Ida Nielsen, hailing from Denmark, is a musician renowned for her virtuosic bass playing, her funky grooves, and her soulful compositions. She first captured the attention of the international music community as a member of the New Power Generation and 3rdeyegirl, bands that famously backed the legendary artist Prince. Nielsen's association with Prince, which began in 2010 and continued until his passing in 2016, greatly elevated her profile and allowed her to hone her skills alongside one of music’s most iconic and demanding artists.

Following her time with Prince, Ida Nielsen has continued to build her solo career, releasing a slew of funk-driven tracks that showcase not only her bass-playing prowess but also her talents as a singer and songwriter. With a discography that includes catchy and groove-laden tracks like "More Sauce, Please!" and "Funk in the Xmas Trunk," Nielsen has carved out a space for her brand of funky, soul-infused music. Her playful track titles, such as "Accidental (Xmas) Balls" and "Hey Sailor," reflect the sense of fun and irreverence she brings to her music, while "Glorious Disco" pays homage to the roots of funk’s disco cousin. Ida Nielsen remains a figure of inspiration and admiration among bass players, funk aficionados, and music fans who appreciate the blend of technical skill and groove in their tunes.
