Kyle Ross — born Aaron Cumbey on June 30, 1993 in Southlake, Texas — was the beating heart of Helix Studios for eight years and over 75 scenes. He signed with the studio in 2012 at 19 after a troubled adolescence involving his family's financial collapse and a Xanax addiction, and never looked back. Kyle brought a new era of hardcore twink porn to Helix, and his early scenes still rank among the studio's most-watched years later. He won GayVN's Favorite Twink in 2019, starred in the award-winning Vegas Nights, and was the subject of "Twink," a young adult biography in the Rise Up novel series. Kyle was half of Helix's power couple with Max Carter — together six years, even engaged — before splitting amicably. He had an identical twin brother, Kris, who also performed for the studio. After retiring from performing in 2020, Kyle moved into behind-the-scenes work as HR and operations manager. He lived with multiple sclerosis. Kyle died on April 23, 2023 at age 29 in a solo car accident in Florida. One of the most important performers in twink porn history, gone way too soon.
