Nicole Doshi

Nicole and I met at the festival in Las Vegas. It all happened really fast. She told me to come to her room, we filmed, we fucked, we had a great time, and we got along really well as people. We like a lot of the same things. We ended up becoming friends and making a ton of scenes together: threesomes with other girls, orgies, double penetration. We did everything. She's a sweetheart, and this little Asian girl is explosive.

Nicole Doshi was born in China and moved to the United States in 2014 to study business at college in Nebraska. After about a month she left for New York, settling first in Manhattan's Chinatown. She was scouted by Vixen Media Group in 2021, made her studio debut in September 2021 and moved to Los Angeles in April 2022 to perform full-time.

She has worked with studios such as Vixen, Blacked Raw, Brazzers, Reality Kings, Evil Angel and Jules Jordan. In 2023 she won the XBIZ Award for Best New Performer, the XRCO Award for Best New Starlet and an AVN Award for Best Group Sex Scene, and she was nominated for AVN Female Performer of the Year in 2024 and 2025.

Early life. Adult databases list Wuhan as Doshi's birthplace, but in interviews she says she grew up in the port city of Qingdao. She told XBIZ she was "just in school in China" when her parents sent her to the United States in 2013 to study business at a college in Nebraska. She cut class a lot as a teenager and spent her time in karaoke parlours. Her parents were strict and made her keep covered up. They expected her to come home with a good degree.

Nebraska lasted about a month. Doshi said that when she walked out of the airport there were "no cars, nobody". She took the money meant for her studies, bought a one-way ticket to New York and took a taxi straight to Manhattan's Chinatown. There she rented a room with a Chinese family. She told XBIZ that New York, where she "fell in love with the atmosphere and speed of the city", was where she discovered the power of her sexuality: "I definitely got the feeling that, 'Oh, okay, I'm in control.'"

Before porn. According to EMM Report and her appearance on the Plug Talk podcast, Doshi first worked giving massages at a Chinatown salon, where she was fired for doing "special favors" for clients. After a short, unsuccessful try at real estate, she worked as an escort for wealthy clients. She then began making her own explicit content online. One of her early accounts was banned over raffles to meet fans and public nudity.

Joining the industry. In 2021 Vixen Media Group scouted her through Twitter. "Someone from Vixen messaged me on Twitter and asked me if I wanted to shoot for their company... I wasn't in the porn industry at all at the time. So I was like, 'Yeah, why not?'" She moved to Los Angeles to work full-time in April 2022 and signed with Motley Models. She went on to shoot for Blacked, Tushy, Deeper, Slayed, TeamSkeet, Jules Jordan, Evil Angel and Brazzers.

Talking to Jay's Playhouse at the 2023 AVN show, she said she had worried that studios would want "prettier, sexier body girls". Instead she found that "you are really unique, your own self and people respect that." She keeps full ownership of her self-produced content.

Her AVN nominations include Best New Starlet (2023), Best Foursome/Orgy Sex Scene for High Gear, and several 2024 nominations for her Nicole Doshi Unleashed series. She now lives in Los Angeles.
