New adult starlet Tia Tanaka took some time out recently out of her schedule to answer a few questions for me.Tell the audience about yourself. Where were you born and what is your ethnic background? Where do you call home?
I was born in Indonesia but my mother is of vietnamese and french descent and my father is vietnamese. My mother and I came to America when I was one year old. However, my father didn’t come with us for he was in the military and he also had another family that he never told my mother about. I guess he decided to live with this family and had left my mother while she was pregnant with me. So I grew up with a single mother and boy was it hard. My mother and I lived in New York and later moved to California. Years and years passed and she had 3 other children who are my beautiful siblings today! I call California home because I was here for most of my life. California Love Baby!!!
When, where, and how did you get your start in the industry? How long have you been in the industry?
In high school I would be the girl you’d least expect to be doing adult movies! I got into the business with intentions to just make some money but now I enjoy it.
What do you like best about your work and what is your favorite work both in film and in print?
I’ve shot for quite a few photographers already and I loved all of it. I love having my pictures taken so all my experiences were great.
What are some of your favorite things you like to do in front of the camera and in everyday life? I read that you like to read a lot. Why is that do you think and what else to Tia like to do when she has some time away from work?
When I’m not working I enjoy reading new books I find that fascinate me and I also enjoy playing with my two kittens Tia and Tai-Tai. I’m also a movie fanatic so when I have free time I rent movies or borrow some from my friends. I’m currently studying psychology so that is another one of my hobbies. The reason I like to read so much is because I like to pretend a lot. When I mean pretend I like to imagine that I’m not me and that I am someone else…living in another enviroment, dreamland, whatever. My spirit likes to leave her body and play somewhere else sometimes! I know it sounds really corny but that’s how it really is with me.
Back to work lol. Do you have any favorite actors and actress or directors you like to work with? Any photographers?
I’d like to work with anyone that has a good mind, amazing ideas, and good intentions.
Where would you like to see yourself in work and in life a few years from now?
In the future I’d like to see myself successful not just financially but emotionally.
Anyone you would like to thank or give a shoot out to? And any parting words for your fans?
I always receive very sweet e-mails from my fans and that’s what keeps me going I guess. When you have such a big group of people supporting you it’s a great feeling so I thank my fans before anything.
