Chanel Preston grew up in Alaska with a love of performing. Whether it was reciting lines of William Shakespeare in the community theater or awing her family with piano recitals of Sergei Rachmaninoff's concertos, Chanel fed off the energy of the crowd. Dancing, painting and playing the trumpet were additional ways she experienced the performance high. Now she captures the same feeling starring in adult movies. For Chanel boredom equals death, so she quickly developed a "try anything once" motto. This daring attitude led her to join the wrestling team in high school, despite the coach's resentment about having a girl on the team. Raised with the concept of gender equality, Chanel got her first taste of discrimination on the gym mats. The further she was pushed to fail, the more she determined to succeed--an attribute still strong within her. Chanel is sure all those hours grappling with the guys will prove helpful as she takes her moves to the bedroom. Staying fit for the cameras, she maintains her lean body with countless hours in the gym. Endurance is a must for her marathon sex sessions. Impulsiveness runs through Chanel's veins and guides the majority of her actions, from men to moving to Hawaii to occasionally jumping out of airplanes. The self-proclaimed exhibitionist's decision to enter the adult entertainment world was, however, carefully thought out Within seconds of performing her first striptease on stage, Chanel knew she made the right decision. She is capable of doing anything, but she chose adult entertainment. Forcing people to re-evaluate their impressions of the industry and the people in it is one of the many rewards Chanel discovered--in addition to all the hot sex. Chanel Preston began performing in movies in 2010, working for such top production studios, Hustler Video, Vivid Video and Wicked Pictures. Critics were immediately impressed with her. XCritic.com reviewer Dr. Jay states, "Chanel is becoming the de facto standard for 'porn superstar' because she has (and does) it all." In his review of Rezervoir Doggs (2011), AVN's Peter Warren says Chanel gives a "breakout performance," adding she "truly transcends what any adult actress should really ever be expected to be capable of." In only her first year, Chanel positioned herself as one of the most visible new adult film stars in the industry, demonstrated by Best New Starlet awards from XBIZ, XRCO, NightMoves, XCritic.com, The Galaxy Awards and CAVR.com. She has appeared on the covers of such magazines as Cheri, High Society, Fox and Hot Video and was picked for the prestigious position of Trophy Girl for the 2010 XRCO and F.A.M.E. award shows and the 2011 AVN Awards. NightMoves recognized Chanel's phenomenal sophomore year by naming her Female Performer of the Year, followed by CNBC listing her as part of its 2012 "Dirty Dozen." Chanel was named Penthouse Pet of the Month in the March 2012 issue. In addition to a regular blog for XCritic.com, Chanel became the first guest blogger for AdultDVDEmpire.com. In 2013 she was #1 on CNBC's "Dirty Dozen" and co-host of the AVN Awards Red Carpet. She is the host and face of the new cable entertainment program "Inside Adult" from the X3Sixty Network. With increasing exposure, Chanel is becoming one of the most in-demand sex symbols in the world.
