She had entered the adult entertainment scene in the mid-2000s after relocating to Los Angeles. The performer received acclaim for her work, earning multiple AVN awards and becoming a household name.

"On her good days, when she was most herself, she could warm up a room with her radiant smile, get others laughing in no time at all. She was all brightness and bubble, with never a cross word to say about another."
The fundraising page noted that "despite all of her many impressive accomplishments and talents, Kagney struggled with mental health issues as the years passed by".
"As alone as she undoubtedly felt within the confines of her own head, she continued to make an effort to show up for her friends and the community who cared about her," they said.
