Growing up, New Zealander Hayley Davies was a proud nerd who participated in mathematics competitions against students from much higher grades. Her good looks turned out to be a kind of secret weapon, causing peers to underestimate her intellectual acumen.
As an adult, she moved to Australia, where she worked in IT and as a personal trainer. Despite being very open-minded and sexually adventurous, the adult industry was still the furthest thing from her mind.
I organize the majority of my shoots as I’m very on top of things.
“It’s funny, I never thought I would end up doing this,” Davies tells XBIZ. “My dream job was to be a detective! But I am so happy. I seriously couldn’t imagine any other life.”
Though she had considered modeling, she didn’t make the leap until one of her friends, who also worked in IT, started an OnlyFans. That inspired Davies to give it a try herself.
“And with my work ethic, it’s brought me far,” she notes. “It hasn’t changed me a lot, I don’t think. Well, it’s made my work addiction worse! Because you can always do more and more. But it’s made me more resilient, stronger and more ambitious.”
Staying on top of her rigorous self-imposed workload, while interacting with fans on social media and building a following, is no small feat — but Davies says she has a strategy.
“It takes a lot of work and dedication,” she says. “I research trends, I have ideas lists, I brainstorm. Then I edit, and try to make it look as good as I can. Staying on top of multiple platforms is so much pressure. It’s really hard to juggle them all! But I engage with my fans on all my platforms as much as I can, and I try to be my truest self.”
Davies spotlights her real-life and geeky side through SFW content on Twitch, TikTok and YouTube, where she focuses on showing her personality as much as she can. In pursuit of staying “on brand” while documenting her adventures, Davies has developed a unique style, vibe and aesthetic.
“Baddie vibes, edgy, kind of goth, but not?” Davies explains, trying to capture her eclectic and multifaceted mystique. “Y2K. Vintage. It’s such a mix of those vibes! I just love being able to feel like me. Since coming to America, I feel like I’ve really been able to fully express my style and it feels so good!”
Leveraging her smarts, looks and tech savvy has proven a winning combo for Davies, who has garnered more than 700,000 followers on Instagram, 450,000 on X and over 375,000 likes on OnlyFans. Her independently-produced OF content includes boy/girl, girl/girl, threesomes, solo play, findom, femdom, JOI, live shows and more.
“Boy/girl sells best for me, though I usually do boy/girl/girl,” she shares. “But I want to start doing more boy/girl stuff in general, since amateur content sells best for me! My fans really love the intimate, real stuff.”
Since collaborating with other talent is her bread and butter, she applies the same focused approach to those shoots as she does to all of her ventures.
“I organize the majority of my shoots as I’m very on top of things,” she reveals. “You discuss the plan first, make sure everyone is happy and make sure it goes as planned, as much as possible. Then you share the content. Open and honest communication is always very important. So I just communicate each idea and ask my collaborators if they’re comfortable with it, and with the costs involved.”
Given her momentum, Davies sought out an industry agency with a stellar roster, ultimately signing with Spiegler Girls.
“It was a really great achievement being signed by Spiegler, especially so fast,” she says. “I knew I wouldn’t sign with anyone else. Mark Spiegler is truly amazing, I am so grateful to have him around me.”
Having begun to spread her wings beyond indie content, Davies says that so far, her favorite studios to work for are Brazzers, Vixen Media Group, Adult Time and Jules Jordan.
Working so much, she finds, can make it a challenge to stay healthy, mentally and physically.
“Even If I’m not shooting, I’m making more content and doing more work,” she admits. “I love social media, but sometimes it would be nice to enjoy things without having to worry about posting and stopping for pictures.”
One thing that helps Davies is breath work. Taking classes in the ancient practice has helped her come to life-changing realizations, and she implements deep breathing in her day-to-day life to help her be present and put her best foot forward.
As she casts her gaze to the horizon, Davies has a lot of ambitions. But the most difficult one, she confesses, will be to try and slow down.
“My main goal is to stop working every hour of every day, and try to enjoy life outside of work,” she shares. “I would love to get a cool hobby and maybe take up sewing again. I love art! I have a lot of other goals around my business, which I won’t go into detail about, but these are some of my more personal aims.
“I will still work really hard, but doing 100-plus hours a week is too much!” she laughs. “Going forward this year, I’d love to create more balance and have time to take care of myself and feel healthy and free again. This will be a slow process and hard to do, but it’s a priority.”
