“I really like when they give me bigger scripts.”
“Honestly for me it was a real experience because I freaked out my first shooting because imagine I’m behind the camera now and I had no idea how hard it was,” Jia admits. “I mean I always respected the team but now I respect them twice more because I know how hard it is sometimes to work with some models.
“And now I even start to behave a bit better because I’m like damn, now I know how it feels.”
But as much as things have changed for Jia Lissa—whose performances and personality have propelled her to global stardom—one thing remains the same.
She cares.
“Since I started shooting I’ve been always very invested in the shooting,” Jia says. “I always care. I would always suggest, ‘Let’s do that, let’s try this one. Let’s try this position.’ And that’s how they noticed that I have this passion.
“And also since I started with OnlyFans I really enjoy organizing my shootings. I bring fashion photographers. I would do a mood board myself. I really enjoy creating something and my dream is to maybe one day make my own production.
“That’s why I’m studying now because porn industry really inspires me and I think porn is art for me. And I want to bring some of my fantasies into this world.”
The performer also known as lovingly as Jiayonce—due to her musical talents—arrived in 2023 with a following that exceeds 1.4 million on her main Instagram, 538,000 on her second page and almost half a million on Twitter.
She tells AVN the way her porn career has soared is “amazing” for her, but it also isn’t her sole focus.
“It’s not just about porn for me,” Jia explains. “I’m just an artist and I want to do whatever I want. I want to show that it’s possible for a porn star to do not just porn.”
A natural entertainer who plays the ukulele, the guitar, writes her own songs and sings, Lissa also loves to act and appreciates any time she has the opportunity to demonstrate her flair for drama.
“I actually enjoy longer scripts,” she reveals. “I like acting. I love porn, too. I really like when they give me bigger scripts.”
In addition to the various scenarios she’s brought to life for the luxury-focused VMG in her twentysomething scenes for the company, she has flourished on unconventional sites such as Romero’s sci-fi-meets-porn-driven projects—Hentaied and Parasited—and the equally mind- bending Futanari.
