Russia: Sasha Grey puts retired hands to good use

  • 11 years ago
Former adult entertainment actress Sasha Grey took to the decks in a nightclub in Vladivostok on Wednesday night as a DJ. Leaving porn behind, Grey is focussed on expanding her repertoire. Denying claims she is considering taking up Russian citizenship, Grey insists her visit is to promote her music.

Grey has a burgeoning music career, frequently spinning records in the USA and Canada. Not happy simply behind the decks, Grey is an artist in her own right, as well as working with the rap star Eminem for his music video 'Space Bound' in 2011. There are also rumours that she contributed to Narnack Records reggae album 'Repentance', although Lee Scratch Perry - the album's artist - said in an interview in 2009 that Grey was not responsible for the vocal.

Sasha Grey entered the adult entertainment industry shortly after turning 18. She quickly became a star and has received numerous awards and a lot of publicity for her work. Her move into music intersected with her film work, starting in 2008 when she started aTelecine with Pablo St. Francis before later adding Anthony D'Juan to the collective. Their work is within the vein of industrial music, an avant-garde fusion of rock and electronica. Grey also shares her own music on file sharing site Soundcloud - she calls her work "ambient death-dub" and "dark ambient."
