3rdEyeGirl consists of guitarist Donna Grantis (of Toronto, Ontario), bassist Ida Nielsen (Denmark), and drummer Hannah "Ford" Welton (Louisville, Kentucky), as well as Prince, who assembled the hard-rocking, occasionally funky, always melodic band in 2013.

When they met up with Prince, all three musicians had significant experience behind them that collectively entailed independent solo releases, as well as touring and recording collaborations with the likes of Zap Mama, Shakura S'aida, and Prince's New Power Generation.
