Gia Paloma grew up in Walnut, California and is of Italian ancestry. Her stage name comes from Gia, a 1998 movie in which Angelina Jolie played model Gia Carangi, and Paloma, the Spanish word for dove and the name of Pablo Picasso's daughter.
Gia Paloma originally worked at a Starbucks before doing porn. She got into the business because she needed money and also to get back at an ex-boyfriend. Known for her aggressive double penetrations and edgy sex scenes, Paloma has made her mark for her willingness to try anything in her videos.
She overdosed on cocaine in January 2005 in which her pulse increased to over three times a "normal" rate. She recovered quickly and returned to signing autographs at an Anabolic booth the next day, followed by an appearance at the AVN Awards (where she received a trophy for "Best All-Girl Sex Scene").
Gia was a contract director for a company called New Boundaries in 2005. She signed a performing contract with Extreme Associates while still in the middle of her directing contract. She ended her contract with Extreme Associates in May 2006.
She has directed four titles so far, three were included in her series, "Nasty, Hard Sex" and the collaborative title with her ex-husband, Coffee Ron, entitled "Domestic Disturbance".
Gia Paloma ended a four year run of adult performances in February 2007. She now works as a full-time make-up artist. She has a short appearance in Charlie Band's "Decadent Evil 2", in the opening credits, and a full role in John Lechago's "Biolslime" as a character by the name of Annie. Both are non-sex roles in feature-length horror movies. Paloma is working with Doug Sakman for his upcoming Horror-Porn featurette, Evil Head.
She married Naughty America director, and ex adult performer, Tommy Pistol in December 2007. They had their first child (son) in August 2008.
