LAS VEGAS—Versatile performer Nikki Phoenix continues her campaign to blend success in the mainstream and adult with two major milestones this week.
On the mainstream side, her song "Your Smile" has been a No. 1 trending EDM song on Soundcloud, with 1.5 million plays. In her adult career, the ink has just dried on a distribution deal with Juicy Entertainment for her own DVD line.
Phoenix and her duo partner JackEL enjoyed their first No. 1 single as the newly released song "Your Smile" received almost 1.5 million plays on Soundcloud. It continues to grow in popularity as radio stations in Canada, Europe and now the United States begin heavy rotation of the single.
"We have been overwhelmed with the amount of support the song has gotten, not just from friends and industry supporters, but also EDM fans and DJs," said Phoenix, "We knew we had a catchy song, but when the song began heavy rotation on radio stations, we knew we had something very special on our hands. As more and more radio stations picked up the single, we saw a dramatic increase in Soundcloud plays, and we were so humbled and flattered when the song trended as #1 in the EDM category last week on Soundcloud."
The song is one of many in the pipeline from the two EDM artists, with the upcoming release of "Two Hearts" (a collaboration with three-time Grammy-winning artist Skip Martin) and "Until" both scheduled for release during the month of June. Their songs available for purchase across all digital media platforms thanks to the distribution deal signed by parent record label Sights & Sounds.

As for that distro deal, it's a pretty big thing. Phoenix has signed an agreement with Juicy Entertainment, joining the growing ranks of female owner/producers in the adult market space. Phoenix said the distribution deal was the next logical step in her career, allowing her to release product that reflected her creative vision as well as her strong belief in female empowerment, while giving viewers great sex and genuine orgasms at the same time.
"We could not wait to ink this deal with Nikki," said Jerry E., owner of Juicy Entertainment. "We feel very fortunate to represent Nikki and her brand and to have secured this deal. She had a number of offers on the table."
He added, "In the end we felt we had the best organization to represent her and her unique brand, which capitalizes on not just her adult fans but also her huge mainstream and music fan base, which is something no other woman with a distribution deal has been able to tap into. The fact that she has been able to springboard into a leading position in the EDM music community, with a No. 1 hit single that is receiving airplay in the U.S., internationally really, shows everyone the size of the fan base that her movies will be able to tap into. When was the last time you were able to see your favorite musical artist perform in an adult movie? That kind of thing just doesn't happen everyday, and it's especially important because of her pro woman and pro sex stance and we are very excited to see these things reflected in her movies she will be releasing through us."

Continuing her passion for being a humanitarian, Phoenix just completed the Badass Dash for Charity with her Extreme Circus Bootcamp team. The team—consisting of team captain David Issac, nine men and three women—completed the 7 kilometer and 48 obstacle course in 78 minutes with the proceeds going to the charity AUTISM SPEAKS. Extreme Circus Bootcamp features old world circus apparatus combined in new ways with Chinese acrobatics, gymnastics, aerobics, overall strength training, and circuit training—an approach that allowed the team to do extremely well over a diverse and phyiscal course like the Badass Dash.

Phoenix has also been busy feature dancing, having just performed in Buffalo, N.Y., two weeks ago. She is headed to Exxotica Chicago June 12-14 to meet with fans and supporters before featuring at Deja Vu Showgirls in Springfield on June 18-20.
