Ariel began her career as a creator on musical.ly in 2015, downloading the app out of boredom.[5] In 2015, Ariel launched an anti-bullying campaign called #ArielMovement, described by BlackBook as one of her most important endeavors.[10] People magazine recognized her for her support in the #HackHarassment initiative to stop Internet trolls and negativity on the Internet.[11]

In 2016, Ariel was featured on the cover of Billboard magazine alongside fellow Musical.ly personality Jacob Sartorius.[12] She has appeared on 60 Minutes[13] and Good Morning America[14] and has been cited as a top influencer by Forbes,[15][16][17] People,[18] and USA Today.[19] Ariel signed with Creative Artists Agency in September 2016[20] and released her debut single "Aww" on December 1, 2017.[10][21][22] She released her second single "Perf" on January 17, 2018.[23]

On March 30, 2018, Ariel released the song "Say It" with Daniel Skye.[24] She collaborated with EA Games for The Sims 4, appearing as a Sim in the expansion pack The Sims 4: Get Famous, released in November 2018.[25] In late 2018, Ariel starred in Baby Doll Records, a mini-series on Brat. In 2019, she starred in Bixler High Private Eye, a Nickelodeon television film. Later that year, it was announced that she would be appearing in the Disney Channel film Zombies 2, and would portray the role of Wynter.
