IMDbProStarmeterSee rank
Born and raised in Los Angeles, California, I began a career in the entertainment industry as an actress/dancer/singer at the ripe age of 7 and continued to flourish in my abilities for many years. The vast knowledge I've collected as an extremely accomplished dancer/performer enables me to meet and anticipate the needs and concerns of every performer.

That same experience has also opened the doors to many styling opportunities. I've styled for artists such as Usher, The Dream, Paulina Rubio, etc. and, assisted in the creative direction for the "Raymond V. Raymond" promo tour. Most recently, I had the pleasure of styling the Meghan Trainor video, "All ABout That Bass" and Trey Songz dancers for his "Between the Sheets Tour" while simultaneously transitioning into television. I've worked as a costumer on "Real Husbands of Hollywood", "The Perfect Match", Seasons 2, 3 & 4 of ABC's Black-ish and Grown-ish and "The New Edition Story". Since styling and wardrobe costuming for tv/film differ greatly, I've gained much more knowledge of costumes in general and have even more to offer in my career.

    • Trivia
      Arike was a member of late-90s girl group Before Dark, who had R&B hits with Baby (no. 48), Come Correct (93) and Monica (41.) No doubt that was good practice for her role as a Stepp Sister in Dreamgirls.
