Being the second youngest from a large Irish Catholic family, the young Aiden Shaw was always determined to stand out amongst his siblings. As a boy Aiden was desperate to become a pop-star and at 18 he enrolled on a performance and visual arts course at Brighton College. Around this time he 'discovered' prostitution and supplemented his income by becoming a male escort. With his chisled face (his looks have been likened to Richard Gere), muscular body and huge penis, Aiden was destined to become a sexual legend. In the early 1990s he moved to L.A. and very soon established himself as one of the most celebrated and popular sex superstars of all time. Working mainly in gay porno for all the majot studios (Falcon, Catalina, Studio 2000) Aiden has made in excess of 50 hardcore videos, including 'Grand Prize' (1992), 'Grease Guns' (1993), 'The Backroom' (1995) and 'New Pledgemaster' (1995). Very much an intellectual, Aiden stands alone from his porno contemporaries. In 1996 he wrote his first (semi-autobiographicl) novel 'Brutal' and the following year had a collection of poetry published. In recent years he has concentrated on his career as a writer, composer, poet and singer and he continues to work only sporadically in porn. He was diagnosed as HIV+ in 1997. His first mainstream film 'Kiss Kiss Bang Bang' (for which he also wrote the music) was released in 2000.
