Mariah Carey - Fact Sheet

Profession: Musician

The best-selling female performer of the 1990s, Mariah Carey rose to superstardom on the strength of her stunning five-octave voice; an elastic talent who moved easily from glossy ballads to hip-hop-inspired dance-pop. When she was just 17 years of age and 1 day after graduating she headed to New York City to pursue a singing career. Her big break came as a back up vocalist for singer Brenda Starr, who handed Mariah's demo tape to Tommy Mattola. After signing to Columbia, Mariah worked on her self titled debut album featuring number one singles "Vision of Love," "Love Takes Time," "Someday," and "I Don't Wanna Cry." Her album proved to be a success. In 1993 Mariah wed Mattola but needless to say her album sales weren't doing as well. In 1994 she made a comeback with her holiday release Merry Christmas featuring the smash hit "All I Want For Christmas Is You". After seperating from Mattola in 1997 her album sales were scraping the bottom of the charts. The 2000's were definately not kind to Mariah, after signing an 80 million dollar deal with Virgin, her albums flopped as well as her movie Glitter. Virgin paid her 28 million before they parted ways. Mariah has recently made yet another comeback with the release of her two hit songs titled "We Belong Together" and "It's Like That" on her new album The Emancipation Of Mimi.
