Briana began her career in explicit hardcore movies at the age of 21, adopting the stage name Mirage in August 1999. She has since worked with prominent adult film studios such as Wicked, Metro, Elegant Angel, and Adam and Eve, signing an exclusive contract with Vivid Entertainment in April 2001. The Pet of the Month in the June 2001 issue of "Penthouse," Briana has been a prominent figure in the adult entertainment industry.
