Alex Baresi to Headline JOY CD Launch Event

MELBOURNE, AUSTRALIA - Titan Men exclusive and winner of the 2007 TOMI Award for International Gay Porn Star of the Year Alex Baresi will appear during the launch party for JOY 94.9's "Classics" CD. The party will be at the Xchange Hotel on Thursday, Feb. 21.

"TitanMen.com.au is honored to be a part of JOY's ‘Classics' launch," said Dean Beck, marketing coordinator for Titan Men. "JOY 94.9 continues to play such an important roll in Melbourne's [gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgendered] community, and we hope that Alex's involvement at the launch will ensure huge sales of the CD, enabling JOY to continue their tremendous work."

While in Melbourne, Baresi also will sign DVDs for fans at Dungeon Warehouse and Sircuit Bar. Both appearances will occur on Friday, Feb. 22. At noon on Saturday, Feb. 23, Baresi will be a guest on JOY 94.9's travel program, "Detours," before attending the Pimps and Porn Stars party at Melbourne's Docklands that night.

Baresi, 28, is a resident of Genoa, Italy. At 6 feet, 3 inches tall and 242 pounds, his stunning looks and masculine European features ensured his rise to stardom, although that wasn't a career he initially considered. The international economics graduate of the University of Genoa at first declined offers to appear in adult movies, mostly because he is a firm believer in safer sex and refused to perform bareback.

Baresi appeared in a couple of movies for some condoms-only studios beginning in 2005, eventually grabbing the attention of Titan Media president and chief executive officer Bruce Cam. In July 2006 Titan Men signed him to a six-month exclusive multi-picture contract that has been renewed twice since. Titan titles featuring Baresi include Spy Quest 3, Folsom Leather, FEAR, Folsom Filth, Breathless and the soon-to-be-released Men's Room III.

When not traveling the world to promote the Titan brand, Baresi continues developing and growing his online store specializing in latex and leather fetish wear.
