“I feel really, really good about the
porn work that I’ve done this year.”
By his own admission, 2018 wasn’t the best year for Adam Ramzi. Thankfully, things quickly turned
around for the award-wining performer.
“If I’m going to be honest, 2018 was actually a really, really difficult year for me. In so many ways. And it
wrapped up in a way where everything just kind of went a total 180. I ended up becoming more involved
in music again,” he says. “And then 2019 was amazing, one of my best years ever, just personally and
professionally. Things have just been really good, and I’ve been inspired to make 2020 sort of next level.”
At the end of last year, Ramzi finished up a tour with singer Ioanna Gika (“I’m her kind of multi-
instrumentalist”), who opened for Chelsea Wolfe on a five-week tour across the continent. And he also
returned to mainstream TV, appearing in the Netflix series Eastsiders.
“They actually asked me years ago to be in their second season when it was still just a web series, and
so I appear in the second season for literally about a minute … then they reached out to me (in 2018) and
were like, ‘So, we’re gonna film a final fourth season and we’re bringing your character back for like four
episodes. Are you interested in reprising the role?’ And I was like, ‘…of course.’”
And oh yeah, he’s still (thank God!) doing porn.
“I feel really, really good about the porn work that I’ve done this year. Because again, in a weird way, the
past year and a half or so, I would say 95 percent of the porn work that I have done has had some kind
of creative element to it. So being able to work with Chi Chi LaRue and mr. Pam and Steve Cruz—and
then in January I’ll be working with Davey Wavey again—it feels amazing that these directors feel that
they can trust me to not only turn in a good porn performance, but also to show up emotionally for some
of these things.”
Including playing a priest. Again. “Not only the second time as a priest, but the second time as a priest
sharing a scene with Calvin Banks!” he laughs of his role in NakedSword’s Scared Stiff 2, which followed
his appearance in CockyBoys’ award-winning All Saints. “I have no idea what it is about me that says
‘priest.’ There’s a dad element to all of it, I think, so it’s kind of funny.”
