Through his involvement in the ballroom scene, his passion for Vogue (dance) blossomed. As his reputation as a Battle CAT with impressive CatWalk and Hands grew within the ballroom community, it extended beyond those boundaries. Wiles has collaborated with various artists, showcasing his diverse dance skills. His choreography has been featured in performances with Janet Jackson, Beyoncé, John Legend, Jidenna, and Rashaad Newsome. 
He has also appeared as a prominent dancer, highlighting Afrobeats (with Goldlink, Jidenna, Maleek Berry, and Wunmi), West African dance (with Janet Jackson, Beyoncé, and Forces), and Vogue (with Rashaad Newsome, Lady Gaga, Madonna, and Jennifer Hudson). Wiles has been recognized in Dance Magazine’s “Top 25 to Watch,” Korean Vogue, and British Vogue alongside Naomi Campbell, The Observer, Dance Mogul Magazine, Dance Magazine, Paper Magazine, and The New York Times. Additionally, he competed with his house, The International Royal House of Nina Oricci, on Legendary Season 2 on HBOMax.
 Currently, Wiles is shaping his unique dance style with his company, LES BALLET AFRIK, blending African, Vogue, Modern, and House elements. He and his company have showcased their talents at prestigious venues like the Joyce Theater, the Guggenheim, and the New York Metropolitan Museum.
