exclusive contract with the top porn company Vivid in November, 2006.
She became a free agent a year later and went on to sign an exclusive
contract with Adam & Eve. Kross was the Pet of the Month for the
September, 2008 issue of Penthouse and launched her official website
that same year. In January, 2010 Kayden became a contract girl for
Digital Playground. Kross was cited by CNBC as one of the twelve most
popular girls in hardcore cinema in January, 2011 and hosted the Xbiz
Awards Show in 2012. Moreover, Kayden not only writes columns for the

Among the awards Kross has won for her work in adult fare are the Hot

Actress International and an Erotixxx Award for Best U.S. Actress in
2010, and an AVN Award for Best All-Girl Group Sex Scene in 2011.
