He began training in West African dance at six years old, under the tutelage of his mother and father and later became the Assistant Director of the family company, The Maimouna Ketia School of African Dance. Working with master African dancers, Wiles evolved the skills needed to teach the art of traditional African dance. Venturing further into the world of dance, Wiles found himself learning, training, and falling in love with other styles such as Hip-Hop, House, modern, jazz, and Vogue. 

Through his involvement with the ballroom scene, his love and passion for Vogue dance grew along with his notoriety both inside and outside of the ballroom scene. His choreography has been featured with Janet Jackson, Beyoncé, John Legend, Jidenna, and Rashaad Newsome. He has worked as a featured dancer in 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) and as a principal dancer with Ephrat Ashire Dance. Wiles has been published in Dance magazine’s “Top 25 to Watch,” Korean Vogue, British Vogue in a spread featuring Naomi Campbell, The Observer, Dance Mogul Magazine, and The New York Times.

Most recently, Omari is the lead choreographer for the new off-Broadway musical, CATS' The Jellicle Ball, which debuted at Perelman Performing Arts Center in June 2024.
