In a nod to his dynamic and boundary-pushing career, sexually fluid performer and creator Cliff Jensen has officially snagged his first-ever Urban X Award nomination. And the category couldn’t be more fitting: Pansexual Performer of the Year.
For Jensen, who has built a brand on his authentic versatility across the entire spectrum of adult content, this nomination feels like a major milestone. He’s clearly buzzing with excitement, and he’s not shy about what it means to him.
“I love this nomination because it recognizes all my work in every genre that I work in,” Jensen shared. “It would be great to win it.”
A Career Without Labels
If you’ve followed Cliff Jensen’s journey, you know he’s not one to be boxed in. He has consistently worked with performers of all genders, building a loyal fanbase that appreciates his genuine approach to sexuality and performance. This nomination feels less like a simple award nod and more like a validation of his entire career ethos: to create passionate, authentic scenes without being limited by outdated industry labels. It’s a philosophy that has earned him nominations from various award bodies in the past, but the Urban X nod for pansexuality hits different.
More Than Just an Award
The Urban X Awards have long been celebrated for highlighting diversity and honoring performers of color and those who champion inclusivity within the adult industry. The “Pansexual Performer of the Year” category itself is a reflection of a major industry shift. As more creators gain control over their content through fan platforms, performers like Jensen are free to express their true selves, and audiences are loving it. It’s a move away from rigid genres and toward a more fluid, authentic, and performer-driven market.
Fans have already started rallying online, flooding Jensen’s social media with messages of support. He’s leaning into that energy with a direct appeal and a tantalizing promise for his followers.
“If you’re a fan or industry friend, please drop a vote for me; you only need to do it once,” he urged. “I’d really appreciate it. And I promise if I win, I’ll do something very special for my fans.”
What could that “something special” be? Jensen is keeping it under wraps for now, but it’s a brilliant way to get his community involved in the celebration.
Mark Your Calendars
Voting is open until August 1st. The main event, hosted by the powerhouse trio of Isiah Maxwell, Lacy Lennon, and Ebony Mystique, is set to light up the Regent Theater in Downtown Los Angeles on Sunday, August 17th. Whether he takes home the trophy or not, this nomination solidifies Cliff Jensen’s place as a true trailblazer.
As he looks toward the awards, it’s clear the recognition itself is a massive win. For Jensen, and for an industry that’s slowly but surely learning to celebrate every color of the rainbow, this moment matters.
