Rik Parker, born July 12, 1975 in a suburb of Washington, D.C. lives and works in Los Angeles and New York City.
Parker is best known as a nightlife host in New York City and formerly, the DC Area. At the age of 14 he was discovered performing a form of what today would be called parkour and was quickly hired to "dance" at DC area nightclubs.
It wasn't long before he became a fixture of DC nightlife as a promoter, DJ, and host of various events until he moved to New York to pursue a career as an actor and screenwriter. Once in New York he found himself promoting parties at the fabled Limelight nightclub owned by Peter Gatien. The Limelight would prove to become the catalyst for Parker's creative ambitions and he soon adopted the persona Soulever as his 'stage name' in the club kid days of the early 1990's.
Now, all but retired from the fulltime dancing and DJ gigs, Parker still continues to host major events in New York nightlife and is frequently linked to people of interest in local media.
