“I wanted the best of the best, and I got the best of the best.”
Armani Black entered the adult industry last year with a caveat. Everything, she vowed to herself, would be done first class.
That probably explains why she pursued iconic agent Mark Spiegler as her representation.
“He’s the godfather of porn, the Ari Gold of the adult industry,” Black says. “I wanted the best of the best, and I got the best of the best.”
Black is making Spiegler look good for his decision to sign her.
Less than a year into her rookie campaign, Black has already shot for elite studios such as Brazzers, Jules Jordan and Cherry Pimps. The 31-year-old brunette has 34 scenes listed in the Internet Adult Film Database (IAFD), and she estimates she’s filmed at least 40 more that have yet to be released.
“I love working hard; I love the grind,” says Black, who lives in Florida. “This is my life now. It’s who I am.”
Black’s most memorable moments thus far include squirting for the first time during a romp with Zac Wild—“It was like opening Narnia,” she says—a lesson in deep-throating from Mick Blue and her first on-screen anal with Danny Steele.
“I took it like a champ,” Black says.
Born and raised in New York, Black studied nursing and business in college while working as a Hooters girl to help cover tuition and pay rent. She moved to Florida in her 20s and began dabbling in the swinger lifestyle with her boyfriend. The couple became friends with longtime male talent Tony Rubino, who convinced Black to try her hand at porn.
“It’s humbled me,” Black says of her newfound fame. “I’m embracing it. For me it’s all about taking ownership of what you want to do. Life is too short to not do what makes you happy.”
