Jia Lissa, born Julia Chirkova on September 1, 1996, in Izhevsk, Russia, is an erotic photography model and an adult actress. She is 5'5" (165cm) tall, has recognizable red hair, green eyes, and a slender figure. The experience she accumulated throughout her career is quite extensive, as she explored various artistic approaches in both photo and video forms. Due to winning several awards, she is one of the most recognizable European performers as a proud natural redhead.
Jia left her hometown of Izhevsk when she was seventeen and relocated to Moscow to find a life-changing opportunity, and she first started doing so by waitressing at local restaurants. When she turned eighteen, she began performing as a cam model on MyFreeCams and LiveJasmin, where she quickly gained a lot of fans due to her on-camera personality. While camming, she gained a lot of confidence, which led her to transition into professional studio work, with her debut being in 2017 for Met-Art with a solo scene. This was then followed by many solo and girl-girl shoots, which was a smart way to build her brand before exploring more hardcore content.
In August 2018, Jia made history by becoming the first European performer to sign an exclusive contract with Greg Lansky's Vixen Media Group, which made her universally more popular. Her debut Vixen scene was filmed on the island of Mykonos, Greece, and by December of the same year, she also had her first interracial scene for Blacked.
Throughout her career, she won several awards, including XBIZ Europa Award for Best Female Performer of the Year in 2020, AVN Award for Best Foreign-Shot Group Sex Scene in 2020, AVN Award for Best International Anal Sex Scene in 2022, XBIZ Europa Award for Best Sex Scene Feature Film in 2022, and XBIZ Europa Award for Best Sex Scene Gonzo in 2023, while being nominated for many others.
In July 2022, she and her friend Liya Silver were appointed as official Vixen Angels, and in 2021, her Vixen feature was one of the most acclaimed adult productions of the year, which earned her two major awards.
Considering that Jia started her career as a webcam model, it should come as no surprise that she loves communicating with her fans. She is as much an artist as she is a performer, known for playing the ukulele, writing songs, and being quite a storyteller. In 2024, she even took a break from the industry to focus on music, but today she is back to making all kinds of content for her fans. Jia identifies as bisexual, speaks Russian and English, and is very active on her X (@Jia_Lissa) profile, where she has over 527,000 followers.
