There's Got To Be A Way...

About Me

I'm truly honored and thankful to be considered one of the best-selling Pop/R&B female performers of the 1990's and today. I rose to superstardom on the strength of my stunning five-octave voice; an elastic talent that moved easily from glossy ballads to hip-hop-inspired dance-pop, I earned frequent comparison to rivals Whitney Houston and Celine Dion , but did them both one better by composing all of my own material.Born in Long Island, NY, on March 27, 1970, I moved to New York City at the age of 17 -- just one day after graduating high school -- to pursue a music career; there I befriended keyboardist Ben Margulies , with whom I began writing songs. My big break came as a backing vocalist on a studio session with dance-pop singer Brenda K. Starr , who handed my demo tape to Columbia Records head Tommy Mottola at a party. According to legend, Mottola listened to the tape in his limo while driving home that same evening, and was so immediately struck by my talent that he doubled back to the party to track me down... After signing to Columbia, I entered the studio to begin work on my 1990 self-titled debut LP; the heavily promoted album was achart-topping smash, launching no less than four number one singles:"Vision of Love,""Love Takes Time,""Someday,"and"I Don't Wanna Cry."My overnight success earned Grammy awards as Best New Artist and Best Female Vocalist, and expectations were high for my follow-up, 1991's Emotions . The album did not disappoint, as the title track reached number one -- a record fifth consecutive chart-topper -- while both"Can't Let Go"and"Make It Happen"landed in the Top Five. My next release was 1992's MTV Unplugged EP, which generated a number-one cover of the Jackson 5 's"I'll Be There"; featured on the track was backup singer Trey Lorenz , whose appearance immediately helped him land a recording contract of his own...Having fun playing with "Jack" and my new dog "JJ" (Jack Jr.) December 2007...My exciting new fragrance "M" by Mariah Carey in association with Elizabeth Arden...

Mariah Quotes:1."What I write is all from my imagination. Fact is, I haven't had time to experience all that, but that doesn't mean to say that I don't write from the heart, because I do. I put myself in other women's shoes, I can feel their pain and joy when I think about it. It's all the same, we're all women"...2."When you start believing the hype, that's when you go downhill. I definitely feel the same person I was two years ago when no one wanted to listen to my tape. That's what keeps me grounded. Maybe because I'm doing the same thing, music - that's what gives me the most pleasure. The rush of being new and hot can fade - it will fade - but the music will always be there"...
