You've said that being part of the Grabby Awards is all about celebrating and being celebrated - how did you discover and start to explore that performing on camera and content creation was something that you're passionate about?
I've always had a creative part in me that I've expressed in different activities to compensate for my really squared and logical studies and job.
My dream job would have been to work in the movie industry as a video editor but that didn't happen at the time, and I ended up in computers and coding.
To express myself in an artistic way, I became a dancer - I'm still competing internationally. That really gave me the love of being seen on a stage or a dance-floor, doing and sharing what I like the most.
As long as I can remember I've always been curious and interested in sex. I discovered porn at a young age, with the will to experiment and experience as much as possible.
The day after I turned 18, I went to a gay sauna and that confirmed to me that sex and the fun you can have with it would become a hobby or a passion - something like others would go to the cinema.
I'm travelling a lot for dance and that allowed me to discover a lot of places such as saunas, sex-clubs, cruising bars, and cruising areas all around the world - I really enjoy it.
A few years ago, I met a content creator on Grindr who asked me if I would be down to film our nice moment together. That was a perfect occasion to combine everything - filming, video editing, wild sex - of course, I said yes but that was supposed to be a one time thing.
In the following months, I had two other requests so I started to think about it and I decided to go to the Grabby Awards in 2024 - I discovered a completely new universe. I met amazing people and decided I wanted to go further in that industry, but still as a side activity.
The reason I said that the Grabbys are a celebration is because in one place, you have a lot of different profiles - all there to meet, make connections, party and celebrate the adult industry we all love.
Do you consider yourself an exhibitionist?
Based on my different artistic activities, there is of course an element of exhibitionism - I love to be seen but only by people with the desire to watch.
If the place is made for that - like saunas or sex-clubs - or known to be a cruising area or a gay beach, then I'm down to have fun publicly but I would never deliberately take the risk of flashing non-consenting people.
What was your relationship with your body like when you were growing up?
I was an overweight teenager so I was not comfortable with my body until my growth spurt. Then, I had the opposite problem - I felt like I was too skinny.
With dance, I started to work with my body and accept it more and more - even if it didn't change but my look on it changed.
Backstage or in the locker-rooms for the competitions, my relationship with nudity hit me quite hard because you don't have that much time to change - most people there just undress and put on their new outfit. You quickly you get used to it.
When everyone is acting the same, it's easier to adopt that behaviour.
It's the same on a nude beach - if you are the only one wearing clothes then you are the weird one.
How has your work in the adult entertainment industry changed your relationship with your body and the way that you experience intimacy?
I don't think anything has changed. Sex for fun and sex in a romantic relationship are two different things. In a romantic relationship, you connect on many other levels. When sex is for sex, you are looking for amusement and pleasure - potentially with many partners, potentially in a kinky way.
Beyond the Grabby Awards, what else is on your vision-board for the months ahead?
I'm regularly in Gran Canaria - this year, I will be over there in May for Pride, again in October for Maspalomas Fetish Pride, and again in November for WinterPride.
For the first time this year I will try to be in Berlin in September for Folsom Europe.
Because of my dance competitions, I will travel around Europe and be in big cities for long weekends but I'm also open to being contacted on my socials to organise nice weekends to make some collabs and discover new places. Don't hesitate if you are interested!
Voting for the Grabby Awards is now open.
