HERE’S AN INTERESTING STORY ABOUT HOW THIS SCENE CAME ABOUT AND ABOUT MY EXPERIENCE WORKING WITH STUDIOS: I know that I (sadly) can't share my most recent studio release with Shadow & Phoenix Fellington on this platform BUT if you are able to watch it online it's definitely worth seeing! THESE GUYS ARE BOTH SO 🥵🔥

I'll start by saying that working with studios can be a very interesting experience, and just like in any work environment, you can have wonderful days and you can have terrible days.

My first studio experiences were in July/August of last year, and it was all very positive. Shortly after I wrapped up my scenes in San Diego I travelled to LA and started filming my first ever collabs (you might remember a particularly iconic poolside DP scene with Rhyheim Shabazz and Elijah Zayne 👀).

We decided to release that scene about one week later once I was back in Australia and it really put me on the map and things started to heat up for me. LIFE WAS GREAT!

The studios, however, thought it was not so great and they proceeded to tell me that by releasing not only a DP scene, but an 'interracial' DP scene (their words not mine - you guys know that race is not something I ever focus on in my content), that I had essentially 'damaged' the longevity of my career before it even started. They explained to me that there is a clear progression that porn actors must follow to ensure the longevity of their careers, and I had basically jumped 10 steps ahead. They told me that they would no longer have any way to 'market' me, and that I was essentially useless to them now.

At the time, I remember feeling a lot of frustration because I did not share any of these opinions, and in fact I had a thorough business plan/strategy that involved me getting my name and face out into the big, wide world of gay porn as fast as humanly possible. And that is exactly what I achieved. Studio exposure was just one part of that plan but it revolved primarily around my own ability to build my brand and networks within the industry myself.

Fast forward a couple of weeks and that poolside DP scene had gone viral. My X exploded. My OF exploded. I was being contacted by some of the biggest names in the industry for collaborations. That same scene received a nomination for the 'best all-male collab' of the year at the 2024 GayVNS, AND WE EVEN WON! 🏆

Now, back to this latest studio scene with Phoenix & Shadow...

About 1 month later (and much to my surprise) the studios reached out to me and said that they would like to book me for some more scenes in September. Now, I am not one to ever want to burn bridges and instead was seeking to mend what I hoped could still be a valuable relationship to maintain, and so I accepted their offer. I had to laugh when I learned that I would be filming not one, not two, but THREE DP scenes, one of which was an 'interracial DP' scene (with Phoenix and Shadow). The very thing that I had been warned would completely derail the longevity of my career in this industry just one month earlier! As you'll all see when/if you do watch this latest studio scene, there really shouldn't be any hard or fast rules around these things - because if there were then we certainly wouldn't have ended up with this great scene that the 3 of us created together!

Overall, I couldn't be more happy or proud that I followed my gut and did things exactly the way that I planned them. You guys have followed along on this journey with me since I started this page, and I intend to keep that momentum going and to keep working really hard to bring you all the very best content out there!

I think there is definitely space for studio work in my career ahead - in fact I was recently flown to Montréal where I filmed 2 studio scenes that couldn't have been more enjoyable! But at the same time, I do also think that I will be focussing solely on my own content for the foreseeable future. Content that I can arrange myself, and plan, and schedule, and direct, and control, and own. And most importantly, content that I can share with you guys! Sharing my work and continuously connecting with you all is the number one priority for me in running this page.

So, thanks for sticking around throughout this journey. Thanks for believing in me. And most importantly THANKS FOR SUPPORTING ME! You all mean a lot to me 🫶🏻 x
