Who is Mariah Carey?
Mariah Carey was born in Huntington, New York State, USA, on 27 March 1969 – her zodiac sign is Aries and she holds American nationality. She is particularly recognized for her vocal range of five octaves, and became famous after the release of her self-titled debut album in 1990.
She was raised alongside her two older siblings by their mother Patricia who was an opera singer, and their father Alfred Roy Carey who was an aeronautical engineer.
The family had many problems because Patricia was white and Alfred was black – their neighbors poisoned their dog and set their car on fire, problems which eventually led to Mariah’s parents’ divorce. Mariah attended Harborfields High School, at which she started singing and writing poetry.
After the head of Columbia Records, Tommy Mottola, heard Mariah’s demo tape, he signed her to his agency, and her debut album topped the Billboard 200 Chart, holding its position for over three months. She released her second album, “Emotions” on 17 September 1991, but rejected going on tour because she was scared of performing on stage in front of thousands of people.
Mariah has now released 15 albums, eight compilation albums and a single remix album, and has also released 72 singles.
She launched her acting career in 2001, with her starring role in the musical drama movie “Glitter”, and has since appeared in over 20 movies and TV series, some of which are the 2008 action black comedy movie “You Don’t Mess with the Zohan”, the 2016 comedy “Popstar: Never Stop Never Stopping”, and the 2017 comedy movie “Girls Trip”.
