In 1983, Ford launched her career as a solo artist with her début album "Out For Blood", establishing her as a premier female performer in rock and heavy metal. She followed up in 1984 with the release of Dancin ’on the Edge, which earned her a Grammy nomination in the Best Female Rock Vocal Performance category.
2018 Celebrated the 30th anniversary of the 1988 self-titled multi-platinum Lita album, which boasted four charting hit singles, “Back to the Cave”, “Falling In and Out of Love” (co-written with Motley Crue’s Nikki Sixx) along with the world wide mega hits “Kiss me Deadly”, nominated for the MTV Video Music Awards ‘Best Female Video of The Year’ and the certified Gold ballad single “Close my Eyes Forever” featuring Ozzy Osbourne, which remained in the Billboard Top 10 for 25 weeks.
The Lita album solidified Ford as one of the most influential female performers in the music industry and earned her the title “Queen of Metal”. Following Lita, Ford released three more studio albums: Stiletto, Dangerous Curves, and Black. These albums produced the radio and video hits “Hungry”, “Playin ’with Fire” and “Shot of Poison”, again nominating her for a Grammy.
