ABOUT KELLY COLLINS:
All-natural Russian beauty Kelly Collins was a student on academic leave from her university in the summer of 2019, and searching for a job. As it happened, some new friends were working in webcamming, and upon their recommendation, Collins “went straight away to find a local studio.”
After dipping a toe into performing by posting a handful of clips online with her face hidden, Collins decided that she wanted to shoot for “professional studios and, hopefully, big productions.”
Unfortunately the COVID pandemic interceded, but once restrictions eased, Collins wrote to producer/director Julia Grandi. The ambitious young blonde’s dreams came true early in 2022 when Grandi replied that she wanted Collins to sign on as an exclusive contract star for global entertainment brand, Vixen Media Group — the company she had most wanted to work with.
Collins made her Vixen debut in “New Obsession,” and has since shot scenes for studio brands Blacked, Blacked Raw, Tushy, Tushy Raw and Slayed, including a star turn as the lead in VMG;s multi-platform feature, :”In Vogue”.
In 2023, VMG announced they had extended the rising star’s contract for an additional year.
Collins, was named Miss Fleshbot International in August 2023, earned a nomination for Best New International Starlet in the 2023 AVN Awards, and took home the coveted Best New Performer trophy in the 2023 XBIZ Europa Awards.
She was since nominated for International Female Performer of the Year in the 2024 AVN Awards and Favorite Female Porn Star in AVN’s Fan Voting, and is currently nominated for two 2024 XRCO Awards.
