Biography
Addison Rae Easterling, an actress, dancer, and pop singer born and raised in Lafayette, Louisiana, first took up competitive dance at age six. After a short stint at Louisiana State University, she joined the influential TikTok collaborative group The Hype House, which triggered a sharp rise in her viewership and prompted a move to Los Angeles. A 2000 agreement with the WME talent agency helped convert her online visibility into work in advertising, film roles, and her own cosmetics line, establishing her as one of the platform’s top earners with nearly 80 million followers after her 2019 breakthrough via dance clips.
Her 2021 appearance on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon coincided with the release of her sultry debut single “Obsessed,” which reached five countries and anchored her Billboard-charting EP AR two years later. Further exposure arrived via a featured spot on the Charli XCX “Von Dutch” remix from the 2024 album Brat, after which Rae issued her own track “Diet Pepsi,” a 2024 single that climbed to number 81 on the Hot 100.
