“Bali is for my soul and Europe is for work mode.”
Italian stud Christian Clay, one of VMG’s most prolific performers who has more than 1200 credits overall since 2001, tells AVN that Jia is “one the best female performers I’ve met.”
“She loves sex and she loves what she does—we don’t have that much girls like her,” Clay says. “That’s why for her it was easy to get famous because from the first moment she knew what she want to be and I saw how focused she’s been on herself.
“We like to work together and I’m very happy how good she talk about me as well. I remember I was in contract, but she ask me to be her first anal scene and that make me so happy I fly to France just for her, so I hope she will remember that.
“I hope she will take from life what she wants because she deserve all the best. Congratulations Jia for all you’ve done—you’re one of my top 10 girls.”
Lissa grew up in the city of Izhevsk, the capital of Udmurtia, Russia, located along the Izh River in the western Ural Mountains. She moved to Moscow when she was almost 17, using the last 20 dollars she had on the car to get there.
Nowadays when asked where she lives, Lissa pauses for a beat.
“That’s a good question... I’m a gypsy style,” she says. “Basically, I’m based in Budapest, Europe, since I’ve been living there last couple years. But since I am a travel addict, I’m always on my bags.
“I haven’t been there for a couple months already because I’ve been traveling. I live partially Bali and Europe—because Bali is amazing. Like Bali is for my soul and Europe is for work mode.”
She is close with her mother and her sister, so much so that her mom asks about her scenes. “We talk every day,” Jia says.
Lissa remembers celebrating Christmas in Bali and when she received her visa.
“I literally cried. I was so happy because I got it to come to AVN,” says Jia, who attended her first AVN Adult Entertainment Expo in January, signing at the Vixen Media Group pop-up store at Pepper in Las Vegas.
“Because it was my dream for a long time. And I wanted to meet all the performers and the directors that I really appreciate and be part of the industry... And I flew over 30 hours to come the next day to AVN.
“I was so jet-lagged, but I couldn’t stop. I couldn’t even sleep, I was so excited. ... I enjoyed every second of it.”
