Ford began his adult film career at age 40, making twelve pornographic videos in 10 months before leaving the industry in 2002 to refocus on his musical persuits.

As a recording artist, Ford released five studio albums since 2008 that blend his roots in R&B and soul with dance music elements. Among his singles, his collaboration with Pepper MaShay on "Signed, Sealed, Delivered" (2004) and "Let Me Live Again" (2011) both charted on Billboard's Dance Club Songs.

He made cameo appearances in several LGBT-related feature films throughout the 2000s, before making his off-Broadway debut in 2011 with Little House on the Ferry. Ford died in 2025 at the age of 62 due to a hiking accident.
