She began playing the guitar at age 11; just five years later, she joined the Kim Fowley-produced Runaways, an all-female project designed to mix the aggression of simple, punky hard rock with teenage bad-girl sex appeal.
When the band dissolved, Ford took voice lessons and embarked on a solo career, supporting herself through a variety of jobs gas station attendant, perfume salesperson, fitness instructor, hairdresser, etc. She released her debut album, Out for Blood, in ; it was followed the next year by Dancin' on the Edge. By the time Ford returned, the lighter pop-metal she had long favored had broken through to mainstream audiences, which set the stage for her most successful album, 's Lita.
Ford celebrated her newfound success with a marriage to W. Follow-up efforts like 's Stiletto and 's Dangerous Curves failed to match the popcraft of Lita, and Ford found herself without a label after alternative's explosion in the early '90s.
She married Jim Gillette, former vocalist with hair metal kings Nitro, had two children and moved to the Caribbean. She eventually re-emerged on the scene in the 21st century with the uncharacteristically heavy Wicked Wonderland in In the years that followed Ford went through a particularly messy divorce with Gillette, and resurfaced in with eighth solo album Living Like a Runaway, a cathartic break up album with themes of divorce, betrayal and estrangement throughout.
The album was co-produced by Gary Hoey and represented a return to the more tuneful pop metal Ford had enjoyed the most success with in the early 90's. In , Ford published an eagerly anticipated tell-all autobiography entitled Living Like a Runaway in February, and released the album Time Capsule in April.
