“I really like that nothing’s been far out of field when it comes to my portfolio.”
The 2024 AVN Awards were a good night for Emma Rose. After her wins for Best Trans Group Sex Scene and Trans Performer of the Year in 2023, she was nominated in five categories for 2024: for her acting in Pride & Orifice; for One-on-One, Group, and Virtual Reality — Trans sex scenes; and a repeat nomination for Trans Performer of the Year. By night’s end, she had won Virtual Reality for her scene with Dante Colle and repeated her triumph as Trans Performer of the Year.
“It felt absolutely amazing,” Rose told AVN. “The whole year of 2023, I’ve just been working, but also trying to diversify. In 2022, I was just working a lot of scenes. And then last year I was doing podcasts, traveling, I was doing events. It was an entire, like, plethora of things. It’s just crazy how the momentum has just gathered for this year.”
Rose started her performing career in 2020.
“I had two scenes before COVID hit. I was still living in Florida and I was dancing. I already graduated college and I just knew that I couldn’t dance any more. I told all my friends I’m moving to Vegas because, like, I want to start porn and take it seriously. I moved here in June, and they weren’t shooting in June. Porn started back up, I think, in July and it was such a slow build. I didn’t know anybody when I moved here. I didn’t even really know the directors, I just shot with them. The whole end of the year of 2020 and the start of 2021 was really, really difficult.”
Things changed when Rose joined TransAngels as a contract performer in February 2021: “I think that really helped my career take off. It was a three-month contract that kept on renewing, and after nine months we parted ways. And then after that it was just like one thing after the other.
“After TransAngels, I started doing some top scenes and working with Adult Time. I didn’t start working with women until my debut scene with Brazzers with Angela White. That was the tipping point. I started working with a lot of women and a lot of directors started shooting me as a top, bottom for boy-girl scenes, for girl-girl scenes, it really just showed that I was very versatile.”
“I felt an immediate connection with Emma when we first shot together for Brazzers,” White told AVN. “She is an amazing performer who gives her all to her scene partner. She is a consummate professional: intelligent, disciplined, caring, and passionate. She deserves all the accolades she has received for her hard work over the past couple of years. I was so happy to see her win Trans Performer of the Year for a second time.”
Rose’s next champion was director Ricky Greenwood, who shot her with Victoria Voxxx for a scene that was released by Dorcel as Emma4You and compiled in Stars Vol. 10. It also was nominated for Best Trans One-on-One Sex Scene for the 2024 AVN Awards.
