Dava Foxx

Born Danielle Iannelli on April 27, 1982, in Yonkers, New York, Dava is of Italian descent. She moved to Florida for college, graduating from the University of Central Florida, and later lived in Miami before returning to Manhattan. Before her adult career, she worked in the front office at United Health Care for two years and spent ten years at Hooters, where she was promoted to marketing and management. That role relocated her to California, where she managed the Tilted Kilt restaurant chain. During this time, she also worked for Playboy TV, and her experiences there eventually led to her entry into porn. After appearing on a Playboy TV show twice, both times under the influence of alcohol and hooking up with a man on camera, Kieran Lee encouraged her to pursue adult films. Her first hardcore scene was produced by Brazzers, and she went on to work with companies like 3rd Degree, Mile High, Evil Angel, Girlfriends Films, and Desperate Pleasures, as well as websites such as Pure Mature, Reality Kings, and Naughty America.

Dava has been candid about her personal life. She lost track of the number of partners she had before entering porn, estimating several hundred men, and she never had sex with women prior to her career. One of her more memorable encounters took place in a DJ booth at a night club. She has also mentioned having had sugar daddies in Miami and Los Angeles who bought her jewelry, purses, and dogs. Her family knows about her job; her father, a typical New York Italian, took it well, while her sister was initially disappointed but later expressed interest in becoming her financial manager. In her spare time, she enjoys hiking and visiting theme parks. In the adult industry, she has appeared in 66 videos, 15 photosets, and posed for 71 covers.
