Colton ford was the stage name for Glenn Soukesian who came to prominence as a gay adult film star in his 40s. He later launched a music career.
Ford was the cover star of OUTinPerth’s March 2011 edition, and spoke to journalist Benn Dorrington about his career journey.
Music was Ford’s first love, and he worked alongside some big producers and had a record contract in the 1980s. Despite is hard work nothing materialised.
It was only after he found success in the adult film industry in his 40’s that Ford was able to start releasing music thanks to newly found fame.
As well as branching out into music, Ford got into acting appearing the gay themed TV series The Laird and also appearing in several stage productions.
