Born in Antigua, June Ambrose originally pursued a career in finance, 
but found herself unhappy in the business world. While working at Uptown
 MCA Records in the early 90s, she was introduced to the world of 
fashion styling, and she decided to shift her focus. Among her circle of
 friends she was already recognized as the trendsetter and would often 
dress everyone in her social circle. She parlayed this talent into a 
career, and quickly turned heads. She began styling artists for shoots 
with Rolling Stone Magazine, Vibe, and Arena. She revolutionized the 
image of the female in hip-hop, with her groundbreaking styling of Missy
 Elliott in the iconic The Rain (Supa Dupa Fly) video. Since then, she 
has styled everyone who is anyone in the music and film worlds, 
including Alicia Keys, Luther Vandross, Mariah Carey, Will Smith, Zoe 
Saldana, Mary J. Blige, and Kim Cattrall, to name a few. She is 
currently starring on her own show on VH1, called Styled by June.
