Domino Presley Celebrates 2 AVN Award Nominations

Adult film star Domino Presley receives 2 AVN Award nominations,  transcending genres with her nomination for “Mainstream Venture of the Year” for her appearance on trans pop star Alissah’s hit single, “Daddy (Thee Stallion Remix).” 

LOS ANGELES, CA - Domino Presley received two AVN Award nominations, including ‘Best One-on-One Trans Sex Scene’ and ‘Mainstream Venture of the Year’ for her appearance on trans singer Alissah’s remix of her hit single, “Daddy ft. Domino (Thee Stallion Remix).” 

“I'm thrilled to be nominated with Dante Colle for ‘Best One-on-One Trans Sex Scene,’ said Presley. “It was the first time I had taken dick or seen dick besides my own in over a year and I really think that showed. But the ‘Mainstream Venture of the Year’ nomination for my feature in Alissah's song ‘Daddy!’ This, I never saw coming. I wasn't even aware this was a category and I'm am so so so honored to be nominated for art I did outside of porn.”

Presley contributed lyrics and vocals to Atlanta-based trans recording artist Alissah’s remix of her hit track, “Daddy.” Alissah shared her song was inspired by an iconic scene from one of her favorite childhood movies, “Kindergarten Cop.”

Presley continued, “This song was written while I was in a horrible relationship, and the lyrics I wrote basically spoke my marriage into existence (if you listen to the song you might roll your eyes at that statement, but it's true). ‘Daddy’ is an anthem for girls who are tired of fuck boys and being the breadwinners in their relationships. 

“I honestly almost had Alissah take my part out or re-record it with her voice because as a Transgender Woman, one of my biggest insecurities is my voice, and there were a few people who cracked jokes about the song when we released it (it was just other trans girls, which sucks worse). But to see a nomination for this project that's outside of the adult industry...and that I literally wrote myself (just my part), pushed through, and did regardless of the haters and my insecurities, damn. I couldn't be more proud of a nomination. Music was my passion before I transitioned and I never thought I would get back into it so thank you for the nomination, AVN, but most importantly, thank You, Alissah, for believing in me, pushing me, and allowing me to be part of your art.”
