About Me

As a child, it was apparent that Arielle was gifted as she sat on the lap of an opera singer and mimicked her every sound on pitch. Over the years, she developed a love for music, among other things, and at the age of 21, she graduated from Oral Roberts University (ORU) with a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology. During her time at ORU, she served as a member of music ministries and souls ‘a’ fire choir to name a few. She also served as a television singer on the national inspirational broadcast, “The Hour of Healing: Something Good Tonight”, in which she was afforded the opportunity to travel across the country with ORU’s President, Richard Roberts, as a part of his ministry team. She has also been privileged to sing background for the late O'Landa Draper, gospel sensation Kim Burrell, as well as lending her talents for the "Itching Ears" soundtrack on lead and background vocals...and more to come! Her most recent endeavors include a lead role, in the gospel, musical production by Danielle Roberson, entitled "Itching Ears", as Camille Akil. (www.myspace.com/danierob or www.myspace.com/perpetualinnovations)Arielle has a heart to see women of all ages embrace every aspect of their being as God-given, which is why she completed the Esthetics Program at Texarkana Cosmetology Academy. Now licensed (in the state of TX) as an Esthetician, she feels it's another way to minister to young women. “God makes no mistakes, and when He made each and every one of us, He had a plan; He saw that perfect plan completed perfectly, and no matter how low or how high our vision of ourselves, when God looks at us, He sees His perfect, completed plan.”Arielle is a member of Christ Nations Church (Pastor Isaac Pitre) where she serves as the director of praise & worship.
