“She is very generous, very human and she is
an amazing performer. Her charisma when
she is on set, I think there is nobody else in the
industry like her.”
—Vince Karter
“Cherry is the first one who push me to move to Budapest,” Karter, who also won the AVN
International Male Performer of the Year award in January 2024, tells me. “She trust me and
believe in me and push me to where I am now. If I am here, it’s because of her—that’s one of
the main points I want to make.
“She is very generous, very human and she is an amazing performer. Her charisma when she
is on set, I think there is nobody else in the industry like her. She is super magnetic. Everybody
will remember her and everyone will enjoy the time they will have with her.
“It is very rare to have this type of magnetic person with huge charisma. I know people will
always like to be around her. She have this magic touch about the human part.”
Karter, who also claimed trophies for Best Tag-Team Sex Scene and Best Gangbang Scene
in January, says he “very proud” of Kiss, too.
“She start to direct and she is serious and she show me the new Cherry Kiss will be something
else, not just the performer,” Vince continues. “To move to America is not easy. It’s a big
challenge for all of us and she establish herself very well.”
Italian star Christian Clay, who is the reigning AVN International Male Performer of the Year,
participated in the first DP scene of Kiss’s career over a decade ago in Europe.
“We know each other from the very beginning of her career,” Clay tells AVN. “She was beautiful
and super shy… She isn’t like that anymore—I mean shy—but she still is so beautiful. She is
for me one of the top 10 hardcore female performers.
“She is super crazy, but we love her also for that. She is very nice and real. I want to
congratulate to her about the cover of [AVN] magazine. It’s truly inspiring to see all that she’s
accomplished in her career, and I couldn’t be happier for her.”
Clay continues, “Our friendship over the years has always been so special to me, and seeing
her achieve this milestone in her professional life makes it even more meaningful. Her dedication,
passion and hard work has truly paid off, and she deserves all the success coming her way. And
her career isn’t over yet so go hard, go ahead and never give up my friend, always dream big.”
Mark Schechter, the AVN Hall of Fame agent who owns ATMLA, tells AVN that he was
introduced to Kiss about three years ago by Hall of Fame producer/performer Porno Dan Leal,
who resides in Budapest.
“I recall Dan telling me how Cherry performs at a very high level and would be a huge success
here in LA,” Schechter says. “I would have to say, Dan’s description was an overwhelming
understatement. Cherry began her USA porn journey running full speed in January 2023 and
never looked back. Cherry quickly made a name for herself as a super high-energy performer
with a firecracker personality.
“Cherry has also accomplished becoming a director for several studios. She maintains a
tremendous work ethic, along with a sense of humor, compassion and integrity. I am proud
and grateful to have Cherry a part of the ATMLA family.”
