Early life

Styles was born in Thailand to a single mother who worked as a sex worker. They two later moved to the United Kingdom after she married a British national. Once the marriage ended, his mother returned to Thailand, leaving Styles at an orphanage. He remained in the orphanage until the age of 16.

Styles took up boxing, becoming a regional champion as a teen. He was considered but ultimately passed on to represent Team Britain in the Youth Olympic Games. He later joined the British Army and served in Northern Ireland[citation needed], Bosnia, Kosovo twice, and Iraq twice during his seven years of active duty.

After leaving the army, he entered the pornography industry, starting a company called "Superman Stamina". Styles was active in pornographic movies since August 2006, and retired in 2015. He first found steady work in Eastern Europe, relocating to live in both Prague and Budapest. In January 2010, Styles moved to Los Angeles. He is regarded as the first heterosexual Asian male porn star in American pornography by some. In July 2015, Styles announced his retirement from the porn industry on his blog, KeniCamz.
