“I’m really proud of the woman she’s become...” —Seth Gamble
Seth continues, “I’m really proud of the woman she’s become and from a performing perspective she has every single attribute. ... The sky is the limit.”
Gamble, who started his porn career at 18 as a BangBros contract guy and now is a multiple AVN Award-winner and lead director for Wicked Pictures, says he and his wife push each other to be better.
“I definitely push the shit out of her, I don’t make it easy on her, I don’t,” Seth tells AVN. “And I expect as much out of her as I do out of myself. And if you’ve seen what I expect out of myself, most people would want to injure themselves.
“As time has progressed, too, she really has become a big support to me. She loves me to death and I love her to death. I would definitely not be here without her by my side.”
Taylor doesn’t mind talking about that dark period and how she emerged from it.
“I’m very open and honest and willing to share my truth even if at times it might seem like a little bit much,” she says. “Even if I can help just one person that means the world to me.
“... I’m always willing to do whatever. One of the things that’s helped keep me sober is getting out of myself and constantly doing whatever I can to help others.”
Taylor worked with three different agencies before landing with Spiegler Girls earlier this year— which was where she aspired to be all along.
“My entire career I wanted to be with Spiegler,” she says. “He’s the best, hands down.”
She cried into Gamble’s arms when the veteran agent agreed to represent her.
“Everybody really likes her,” Spiegler, who has represented eight of the past 10 winners of
AVN Female Performer of the Year, tells AVN. “She’s super professional, she takes instruction well, shows up on time and does a great scene... and nobody has had a bad thing to say about her yet.”
Spiegler’s right-hand man of 19 years, George Jiries, agrees.
“Kenzie’s been nothing but an absolute pleasure to work with,” Jiries tells AVN. “She is basically the complete package wrapped in one—brains, beauty and professionalism.
“We’re really happy to be working with her and hopefully we’ll take this to the next level with her... She’s got it.”
Speaking of defining moments, Taylor points to her turn as Captain Marvel in retired Hall of Fame director Axel Braun’s parody for Wicked Comix as the biggest game-changer of her career thus far.
Taylor won the 2020 AVN Award for Best Transgender One-on-One Sex Scene for her performance with Aubrey Kate in the 2020 AVN Best Parody.
Braun says Taylor’s “charisma, intensity and absolute understanding of the character” were what clinched the role for her.
“It was on a whole other level from anybody else,” Axel tells AVN. “You could sense that she knew all along she had this incredible talent and was just waiting for the right moment to show the world. That was the moment.”
