She is the current touring guitarist for Alice Cooper and has a successful career as a solo artist. Strauss was the first female signature artist with Ibanez guitars and is regularly featured on the covers of worldwide print magazines including Guitar World and Guitar Player. She was ranked No. 1 on Guitar World's list of "10 Female Guitar Players You Should Know".
Strauss started touring with her own band Lia-Fail as a teenager, leaving high school in her junior year to pursue music full time; the band included future world champion boxer Mikaela Mayer. Although initially known for her work with Iron Maiden all-female tribute band The Iron Maidens, Strauss' career has included performing with several rock ensembles including Consume the Fire, Femme Fatale, and the video-game supergroup Critical Hit.
In 2014, Strauss was the official in-house guitarist for the Los Angeles Kiss (LA KISS), the arena football team owned by Paul Stanley and Gene Simmons of KISS. The house band played the national anthem and provided additional music during the games.
In June 2014, Strauss was hired to replace Orianthi as Alice Cooper's touring guitarist for the remaining 2014 tour dates. She has toured with Alice Cooper since that time.
In April 2018, Strauss launched a Kickstarter campaign for her debut solo record 'Controlled Chaos'.
In October 2021 she shared "'Dead Inside", her first new solo music since the release of her debut album.
Nita will release her sophomore solo album, ""'The Call Of The Void", on July 7, 2023.
Nita Strauss has recruited a vocalist named Kasey Karlsen to join her onstage during the guitarist's upcoming "Summer Storm" tour.

So far this one is one of my top favorites from the album. I love how Nita just starts it off kicking ass & raising hell 😁🤘🔥. This one definitely gets me hype. The only small criticism I have is that I wish it was longer! lol. But I guess the repeat button is good too but ya know. I still love it

Hello Nita,
I've been a hugh Metallica fan for years one of your questions was to play for them, I'd say keep asking and you're wish will come true, James Hetfield is a down to earth musician along with the rest of the band! Hope it comes true your music kicks ASS! You (remind me of Lita Ford)
Good luck
By the way your Gorgeous! Lol =)
