Career
Yahshua made his debut in the industry in 2004 around the age of 34.[https://www.iafd.com/person.rme/perfid=princenashur/gender=male IAFD Profile] During his early work Yahshua first appeared with everyman features before undergoing a makeover, after which he shaved his head and built a 200 lb (91 kg) muscular physique. He also began wearing socks and Timberland work boots during his scenes, which became his trademark appearance. He also maintained the same stage name during the course of his career, despite variations in its spelling.
On August 23, 2010, Yahshua sustained a penile fracture during a shoot with Bethany Benz for West Coast Productions. He was rushed to Encino Hospital Medical Center and received an emergency operation, which lasted three and a half hours. He began physical therapy on September 10. It was initially diagnosed as a career-ending injury, but doctors later informed Yahshua that he would be able to resume working after sixty days. He received financial support from West Coast Productions during that time.{{cite magazine|url=http://business.avn.com/articles/video/Prince-Yahshua-on-the-Mend-After-Set-Mishap-410312.html |title= Prince Yahshua on the Mend After Set Mishap|accessdate=2013-08-28|author=Buzz Killington|date=2010-09-01|magazine=AVN}}
