TOMIKO BIO

I was born a poor black child....just kidding. :) I was born and raised in Las Vegas and moved away when I was 18 to go to college. I was in school with a full ride music scholarship (play piano, saxophone and clarinet). The scholarship was for the clarinet even though I couldn't believe I could get a scholarship for an instrument I didn't really like all that much. lol. After 3 years of school, I decided to take a break. I had a very strict upbringing and decided I wanted to see some of the world. I had always been a good student, but I felt like I wasn't taking school seriously enough and wasting money. I traveled around quite a bit and worked in a job that was flexible as well as good paying. This allowed me to travel quite a bit. I found myself at one point aimless with no goals and felt like perhaps I needed to get grounded again ,so I moved back to base camp (Las Vegas). Always being goal oriented, I couldn't stand the fact that I had not finished school, so I decided to go back to UNR and get my degree in teaching (what I had studied before). I finished and got my degree, and I have to tell you. It was a very emotional time for me. My softy self cried at my graduation, because I was able to complete my goal, and despite the discouragement I received from so many people that I would never finish, I did! I taught for 2 years and realized I hated it. I have the most respect for teachers and think they are so underpaid. I just realized that it was not for me. I kind of march to the beat of my own drum. 

At 29 I decided that I was going to become a fire fighter. I had all the materials together and was going to go to a seminar. The guy in my life at the time, talked me out of it, and I am so thankful he did. At the time, I thought he was being ridiculous. He told me that I should be a model. Realistically, I saw my age and my height being a major factor of why I wouldn't be able to do so, but it was something that I secretly always wanted to do. I humored him and was immediately picked up by an agent. I told him that if I were to go for this, I was going to give it my all...110%. In my case, it was more like 150%.

We moved to Los Angeles from the Bay Area and my career took off. I started to do Acting work as well, and after the move to Los Angeles, I got into wrestling and fetish work. Even though I was doing those categories, I still remained doing mainstream work as well and continue to do so at the present time.

As I got older, I thought the work would dry up...like around 40. I had to think of a plan...for my future. I started a production company. At first I had a friend help me with the editing and shooting, but being the geek that I am, I wanted to learn all of this on my own and do my own producing. I took on the whole thing by myself and now you see the "one woman show" I am today with Tomiko1 Productions, LLC.

If you would have asked me what I saw myself doing in the future, I don't think I could have ever imagined I would be my own boss and enjoying the heck out of life, loving every minute of it, and loving my work. That is my story. :)
