Biography of Aria Giovanni

Aria Giovanni videos

Born in L.A. on 3 November 1977, Aria Giovanni was christened Cindy Renee Volk. Her French, German, Yugoslavian and Italian background provided her with an exotic beauty which, despite her claims to have been an unattractive child, has caught the eye of every major porn movie professional she has come into contact with since she entered the industry in 1999.

Aria was the middle of three children, and claims to have been a shy 'tomboy' as a child, with more interest in National Geographic and climbing trees than making friends and meeting boys. She moved to Orange County to attend high school, and excelled at her studies. So much so that she graduated high school at sixteen years old and went straight on to college. After spending some time living in New York city, Aria moved to San Diego to major in bio-chemistry at USCD. Here, she married her boyfriend of five years – and divorced him five weeks later.

While completing her studies, Aria worked in a variety of low-paid night jobs; until she was offered a teacher's aide position in the biology department of the university. This position offered better money, but entailed much greater responsibility, and Aria began looking for a lucrative and less stressful position.

In 1999, aged twenty-two, Aria began answering modelling ads in the paper, and spent the following six months shooting scenes and pictorials for amateur porn sites, such as Busty Amateurs and Bubble Girls. When fellow porn actress, Aimee Sweet, introduced Aria to renowned glamour photographer Suze Randall in 2000, Aria's career took a turn for the better.

The story now goes that the Penthouse office was so overwhelmed by Aria's pictures that a Harley Davidson which was on its way to a photoshoot with the team's choice of September Penthouse Pet was turned around mid-journey, and sent to Aria instead. Her pictures appeared in the September issue and she was awarded the coveted title of ‘Penthouse Pet of the Month’.

Aria went on to further acclaim, with roles in 'Survivors Exposed' (a parody of the reality television programme) and 'Shipmates'. She also combined appearances in fetish, glamour and artistic films and pictorials with some 'straight' modelling, including a (clothed) shoot for Bomis. Aria's dark, exotic beauty and non-cosmetically-enhanced 34D figure perfectly suit a niche in the porn industry that has hitherto gone unfilled.
Aria has worked extensively with respected hardcore film makers, but has limited her own work to softcore productions featuring 'implied' lesbian contact – with the exception of one film owned by Bubble Girls, which features solo hardcore action. In total, Aria has appeared in almost twenty films, twelve television programmes and documentaries, and she produced her first movie in 2004. Her print work portfolio includes major pictorials in High Society, Gallery, Cheri; and covers of Bizarre, Hustler, Penthouse, and many more. She was also selected to appear on the cover of the hardback book, 'Mystical Sirens'.
