After completing high school, Shyla Stylez moved to Vancouver, British Columbia and began doing nude photoshoots and live webcam shows for adult websites, while also being employed as a stripper.
In 2000, at the age of 18 Shyla moved to Los Angeles. She was featured in films by Anabolic Productions and Jim Kelly Productions. She later married the CEO, Bob Friedland and worked exclusively for Jill Kelly Productions. Shyla’s breasts were augmented to 32D in two operations in 2002.
Shyla remained with Jill Kelly Productions until 2005 when she temporarily left the adult industry after her divorce with Bob Friedland. During this hiatus, Shyla’s breasts were further enhanced to 36DD. In 2006, she returned to the adult industry and has since been featured in many DVDs and web-sites.
Shyla was involved in a sex scandal with former Orange County, California assistant-sheriff George Jaramillo, where she was noted as having had several sexual encounters with him in 2003.
Shyla also hosted the Los Angeles independent TV show Un-Wired TV in 2007.[3][4] In 2010, she was named by Maxim as one of the 12 top female stars in porn.
In 2011 Shyla was inducted into the Urban X Awards Hall of Fame and in 2016 to AVN Hall of Fame (Video Branch).
