Chanel Santini was born on January 7, 1998, in Albuquerque, New Mexico, to a Mexican-American family. Raised in a Hispanic Catholic household, she moved to Las Vegas shortly after high school to pursue a more exciting life. Her entry into the adult industry came unexpectedly in 2016 when a friend responded to a Craigslist ad from Grooby Productions, sparking her career. Since then, Chanel has become a celebrated figure, known for her work with top studios like Evil Angel, TransSensual, and GenderX, as well as her advocacy for transgender representation.
