Motley Models added a significant piece to its roster Wednesday by signing Alexa Payne—a Texas-born brunette whose popularity has been climbing ever since her debut 12 months ago.

Payne told PornCrush she’s confident her career will elevate “to a new level” under the guidance of Motley owner Dave Rock.

“I like the way Dave runs his agency,” Payne said in a phone interview. “Instead of just focusing on bookings, he goes the extra mile and helps out with other things: OnlyFans, Fansly, and mainstream opportunities. He really wants to manage your entire career. That’s what I was looking for.”

Payne, who turned 27 on Tuesday, has already enjoyed a considerable amount of success. Her career highlights to date include three shoots for Brazzers—including a yet-to-be-released scene with icon Keiran Lee—and a scorching scene for Blacked with Rob Piper.

“I’m pretty happy with what I’ve done so far,” Payne said. “I definitely think I could’ve done a lot more. I’m looking forward to shooting with bigger companies soon. Hopefully, I’ll be doing a lot more with Brazzers. I’d really like to work with Jules Jordan. And Adult Time, too. I’d love to work for them.”

A former high school track star, Payne said she feels like a completely different performer than she was at this time one year ago.

“I’ve grown and improved a lot,” Payne said. “When I first started, I was really nervous before my scenes. I’m not that way anymore. I feel like my acting is a little bit better, too. I’m starting to feel more confident in front of the camera.”

Payne has yet to open her backdoor for a mainstream anal scene. But she hasn’t ruled out the possibility of it happening in the future.

“I wouldn’t say it’s a complete ‘no,’” Payne said. “I might start doing it—just not yet.”

Payne is also one of the more in-demand feature dancers in the industry, having recently headlined at Sapphire in New York City and the Peppermint Hippo in Las Vegas. A 5-foot-5 stunner with 34D breasts and a tushy made for twerking, Payne has all of the physical characteristics needed for success on both a stripper stage and a porn set.

Payne moved from her native Dallas to Fort Lauderdale in April. She said she plans to spend a large chunk of time in Los Angeles over the next eight months before possibly moving to Porn Valley once her lease expires.

“You’ll definitely be seeing a lot more of me in LA,” she said.

Payne’s addition is yet another example of a recent trend by Motley to sign either new or under-developed talent with high ceilings. The agency scored big by landing newcomers Layla Jenner and Sisi Rose—currently two of the most in-demand models in porn. Rookies Skyler Storm and Khloe Kingsley are also experiencing a surge in momentum.

“We’re hoping Alexa can carve out her own little slot, too,” Rock said. “She’s the complete package—a very high-level model. She takes stunning photos and really knows how to promote herself online.

“She’s had a great start to her career, but there’s still a ton of upside we’re looking to tap into.”
