"I'm so honored to be inducted into the Urban X Awards Hall of Fame with so many other notable performers," offered Kristina Rose. "I'd like to thank Urban X Awards as well as thank all of the performers, directors and companies that have allowed me the opportunity to perform in such a vast array of ethnic titles with so many legendary performers over the years."

Commented Mime Freak, “I always tell people I never found the adult industry, the adult industry found me. With being in the industry I wanted to contribute something my peers and fans would be proud of. I wouldn’t be where I am if it weren’t for those who molded me. Shout out to Chris Streams, Pat Myne, Mr. Pete, Mick Blue, Jay Sin, LosDee, Wendy and Jim Crawford and most importantly Gabe G. I’m highly honored, thankful and appreciative that Urban X has inducted me into the Hall of Fame.” 

"This is an incredible honor! Thank You!" said Joanna Angel. "It's truly special to be inducted with two of my very long time peers—Isiah Maxwell and Jon Jon. Both of them have worked for me, and with me, on countless amounts of times over the years, performing in movies that were major milestones in my career." 

“I feel blessed and honored that I was considered for this year’s Hall of Fame class," said Isiah Maxwell. "Completely unexpected and something I’m proud to add to my growing resume. They were the first company to give me a performer of the year award and now the Hall of Fame induction, I truly appreciate it all.” 

“I’m beyond honored. I am humbled to be recognized for such a notable award and especially to be recognized amongst my peers,” said Lotus Lain.

“Thank you Urban X Awards for inducting me into the Hall of Fame," said Luna Star. "I am so excited, it is a great honor.”
