Shyla Stylez, a Canadian adult film star of German heritage, was born on September 23, 1982, in Armstrong, British Columbia. Her fascination with a career in the adult industry began during her teenage years, and she subsequently pursued it by undertaking nude photoshoots, live web-cam shows, and working as a stripper.
As her career progressed, Shyla relocated to Los Angeles, California, to further her aspirations. She was formally introduced to the adult film industry by Erik Everhard and made her debut in the hardcore movie genre in 2000, working with Anabolic Video. This marked the beginning of a successful career, as Shyla became a contract girl for Jill Kelly Productions and even married the company's CEO, Bob Friedland, in 2002. However, the couple divorced just a year later, in August 2003.
Shyla's remarkable career continued to flourish, earning her a nomination for the prestigious AVN Award for Best New Starlet in 2003. After a brief hiatus, she made a triumphant comeback in 2006, boasting significantly larger surgically enhanced 36DD breasts. This comeback was met with great success, as Shyla was named one of the top 12 female stars in porn by Maxim magazine in 2010. Furthermore, she was inducted into the Urban X Awards Hall of Fame in 2011 and the AVN Hall of Fame in 2016.
Tragically, Shyla Stylez's life was cut short when she passed away at the age of 35 on November 9, 2017. Despite her untimely death, Shyla's legacy continues to be celebrated and remembered in the adult film industry, where she remains a beloved and iconic figure.
