, glossy sound.
The Heroin Diaries Soundtrack, their 2007 debut on Eleven Seven Music, is dark and theatrical, full of churning guitars and huge, anthemic choruses, and "Life is Beautiful" became the song they'd be known for, a dramatic rocker that climbs from murk into a triumphant, fist-in-the-air release. "Lies of the Beautiful People" is the other one fans reach for.
They made five studio albums in all, including This Is Gonna Hurt in 2011 and Modern Vintage in 2014, whose "Stars" swaps some of the darkness for a soaring, arena-sized uplift, before closing out with the twin releases Prayers for the Damned and Prayers for the Blessed in 2016.
