Career

While working as a model, Brown was approached by a photographer who suggested he perform in pornographic videos.[6][7] He chose his stage name "Flash Brown" by combining his nickname "Flash" with "Brown", a shortened version of his actual surname.[2][4] Brown began performing in the adult film industry in November 2009.[4] Brown's first performance was an interracial scene for the production company DogFart.[6] The following year, Brown received the Urban X Award for Best Male Newcomer.[8]

In April 2011, Brown partnered with Shinefish Films to launch his own pornographic film studio, Flash Brown Productions.[9] Later that year he received the XBIZ Award for New Male Performer of the Year.[10] In February 2015, Brown signed the first ever exclusive performing contract with Blacked.[3] He renewed his contract the following year.[11] In 2019, Brown received the Urban X Award for Porn Star of the Year.[12]

In 2023 Flash Brown would create his first lgbtq+ scene with content creator Master Roberson. The video is still available on Master Roberson's onlyfans page.
