Ida, who was born in Aarhus, a small town in Denmark, started singing in the school choir before discovering the bass at the age of 16. She spent most of the 90s at the Royal Danish Conservatory of Music and played in numerous bands during and after her studies. She toured Europe with the Belgian pop group Michael Learns To Rock and was later hired as the touring bassist for the Belgian-African band Zap Mama, founded by Zairean Marie Daulne. In 2008, she released her debut album as bandleader, Marmalade, under the name Bassida. It showcased her funky signature, which was later recognized on her second solo album, Sometimes a Girl Needs Some Sugar Too (2011), as well as on TurnItUp (2016), Time 2 Stop Worrying (2019) and 02022020 (2020).

In 2014, Nielsen played with Prince, guitarist Donna Grantis and drummer Hannah Welton on 3rd Eye Girl's album PlectrumElectrum. Her last performance with Prince was at an exclusive, celebrity New Year's Eve party hosted by Russian oligarch Roman Abramovich on January 1, 2016 in St. Barts. As she told MusicRadar: "I know there are a lot of Prince fans out there who want to support me. I really appreciate that, and I also appreciate that they still love the funk." And on Ida's new album, More Sauce, Please!, there's plenty of funk for the fans!
