LOS ANGELES, Calif. – Leading trans adult studio Grooby has begun its 30th anniversary celebration with a new hardcore scene featuring award-winning performer Aubrey Kate paired with Chris Epic. The new scene was released on GroobyGirls.com.

“It’s a true honor to be Grooby’s first Model of the Year for their 30th anniversary,” Kate said. “Grooby has always been close to my heart, a company that not only believed in me but knew how to bring out my most sensual, intimate side on camera. This shoot was deeply exciting and so much fun, and I’m already looking forward to the next time we get to play together on set.”

“I told you we had big plans for our 30th Anniversary Year – but I didn’t tell you Aubrey Kate would be starting the year for us, for her first time back in a Grooby studio since her VR scenes in 2017,” noted Grooby owner Steven Grooby. “We were lucky and I’m so excited to bring back this absolute icon, who I see every year and have followed her career from model/performer, multiple award winner, company owner, and now director.

“She’s undoubtedly one of the most recognizable faces and names of the past 12+ years in trans porn, and she just gets better and better,” Grooby added,

In the release announcement, the studio said it has more “special content planned for the year ahead.”

Founded in 1996, Grooby has grown into the leading producer of trans erotica. As noted in the release announcement, the company “has built a global reputation for its commitment to diversity, authenticity, and ethical production practices – centering trans performers and pushing the industry toward greater representation.”

The studio’s catalog now includes over 30 distinct websites, multiple DVD lines and digital streaming platforms.

“As the first company where many of the industry’s most prominent trans performers make their adult debuts, Grooby has long served as a launching pad for a long history of beloved trans performers,” the announcement added.

Grooby also the host of the annual Transgender Erotica Awards (TEAs), an industry-wide celebration spotlighting trans excellence in adult entertainment.
