So where did it all begin? Born in Munich, Germany, Briana Banks moved to the United Kingdom when she was four years old and her family relocated to the United States when she was seven. For the next nine years Briana Banks lived in the suburban Simi Valley in Los Angeles, California, with her mother and younger sister. When she was 16 years old Briana Banks moved with her 14 year old sister out of her mother’s home and Briana Banks gained full custody of her sister when she was 18. Talking about these early years within her April 2016 Adult DVD Talk interview, Briana Banks explained how;

“I moved from Munich with my mother and my younger sister when I was 7. My first language was German so it took a little adjusting to learn English but, luckily, when you’re young, you catch onto that stuff pretty quickly. I was very shy in junior high. I was skinny with braces and I got picked on a lot. In 10^th grade, after summer, I came back to high school, no braces, I had boobs, all the guys who used to pick on me were all hitting on me. I thought it was pretty funny. I was still pretty shy…

I actually moved out at 14 and emancipated myself at 16. My sister came with me but we had some legal issues with my mom. When I was 18, I went and got full custody of her so that she could legally live with me and there was no problems or drama. I pretty much took care of her for the last 15 years. We lived together forever and we just started not having a place together about a year ago. I’m getting used to living by myself. At first, I hated it but now it’s kind of awesome”.

You may be interested to learn that Briana Banks had previously modelled as a teenager and even appeared on the cover of Teen magazine. Reminiscing upon her fashion modelling career within her April 2016 Adult DVD Talk interview, Briana Banks conveyed how;

“Actually, my dream was to be a runway model and I started out on the cover of Teen Magazine. I used to go to all the big agencies. I’m only 5’9” and, back then, to be a runway model, you had to be 5’11”. So I tried everything, I would wear platforms, but they would just look at me. They didn’t even have to put me up against the wall to see how tall I was. It’s crazy because nowadays, a lot of these supermodels are short. That’s actually how I got my name Banks because of Tyra Banks”.

In addition to her early modelling career Briana Banks worked a series of retail and office jobs including working as a clerk at an arts and crafts store, as a server at a pizza parlour, as a secretary, file clerk and insurance editor. Unfulfilled in these odd-jobs, 21 year old Briana Banks quit her job as an insurance auditor and began to pursue a glamour modelling career after responding to an advert in her local newspaper. Briana Banks discussed this pivotal moment in her life during her April 2016 Adult DVD Talk interview, revealing that;

“I was getting money from the state when I got custody of my sister. It was like $400-500 a month. I was working part-time and going to school at the same time and when my sister turned 18, the checks stopped coming. I didn’t know what to do. I didn’t want to quit school because I wanted to graduate on time. I saw an ad in the paper, ‘Make $1000 a day!’ It just said nude modeling, it didn’t say porn. I answered the ad and showed up on set and it was a porn set. I drove away 3 times and then drove back. I had to do it because the rent was due and I didn’t have the money to pay the rent. I was living in a little studio with my sister, I had to do it. I just did it. It was so funny because during the whole scene, they kept asking, ‘Can you make some noise?’ I watched the scene and I have to laugh at myself because I looked like a deer in the headlights. They asked me to do reverse and I said ‘What’s reverse?’ I didn’t know any position names…

First of all, I had never had $1000 handed to me at once. I never saw that much money in my life. I figured I would do it a couple of more times and then get out. Of course, that doesn’t happen. Within a month or two, everyone I knew had found out. So I said ‘Screw it!’  I was going by the name Mirage for the first year and a half and then I decided that since everyone knew, I was just going to go for it. I went by my real name, which is Briana, and I got my breasts done so I would stop being put in little girl roles all of the time. Wikipedia says I did about 300 or 400 scenes but I did 800 scenes before I signed with Vivid. I was the only girl who signed with them who had done that many scenes”.

Briana Banks : Adult Film Career

Following several months of posing as a nude model for various XXX-rated magazines, Briana Banks decided to film her first ever sex scenes in 1999 with Brandon Iron that were featured in the Dane Entertainment porn production University Co-Eds 18 (1999). Briana Banks appeared in several early productions under the stage name ‘Mirage’ before making her official debut as ‘Briana’ in the Decadent Whores 9 (2000). Reflecting upon her early porn productions during her April 2016 Adult DVD Talk interview, Briana Banks highlighted how;

“Before I got into the industry, I was with one guy and we were dating for three years. I was very shy and timid in the bedroom. When I got into the industry, I think all my scenes came across so good because they were real. It was really my first time having people watch and having cameras around me and having the lights on. (laughs) I had never seen anything so big the first time I walked on set. I said, ‘I don’t know if that’ll fit inside me!’ ‘They come in different sizes?’ I didn’t even know! I was really that shy when it came to anything sexual”.

A landmark moment in Briana’s adult film career came in 2001 when she signed as an exclusive contract star with the prominent production company Vivid. During this time Briana Banks was also featured on the cover of the June 2001 issue of Penthouse magazine. Briana Banks loved working as a Vivid contract girl and enthused in her April 2016 Adult DVD Talk interview how;

“I started in ’99 and signed with them in 2001. I remember that I signed with them the same month I came out on the cover of Penthouse and AVN. June, 2001 was a really exciting month for me!…The industry is totally different. I’m learning as I go. Being a Vivid Girl was awesome, I only had to shoot 9 movies a year. I got paid very well to do so. Then I would just go feature dance the rest of the time. It was a lot of fun and I really miss the artsy 8-day shoots and flying to different countries. I flew to Budapest to shoot Briana Loves Rocco; I got to travel all over the world shooting stuff for Vivid. You don’t do that anymore in this era of porn”.

Briana Banks : Adult Film Industry Hiatus & Comeback Career

Over the years Briana Banks has taken hiatuses from performing in porn. Most notably, Briana Banks took a five year hiatus from the adult film industry in 2010. Fortunately, Briana Banks announced that she would be making a comeback in December 2015. Talking about her reasons for resuming her adult film career within her April 2016 Adult DVD Talk interview, Briana Banks explained how;

“I dropped out 5 years ago. I wasn’t feeling it anymore and I met a guy, that’s usually the way it goes. He talked me into getting out. I put on a lot of weight to be honest because I was very unhappy. After I finally decided that this wasn’t a healthy relationship, I walked away from him and decided I was going to get my life back in order. I wanted to get back into the industry so I worked my ass off for 7 months straight, 3 hours a day at the gym and I lost 45 pounds. I’m happier than I have been in years. I’m healthy and I’m so glad that my fans have been so amazing with this comeback. I’ve had so much support, I didn’t think that after 5 years that so many fans would have that much interest in me…

I would love to work with Jessica Jaymes, Kendra Lust and Johnny Sins, that’s just off the top of my head. There are just so many beautiful women in the industry now, I’m just getting familiar with the male talent. The scenes I’ve shot already are mostly with the people I’ve shot with before. I’m trying to find out who the good male talent is now….God, what haven’t I done? (laughs) I’ve never really done any hardcore Femdom so I think that would be really fun. That’s one thing I can definitely say I have not done”.

Briana Banks marked her triumphant return to the adult film industry by shooting a sizzling scene with Manuel Ferrara that was featured in MimeFreak’s ArchAngel Productions DVD True MILF 3 (2016) also starring Kendra Lust, Katie Morgan and Alexa Tomas. Briana Banks loved collaborating with MimeFreak on True MILF 3 and eagerly expressed in her April 2016 Adult DVD Talk interview that;

“It was great. It was for Arch Angel and Mimefreak directed it. I was extremely nervous; you’d think I had never done a scene before. Manuel is such a great performer and has a great personality. Mimefreak was very cool and once the cameras started rolling and I got back into Banks mode, the scene was amazing and I forgot the camera was even there. It went so well that it reassured me that I made the right decision in coming back. It was, ‘OK, I still like doing this, this is still fun for me.’”.
