FULL BIOGRAPHY OF MARIAH CAREY
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, she earned frequent comparison to
rivals Whitney Houston and Celine Dion, but
did them both one better by composing all of
her own material.
Born in Long Island, NY, on March 27, 1970,
Carey moved to New York City at the age of
17 -- just one day after graduating high
school -- to pursue a music career; there
she befriended keyboardist Ben Margulies,
with whom she began writing songs. Her big
break came as a backing vocalist on a studio
session with dance-pop singer Brenda K.
Starr, who handed Carey's demo tape to
Columbia Records head Tommy Mottola at a
party.
After signing to Columbia, Carey entered the
studio to begin work on her 1990 self-titled
debut LP; the heavily promoted album was a
chart-topping smash, launching no less than
four number one singles: "Vision of Love,"
"Love Takes Time," "Someday," and "I Don't
Wanna Cry." Her overnight success earned
Grammy awards as Best New Artist and Best
Female Vocalist, and expectations were high
for Carey's 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. Carey's 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.
In June 1993, Carey wed Mottola -- some two
decades her senior -- in a headline-grabbing
ceremony; months later she released her
third full-length effort, Music Box, her
best-selling record to date. Two more
singles, "Dreamlover" and "Hero," reached
the top spot on the charts. Carey's first
tour followed and was widely panned by
critics; undaunted, she resurfaced in 1994
with a holiday release titled Merry
Christmas, scoring a seasonal smash with
"All I Want for Christmas Is You." 1995's
Daydream reflected a new artistic maturity;
the first single, "Fantasy," debuted at
number one, making Carey the first female
artist and just the second performer ever to
accomplish the feat. The follow-up, "One
Sweet Day" -- a collaboration with Boyz II
Men -- repeated the trick, and remained
lodged at the top of the charts for a record
16 weeks.
However, the 2000s weren't as kind to Carey.
After signing an 80-million-dollar deal with
Virgin -- the biggest record contract ever
-- in 2001 she experienced a very public
personal and professional meltdown that
included rambling, suicidal messages on her
website; an appearance on TRL where, clad
only in a T-shirt, she handed out Popsicles
to the audience; and last but not least, the
poorly received movie Glitter and its
attendant soundtrack (which was also her
Virgin Records debut).
