Fresh Faces: Brianna Arson |
A version of this feature appears in the February issue of AVN magazine. Click here for the digital edition. LOS ANGELESâBrianna Arson intends to live up to her catchy stage name. âIâm here to set things on fire,â says the surging new Canadian performer, who is burning her way through Porn Valley in her first round of sex scenes. Arson took on three-time AVN Male Performer of the Year Mick Blue on January 29, giving as good as she got in her debut for Brazzers. âWe did some positions I never showcased yet,â Arson says. âI also have a pretty good grasp on acting. I grew up with a theater background. Iâve been a performer my whole life.â It shows. Arson started her OnlyFans on April 4 of last yearâthe move was a long time coming and she knew would be good at it, too. By June she was researching ways to break into mainstream porn. But when a recruiter from Foxxx Modeling contacted her through SexyJobs, she at first was skeptical. A few months later, in September, a Foxxx rep reached out againâand this time Arson looked closer, consulting with a couple of the agencyâs current models such as Emily Jade. âShe told me if I wanted to get into mainstream that I should definitely consider Chris [Cane] at Foxxx. She said, âHeâs incredible with his Canadian girls,ââ Brianna says. Flash forward to January and the confident spinnerâwho is half Jewish and half Vietnameseâalready had shot 42 scenes, only a handful of which have been released. One of those scenes was for Bryan Gozzlingâs Hookup Hotshot, opposite Nade Nasty. âThey told me it was one of the nastiest scenes they had seen within the past five years,â Brianna says. âI donât know how true that is but I can say that every single bodily fluid was involved and I will say it got nasty. I got way too into it.â Clearly, Arson made an impression that day, so much so that Gozzling invited her to join his parade of starlets that signed at the stylish Hookup Hotshot booth at the AVN Adult Entertainment Expo in Las Vegas. âI had the best time ever there,â Brianna says. âIt was my first AVN and I had no idea what to expect. But we had all our wardrobe and hair and makeup done every day, so I felt really cute. âBryan has a great eye for style. I didnât expect to have so many fans come up and meet me, too. People see that I love what I do and that made me feel really special. I was taking all the pictures and showing off my flexibility and getting my name out there more.â A admitted porn fan, Arson didnât realize how large the industry actually is. âI really had no idea before,â she says. âI didnât know the industry was so vast and I didnât realize there were so many conventions or awards show. Like holy moly.â The 22-year-old got an eye opener when she attended the 41st annual AVN Awards Show. âIt was awesome,â Arson continues. âIt was so fucking surreal. I have never seen anything quite as immaculate as the AVN Awards.â âI loved seeing all the people on the red carpet and their outfits. The Trophy Girls were super hot, the comedy was hilarious between awards. It was just a new experience to see sex workers praised.â Foxxx Modeling owner Chris Cane tells AVN Arson is âa dynamo.ââI think sheâs doing incredible,â Cane says. âSheâs off to a great start. Sheâs vivacious, ambitious and has a very outgoing personality. She just loves the business and loves the work she does.â Chris says that his recruiter Bella Roxxx initially brought Brianna to his attention. âWe even spoke on the phone but at that point she was just kind of dipping her toes into the industry and feeling everybody out. She was definitely not someone who wanted to make a quick decision,â he explains. âI didnât hear from her for three or four months and then Bella contacted her again and we reconnected.â âThis time she was more serious about getting into the business. That was probably around the end of October and she has already made her presence felt. Hookup Hotshot was so impressed they wanted her to sign in January at AVN. Jules Jordan has shot her several times already. Everybody who has shot her absolutely loves her.â Arson reveals her first-ever scene was for ATK Girlfriends with Kim Nielsen. âIt felt really natural to me,â she recalls. âPorn has always been a calling. I didnât have too many issues.â An English major in college with minors in psych and history, the well-spoken Arson says sheâs in the middle of writing her autobiography. Brianna tells AVN her mom was a stripper and escort. âIâve always been a sexual deviant from hell,â she says. âI started watching porn way too young and got really curious about it. By my teens I was already a slut. I went to summer camp and had all my first-time experiences there.â The native of Waterloo, Ontarioâthe city where the Blackberry phone was inventedâworked at a thrift store and as a coat check girl at a nightclub before porn. Her credits so far also include Kink, Bang!, SexLikeReal, WanksVR and FTV Girls. Arson grew up on a farm on the outskirts of the city. âSo I saw the city and rural life,â says Arson, who used to ride horses. She says that her well-rounded background made her âmore easygoing and very nonjudgmental.â âIâm always willing to learn and experience and understand,â Brianna adds. âI have a hunger for knowledge and I love getting to know about other peopleâs lives.â The rising starletâwho is one of five siblingsâalso has overcome some hardships. She tells AVN in June 2022, when she was 20 going on 21, that she got kicked her out of her house because her parents found out the guy she was dating wasnât Jewish. âWith nothing but the clothing on my back and not a dollar to my name,â she says. âI was homeless, so I crashed at my buddyâs house while he was at summer camp.â She worked 60 hours a week at two jobs, while also going to school. âI was overworking myself. There were even times where I barely had enough to pay for my schooling and my rent. ... Iâm way tougher because of all it. In a weird way I canât thank my parents enough," Brianna says. Recently, Arson reconnected with some of her older siblings. âMy older sisters support me in everything I do,â she says. âIâm not depressed any more. Iâm not a sad little girl. Iâm living my truth. Iâm happy. Iâm carrying myself differently. Iâm more enthusiastic and more authentically me.â
