**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**
