“Really the sky’s the limit here because
anything I dream up I can create.”
She adds, “I think that really helped in allowing me to feel like I could do this for a living,
when I began to embrace myself and my body and my flaws—and be raw and honest about
who I am.”
Kim built the foundation for the look she achieves with her extensive photography
background—she had an affinity for shooting landscapes while in school—bridging her
exquisite photo aesthetic with her live streams to create breathtaking imagery.
“And actually that bridge happened because at some point I just started using my DSLR for
streaming and I realized that regardless what people say about porn or art—or how they try
to make a distinction between the two—I always found there is no distinction,” Kim reasons.
“I feel like a lot of art comes from erotica and I feel like work can be both erotic and artistic
if that is the purpose of the work, if that is the purpose of the person creating it. To create art
that is also sexually stimulating.
“I don’t think the two things are exclusive.”
Kim performed before a room full of people for the first time in Hollywood, Calif., in 2014
after someone discovered one of her videos online. By February 2017, she had brought her
Lyra act to Wonderfruit, an annual arts, music and lifestyle festival held at The Fields at Siam
Country Club in Chonburi province in Pattaya, Thailand.
In March 2018, Kim headlined Eloha Yonim - Goddess of the Doves, a theatrical performance
ritual at a private loft in New York, where Kim thrilled attendees with soaring aerial acrobatics
and her sensational erotic rocking chair act.
She brought her talents to AVN Stars in February 2020, doing her first live stream in March
en route to becoming one of the platform’s top models in her first year.
“It’s an honor for me to be a part of AVN Stars,” Kim says. “I’ve loved every moment of it.
“I feel really fortunate that I had the confidence to just take that plunge and believe in myself.
And I’m really glad I found a space that I feel free to express myself, but also feel like I can
really see myself grow as a performer and flourish.”
Kim launched the first version of JoeyKim.tv in 2013. Since then she has guided the site
through several facelifts as she works to stay on the cutting edge of live streaming technology
and maximize her users’ experience.
“Even with how difficult it is to build and run my own site, I’m really enjoying the freedom
it gives me,” Kim says. “Really the sky’s the limit here because anything I dream up I can
create.”
