Former American Idol contestant Nathaniel Marshall — who only made it to the final 36 in Season 8 — has decided to give up the reality-show circuit for a career that will guarantee him a place at the top. Or should I say on top.

This week, Queerty brought it to the world’s attention that the pocket-sized songbird is now a bonafide porn star, making his debut in a little flick called Men Caught On Video 2. If you remember him from the show, you won’t recognize him here. He’s shaved those spiky tips, beefed up a bit and dropped his drawers to reveal … well, let’s just say the gift of song isn’t his only God-given talent. If you want to learn more about the flick, wait till you get home and click on this EXTREMELY NSFW link for clips, screenshots and an interview in which the crooner, whose porn name is Jadyn Daniels, discusses his decision to take up a career in the dirty-movie industry.

And for a porn-star story that hits a little closer to home, check out the current issue of G Philly for Brandon Baker’s feature on now-deceased local adult film star Joey Stefano. You can find the magazine in LGBTQ-friendly business all around town, or wait till it’s published online on Friday.

Happy porn-hopping!
