“They were a lot of fun actually,” Moore says. “When I was shooting stuff on OnlyFans
they were more like home films—just setting up a tripod. These felt more real. I liked
having other people help me and do my hair and makeup and making sure everything
looks great.”
She met Amira for the first time in person at the Digital Playground launch party for
Deadly Vows in October at the Formosa Cafe in Hollywood. “Me and her got along
great, she’s going to be fun to work with,” Moore says.
Amira reveals she consulted with AVN Hall of Famer and Brazzers perennial contract
stud, Keiran Lee, as she considered the move into porn. She credits him with discovering
her.
“He told me I can’t go back. It’s a big decision, but I knew in my heart of hearts it was
meant to be, so I decided to follow my heart,” says Amira, who shot her first scene for
Brazzers and had done about 15 at press time—most of which have yet to be released.
She knew of Mark Spiegler’s reputation as an elite agent long before signing with
him because of her familiarity with Asa Akira’s work.
“I was a huge Asa Akira fan, so I knew who Mark was. I read her books, and I listened
to her Pornhub podcasts, so I knew who he was,” Amira says.
She met him for the first time at the Pornhub Awards in early May but it wasn’t until
after shooting for Bellesa several weeks later that director Jacky St. James helped
connect her to Spiegler in a more formal way.
“Jacky asked me if I was with an agency and I told her that I’m not signing with
anybody unless it’s with Mark Spiegler,” Amira says.
So St. James put her in touch with Spiegler on the following day. About a week later,
Amira was sitting on his couch having a meeting about her future.
“I went to his house on June 24 and he started booking me on June 25,” she says.
“Before Spiegler, I had done three scenes.”
Amira says at first she only was supposed to be in L.A. for three months, so she
banked as much content as she could, but then things started happening.
“It feels surreal,” Ava admits. “I’m excited and lucky and I don’t take it for granted.
For that I have Keiran Lee to thank, he’s the best.”
Born in Baghdad, Iraq, and raised mostly in Canada, Amira also lived for a year in
Yemen and about two years in London, England. Then she moved to Halifax, Nova
Scotia for two years before settling in Toronto—where she stayed the longest. While
in college in Toronto, Ava studied sociology and thrived in the restaurant business.
“Once I graduated I kept working. I opened the first STK in Canada in 2016; I was
one of the original staff members. I learned fine dining and worked my way up in that
industry,” says Ava, who would eventually do bottle service for a span.
“It made me more social. I was super shy. It’s ironic that I’m naked on the internet
now.”
