“I really love passion...”
Sophie Sparks started live camming because she recognized
the potential to make some quick cash. She didn’t think it would
turn into a profession.
“And I tried it and I was like, ‘I’ll do it until I don’t need to,’”
Sparks recalls. “But I had so much fun. I just fell in love with it.
I was like, ‘This is what I’m supposed to be doing.’”
She tried MyFreeCams and Chaturbate before finding her
groove with Germany-based MyDirtyHobby, where she has
been for more than a year. Recently, she also joined Jasmin.
“Maybe I didn’t go in with the most inspiring reasons but I
loved it,” Sparks continues. “I had a blast. I made friends. I still
talk to them.
“I felt confident, which was never really how I felt. I was always
very, very shy. But I’ve gotten so much better at being able to
talk to people one-on-one or even in groups.”
The 21-year-old performer says her transition to doing girl/
girl porn a couple years ago was similar.
“I kind of got curious,” Sparks says.
Now she tells AVN the friendships she’s formed through porn
“are better friends than the people I grew up with.”
Her decision to take the next step in her career paid off in
more ways than one as she won her first AVN Award in January
less than two dozen movies into her adult performing career.
Sparks tasted AVN gold for her electric outing in Bacchanalia,
which received the Best Foreign-Shot All-Girl Sex Scene honor
at the 37th annual AVN Awards Show. She triumphed along
with her co-stars Amirah Adara, Anna de Ville, Tiffany Tatum
and Misha Cross, who also produced and directed the title for
Evil Angel Films.
“Wow, I was so taken aback by that,” Sparks says. “I never
expected that at all. And when I saw that I was like jumping up
and down. I was so excited. I had a little dance party for myself.”
An American who has been living abroad for almost three
years, Sparks says it was JulModels owner Julia Grandi
who referred her to Lucky Red, a cinematographer based in
Madrid, Spain, who collaborates closely with Misha Cross and
recommended her for the Bacchanalia scene.
“I was super excited because a lot of my scenes are on the
softer side, which I like, but this one was a little more passionate.
I really love passion. That’s like my big thing,” she says.
