[edit] Traveling after college
After finishing college in 2000, Champ left home in Buenos Aires to travel the world.
He moved north to Miami living on South Beach while working as a personal trainer. While living in Miami, several porn companies contacted him to work in porn. While tempted by the money, Champ had mixed feelings from his religious upbringing that caused him to reject every proposal.
After living in Miami for two years, Champ moved to New York City. Working as a flight attendant, Champ worked routes between Puerto Rico, New York City and South America.
[edit] Dancing
After growing tired of a flight attendant lifestyle, Champ started dancing at the Gaiety Theatre near Time Square. As a dancer Champ was showered with attention and affection from patrons, complamenting him on his looks. While working at the theatre, Champ recieved and rejected more propositions to work in the skin trade, including a proposal from COLT Studio in 2005.
After the closure of Gaiety Champ moved cross country to San Francisco to work at Nob Hill Theatre, a place he claims to be the cradle of his career in erotica. There in Baghdad-by-the-Bay He met most of the porn industry honchos. But COLT was still a distant thought in his consciousness.
When He was living in San Francisco He liked to visit Union Square, and He enjoyed long walks to Golden Gate Park. Also Adam liked very much strolling in the Castro Area, but the boy wasn't very familiar with the club scene. Champ was like a kid looking in on a candy store, but not really knowing how to get in.
He is a huge fan of the Folsom Street Fair, and of the GAYVN Awards, so He has never missed one when he was living in San Francisco.
When Adam was dancing in New York he met Mexican television producers who invited him to work with them. The idea of appearing in Latin television seduced him from the first moment. So Adam didn't sweat it and gladly moved to Mexico City. There everything was great. Mexico City is the largest city in the world, with the largest gay community on the planet. He loves Mexico, and Mr Champ considers the ancient Aztec capital his second home. The warm and generous people, the colorful places, the floating gardens of Xochimilco, the dazzling flowers, the scent and flavors of chiles rellenos, the warmth of steam rising from piles of fresh handmade corn tortillas became an intrinsic part of him.
As he was preparing for his television debut he learned that he had to blunt his sharp gaucho accent. Nowadays you cannot identify his accent. He still remembers going to language school to learn how to speak Spanish without a tell-tale South American accent.
[edit] Acting
He was doing live appearances at clubs in Mexico City and many TV commercials, and he was the poster boy for one of the most important discos in the City. People there loved him, and still love him. It was was the key of his success in that country. To become one with the people.
When he started working in a very popular soap opera he received the third proposal from COLT Studio. While on the telenovela Adam had so much fun, and had the opportunity to meet many Mexican celebrities. He always appeared almost naked.
He appeared in three chapters of Barreras de Amor, which was filmed in Aguas Calientes with Aaron Diaz and Liliana Abud. He was also on some other TV programs: The Sabrina Show with Sabrina Sabrok, La Guia TV with Alejandra Bogue and Show de Margara Francisca with Lalo España.
[edit] Porn career
After some disagreements regarding his contract, he decided to depart Mexico and accept the longstanding COLT Studio proposal. It was then that he moved to San Francisco where his new, more sexual life blossomed.
He confesses he was not as interested in sex as much as the public might think. He was a very quiet and reserved person. Almost monk-like! But enjoyed a lot of adult erotica.
His first shootings were awesome. John Rutherford himself asked him more than once if he had not done porn before, because he was so natural onscreen. Of course, the reason fell right into it was his pairing with the incredible Luke Garrett. Their personal chemistry made him oblivious to the cameras and the crew around them.
[edit] Relationship
But he admitts the one who captivated his undivided attention was sexy Italian Carlo Masi. He was single for five years, and the thought of a serious relationship was the last thing on his mind. But Carlo seduced him mind, body and soul; so they quickly decided to become boyfriends. Wonderful things began to unfold for them, as well as complications. They were living in San Francisco almost a full year, but later we decided to move Carlos's home city: Rome.
At first it was a major challenge to adapt to European culture. The language, the way of life, the everyday Italian drama. He had never been in even casual contact with Italians, so total immersion in all things Italian was a shock to his system.
Carlo was his connection, his guide, his translator, his loving facilitator. He gently eased him into the stylish and glamorous Italian lifestyle that Adam is enamored with.
He felt like a cultural chameleon. A simple boy from the grassy Pampas of the Rio de la Plata becoming fully Mexican by osmosis, then an American, and finally an adopted Italian. Three distinct and unique continents in the three short decades of his life. He could almost hear Madonna singing in his mind Don't Cry for me Argentina....-says Adam.
His actual persona is very different from the boy you watch onscreen. He know sex is an important thing in life, but it is not everything. Onscreen he is 110% sexual, and dominating. Actually, he am dominating in real life, but not so pervasively sexual. I am a very quiet and calm man. Adam declares.
COLT Studio gave him the chance to attract attention from many sectors. He consider them his family. They may have had a scandalous separation earlier this year, but after protracted negotiations they settled on a mutually beneficial new agreement. COLT Studio is my family, and families battle, and struggle, but eventually pull themselves back together. So why not with my COLT family?- says Adam.
His best experiences in the adult industry were meeting cool people including icons of the business like stars, directors and producers who he respects so much.
For Adam 2009 is a very promising year. He has a new and exciting contract, and very soon he will be working his way back to that city with cable cars by the Golden Gate to film all-new productions. Also, he is setting up a new tour of Mexico and Guatemala, while he and Carlo are fully booked with their live performances up and down the boot of Italy. His new project in Europe is staged through his own company, the Fush Fush Group. COLT Studio now offers websites in Spanish as well as English.
Carlo and Adam were thinking of getting married soon. Unfortunately, gay marriage is not legal in Italy yet. Pope Benedict XVI has blocked it. So they plan to get married in Spain where gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender people have equal rights with the rest of society.
His life in Rome is very subdued. He wakes up late, around 10 a.m., then heads to the gym for an hour workout. After that Adam comes back home and starts working with his PC. His website requires a lot of time, and so does organizing live performances in Europe. In Rome Adam loves to visit the innumerable historical, and cultural sites whenever he has a chance.
He admits the he wasn't even interested in sex until he was 24 years old. He felt atracted men since he was a little boy, but not in an overtly sexual sense. He liked to watch naked men. Later he discovered how to have fun with a naked man.
Champ earned the 2008 GAYVN Award in the Best Solo category.
