Going Big: Stefany Kyler on Creating, Performing & What's Next

LOS ANGELES—Stefany Kyler refers to an original quote when considering how far she’s come. “From a white crow turned into an angel,” Kyler tells AVN. The rising star from Russia tells AVN she was bullied in grade school because of her appearance and “I was a very notorious child.” “The adult industry dispelled all stereotypes about this,” Stefany says. “Now I am a self-sufficient, self-confident girl who loves and accepts myself for who I am.” Whether she’s shooting, writing, cheerleading or cooking, she maintains a positive attitude and sense of humor. “I love this life and all it’s positive or negative sides,” she says. “At the moment, I can firmly say that I am happy to be who I am now. “There are wonderful people around me—my fans. I love everyone very much. They give me an incentive to grow, develop and move on.” Indeed, Kyler explains there are countless reasons for her optimism. For starters, the 21-year-old performer is close to finishing her undergraduate degree at a Russian university, where she is studying television producing and directing. She’s also applying for her visa to Europe with plans to spend her entire summer traveling. “And I also plan to get a visa to America, this is my big dream!” Kyler adds. In the past two-plus years since her adult industry debut, Stefany has demonstrated that she knows what she wants and is determined to achieve it. With more than 120 credits since 2020, Kyler has emerged as a go-to girl for Vixen Media Group in Europe while also delivering multiple performances for Private, Wow Network, Nubiles, VirtualTaboo, MetArt, 21sextury, SexLikeReal, Badoink, TeenMegaWorld, PornBox, Life Selector, True Amateurs and Reality Kings, among others. “I love every scene, whether I like myself there or not, this is an experience,” Stefany reasons. “I can’t single out one thing. Each new scene is a separate adventure into the world of emotions. Each scene leaves wonderful memories in my mind and in my photo gallery. When I review a photo or video, I start to cry about how wonderful it was and how I want to return to the past and live it again.” She credits Julia Grandi’s JulModels with lifting her career to another level after she began working for the VMG suite of sites in 2021. To date, she has appeared on Tushy a whopping five times and both Vixen and Blacked three times; TushyRaw twice; BlackedRaw and Slayed.“I was invited by JulModels and I flew to Europe to shoot Vixen, Tushy and so on. It was my debut in beautiful and professional films,” Stefany explains. “Then I was given five or six shoots in a row at once. Then they immediately began to invite me to all possible productions. There were a lot of scenes, I lost count…” Her first scene for Vixen—titled “First Call”—paired her with 2022 AVN International Male Performer of the Year Alberto Blanco. Stefany remembers that day well. “Large film crew, script with text, beautiful locations and me. God, it was a fairy tale,” she recalls. “I was such a shy and unable-to-do-anything girl, it’s already a shame to remember, hahaha. “The camera started and I forgot all the words. I didn’t know what to say, as if I hadn’t learned English for 12 years of my life. “But then everything went as it should, and I remember this experience with a smile— emotions cannot be conveyed. And when we filmed everything, they started clapping for our couple and I remember how I shed a tear that all this was with me in reality. It was wonderful. I remember every moment with trepidation.” Kyler admits she was a casual consumer of adult material before she started doing porn herself. “We all watch adult films and of course, I was not exclusively,” she says. “At that time, I had my idols. I followed them on Instagram and more and more often I began to come across recommendations from other models and the JulModels agency flickered. “I sent them my application and they immediately accepted me into their headquarters. Julia Grandi contacted me and invited me to work with her, so I stayed with her team and agency for three years already.” Stefany enjoys the “experiments and freedom” that adult performing provides her. “And learning new techniques and so on. I like emotions, whatever they are. It’s a recharge for the body,” she continues. “I also like traveling, new treats, outfits, make-up, shoes, production wardrobes—this is a separate paradise for girls!” Through those experiences, Kyler also has learned a lot about herself. “I learned that I am a very strong girl who can cope with all events and problems, that I can be such a versatile person that I could not even imagine in ordinary life,” Stefany tells AVN. “That I have many talents that are revealed in the circle of certain people.” Before adult, Kyler says she worked in television and wrote scripts for her own non-adult films. “I like the genre of comedy, fantasy and adventure,” she says. “I also like a mixture of drama and action.” Stefany reveals she has a black belt in the Japanese martial art of aikido with 10 years of experience. Now she owns a cheerleading squad that supports the Moscow-based hockey team CSKA. “Initially, I danced by myself in a cheerleading group, and when it broke up, I decided to become a coach and create my own cheerleading group,” Stefany says. “I did a casting, created sketches for costumes, sewed them, and so my cheerleading group was born.” But her favorite hobby of all is cooking. “And try different cuisines of the world,” she says. “Russian, Italian, Japanese, Mexican and so on. I constantly like to experiment, read the recipe, and then add something of my own. My signature dish is lasagna and borscht, which is traditional Russian soup.” In the future, Kyler wants to create her own line of underwear as well as her own merch such as sweatshirts, t-shirts and caps. She also is thinking about creating a line of cosmetics designed for adult performers. "For the time being, I have to graduate from the institute,” Kyler says. “I’m getting a visa in order to go back to work in the summer. So far I am in a break from filming. I am engaged in social networks. There are no plans to quit the adult industry yet. I want to continue filming, receive awards and please the fans. I also want to launch my own production, but these are just thoughts. Maybe someday I will come to this. “But I'm already working on the line of my collection of clothes and other intense things. If I do something, I do it on a grand scale and with great imagination. I have a lot of ideas in my head. I come up with something new faster than I live. “So wait until Stefany creates a miracle in the world.”
