Melissa Stratton

I met Melissa through my friend Thomas and his partner, Tru Kait. They introduced her to me, and obviously, as you can see, it ended up happening. She's a stunning woman.

Melissa Stratton is an American performer and model who grew up as an Air Force kid, living in Texas, Alaska and Utah, and went to high school and college in Utah. She trained in ballet from childhood, and as an adult she danced with a professional company and trained in Paris and Prague. Before adult work she also ran a graphic design business.

She started camming on Chaturbate in 2021, was scouted by Brazzers at the X3 Expo in Los Angeles, and shot her first studio scene in March 2022. Since then she has worked with studios such as Brazzers, Reality Kings, Evil Angel, Naughty America, Wicked, Adult Time and Dorcel. She was nominated for AVN Best New Starlet in 2023, was Playboy's All Star of the Month in July 2024, launched an AI companion, Melissa AI, in 2023, and hosted the 2026 XMZ Awards.

Background. Stratton told XBIZ in 2023 that she had a "very conservative" Mormon upbringing. As an Air Force kid she moved around a lot, but she spent her formative years in Salt Lake City. "There is a lot of pressure, particularly for women," she said, though she credits that culture with teaching her self-reliance, down to "having a 72-hour supply of food and water at all times". She left the church as a teenager, and her parents responded, "Yeah, we get it." She has said she never saw herself as sexual growing up and that porn has been "incredibly healing" in taking back power over her sexuality.

Discovery. She first cammed without showing her face, as "Kitty Baby Camgirl", and six months in she shut down her graphic design business to cam full-time. In January 2022, at the first X3 Expo at the Hollywood Palladium, a MindGeek producer walked up to her booth and said, "You're gorgeous — if you ever want to do a scene, let me know." After about 30 stunned seconds, she said, "I literally ran back over to him." She shot three scenes for them back to back. She remembers locking eyes with Kira Noir that weekend and thinking, "I want to be just like her." She was in her early 30s when she entered the industry.

Melissa AI. In May 2023 she launched the beta of Melissa AI, an adult "AI companion" that texts and sends voice notes in a synthesized version of her voice. She built it for busy fans who mainly want someone to talk to. "I needed something that was leading instead of following," she said. "I definitely run my brand like a business." She has since talked about her first-scene disasters and her ballet training on Holly Randall's Unfiltered podcast, and about her favourite scene partners on The Brazzers Podcast in 2024.
