Tia Cyrus
She stands barely five feet, all slender lines and dark hair—Tia Cyrus, born October 30, 1990, in Hayward. Puerto Rican mother, Dominican father, fourteen states behind her by the time she turned fifteen. That was the year she first felt a man inside her. Kansas City came next: sales counters, then the animal hospital, where she learned to steady trembling paws. Nights ended at a downtown club, where she learned to move. In 2009 the city changed to Los Angeles. For a while she fetched coffee and ran errands for established names, learning the rhythm of the rooms she would soon enter. By 2010 the camera found her. New Sensations, Kick Ass, Lethal Hardcore, Evil Angel, Bang, Pure Play—she moved through their sets with quiet command. A small tattoo sits on her right hip; a silver ring glints at her navel when the light hits it just right.
