Stoya is a pornstar who is originally from Wilmington, North Carolina who is of mixed ethnic background. Her start in the adult industry came in 2007 when she performed some non-sex roles in films like "Man's Ruin" and "Debbie Loves Dallas" from Vivid Video's alternative studio. Eventually signing a contract with Digital Playground for some hardcore performances, one of her first was "Jacks POV 9" and she appeared with male costar Tommy Gunn. While she's teasing him she's rubbing her clit and then she takes his dick into her mouth. They screw in a few positions before she uses her feet to stroke out a cumshot from him.

The film "Video Nasty 3 - Stoya" contains Stoya's first hardcore sex scene with a man and was released in 2008. She actually performs in three different scenes in the film. Scene one features her in a lesbian threesome, and scene three has her first fuck scene with Charles Dera having the pleasure of penetrating her pussy. This film’s sixth and final scene is also a hardcore fuck scene and she takes a cumshot on her ass at the very end of the film.

During an interview that Stoya did early on in her career, she explained how she loves to move around from city to city. Saying that it's like having an extended vacation it's just part of her personality to not want to settle down, at least at that point in her life. Regarding her profession and personal life, her immediate family knows and is accepting of her chosen career path.

Stoya has been nominated for several awards during her career so far, including several for Best New Starlet from multiple organizations. Her fans really love her fetish work that crosses over to general hardcore too. She's a genuine alternative fetish lover and enjoys sex that is out of the mainstream at least by a little bit and sometimes a lot. She is still active in the industry and her fans should expect some more additions to her filmography to come out at regular intervals.
