AKA Sydni Ellis, Sydni, Sydney

Native New Yorker Nica Noelle got into porn relatively late compared to many, not getting her start as a performer and director until 2006. She's best known for directing female-focused porn for Sweetheart Video (lesbian themed) and Sweet Sinner (straight porn aimed at women), both of which she co-founded, but will occasionally appear as a performer. At first Nica only directed and performed in lesbian films. After performing in her first boy/girl scene with Manuel Ferrara in Angel, Nica discovered a new kind of energy that she could harness in her filmmaking and Sweet Sinner was born. All of Nica's films, whether lesbian or straight, are intensely focused on the woman's pleasure and a naturalistic style that eschews the seemingly arbitrary edits and changes of position that are so often used in porn. Nica also writes an online column about her porn career and related topics.
