The performer was born on Aug. 2, 1957, in North Carolina. He was raised in Virginia, but he began his music career in Denver, where he joined the punk band Zebra 123.

Once the punk band separated, he traveled to San Diego and joined Dick Montana’s band, the Snuggle Bunnies. Richard Banke, also known as Skid Roper, joined the band. The group went on to win the best new band in San Diego during the Battle of the Bands. They also scored a three-hour recording session at Soundtrax Studio in San Diego.

Shortly after, Nixon and Roper earned a contract with Enigma Records, which assisted them in releasing their 1985 debut album Mojo Nixon & Skid Roper. Two years later, Nixon released Bo-Day-Shus!!!, which began with his hit “Elvis Is Everywhere.”

Two years after the success of “Elvis Is Everywhere,” Nixon entered the acting business. He portrayed James Van Eaton in the 1989 Jerry Lee Lewis biopic Great Balls of Fire. His credits also included Super Mario Bros from 1993 and Car 54, Where Are You? the following year.

之后,他开始在俄亥俄州辛辛那提和圣地亚哥主持电台节目。早些时候,他在SiriusXM公司找到了一份工作,主持“非法国家:不会被封锁的音乐”节目。
His Outlaw Country co-worker, Elizabeth Cook, also shared the news of his death on Facebook. “I’m sad to share that Mojo Nixon, my partner in crime on SiriusXM outlaw, passed away today aboard The Outlaw Country Cruise. He was a total maniac, a complete pain in my ass, and he will be missed.”
