With a stunning seven-octave voice that she put through stratospheric gymnastics, Mariah Carey became an overnight star. Her vocal prowess and range drew comparisons to Minnie Riperton and Yma Sumac, but most often to her contemporary Whitney Houston. Yet unlike Houston, Carey cowrote or coproduced her own gospel-inflected, dance-pop songs and ardent ballads. These have found immense popularity: Carey is the best-selling female artist of all time, with more than 140 million albums and singles sold worldwide. She was the only artist to have scored a #1 hit in every year of the '90s, and (at this writing) has had more #1 hits for more weeks at #1 than any other artist in history. In October 1999 she surpassed the Beatles' long-running record of 59 weeks at #1.

Carey was born to a black Venezuelan aeronautics engineer father and an Irish-American opera singer mother who also worked as a voice coach. The couple divorced when Mariah was three, and she moved with her mother to successive towns in suburban Long Island, New York. At 17 she moved to New York City and pursued a career in music while supporting herself as the self-professed "world's worst waitress."

Carey befriended keyboardist Ben Margulies, with whom she began writing songs, and landed backup singing jobs. One, with minor late-'80s dance-music singer Brenda K. Starr, proved crucial when Starr met Columbia Records chief Tommy Mottola at a party and gave him a demo tape of Carey's songs. Mottola reportedly played the tape in his car on his way home, and doubled back to the party to seek out Carey. He signed her and made her career development a top priority. Carey's debut album (#4, 1990) yielded #1 hit singles in "Vision of Love" (1990), "Love Takes Time" (1990), "Someday" (1991), and "I Don't Wanna Cry" (1991), and brought her Grammy Awards in 1991 for Best New Artist and Best Female Vocalist. Emotions (#1, 1991) continued Carey's roll, with such hits as the title track (#1, 1991), "Can't Let Go" (#2, 1991), and "Make It Happen" (#5, 1992). Unplugged produced a hit cover of the Jackson 5's "I'll Be There" (#1, 1992), which also led to a solo recording deal for Trey Lorenz, the backup singer feaatured on the single with Carey.

In June 1993 Carey married Mottola, a man 20 years her senior. She then released Music Box (#1, 1993), which promptly yielded the #1 hits "Dreamlover" and "Hero." In fall 1993 she embarked on her first concert tour, for which she received mixed reviews. Her 1994 Christmas album spawned the hit "All I Want for Christmas Is You."

Carey achieved a milestone with the 1995 release of Daydream, which debuted at #1. The first single, "Fantasy," debuted at the top as well. With Daydream, Carey became the first female artist in history to have three albums that each sold more than 8 million copies. The second single, "One Sweet Day," a duet with the Philadelphia R&B vocal group Boyz II Men, also hit #1, holding the spot for a record-setting 16 weeks. A third single, "Always Be My Baby," followed suit, completing the hat trick.

Carey and Mottola divorced in 1997. She released Butterfly (#1, 1997), which asserted a stronger hip-hop flavor and yielded the #1 hits "Honey" (with rappers Ma$e and the Lox) and "My All." #1's collected Carey's 13 chart-topping singles, with four new tracks, including "When You Believe" (from The Prince of Egypt), a duet with Whitney Houston.

The 1999 release of the multiplatinum Rainbow (#2, 2000), which produced a #1 single in "Heartbreaker," capped a decade in which Carey was its biggest-selling female artist. Musically, the singer continued to embrace hip-hop elements, emphasizing samples and inviting such rap stars as Jay-Z, Missy Elliott, Da Brat, and Snoop Dogg to make guest vocal appearances. In early 2001 Carey signed a multi-record, multimillion-dollar deal with Virgin. It was announced her first Birgin release would be the soundtrack to the film All That Glitters, in which Carey played the lead.

Bought Marilyn Monroe's white lacquered baby grand piano at auction in October, 1999 for $600,000 plus commission.

Worked a variety of odd jobs to support herself, including hat/coat-checker, hostess, hair sweeper in hair salons, and waitress. She stated that she got fired from all her jobs because of her attitude and was concentrating of becoming a backing singer and mixing demos.

Made her singing debut, age 20. [1990]

Had the nickname "Mirage" in high school, because she never showed up for class.

Founder of Camp Mariah, a serene escape located in Fishkill, New York for inner-city youth to embrace the arts, introduce career opportunities, and build self-esteem.

Used to be a backup singer for Brenda Starr.

Her mother Patricia Hickey is a former mezzo-soprano New York City opera singer and a freelance vocal coach. Patricia was also Mariah's vocal coach. Her father Alfred Roy Carey was an aeronautical engineer.

Her highest note thus far was a G#7 (a few keys from the top of a piano) hit during two live performances of "Emotions" in 1991. Also, she has hit an A2 in her 1998 hit "My All," verifying her 5-octave range. Also, celebrity vocal coach Mark Baxter says that he has heard Mariah sing past the top note on the piano.

Mariah writes and co-writes as well as produces and co-produces her own songs, including all of her number one hits (with the exception of her cover of "I'll Be There").

Her godmother is Patti LaBelle.

Studied over 500 hours of beauty school and hair salon prior to becoming a singer.

The first presents that Mariah indulged herself, were a Ford Mustang convertible and an apartment with a stunning view in New York's Upper East Side on the 21st floor of a high-rise building. She decorated it with her idol's posters (Marilyn Monroe) and lived there with her two cats Ninja and Thompkins.

March 2003: The Guiness Book of World Records awarded her the record for the highest note hit by a human, after she hit the G7# note during a live performance of "The Star-Spangled Banner".

1998: Toured Australia and said the highlight of her trip was swimming with dolphins.

Failed her driver's license test three times.

In the mid 1990's, thanked her mother by buying her a house. She gathered her mother's possessions and put them in the new house, as well as framing photos and putting them on the wall. Then she pretended they were just looking at the house. Mariah says: "It was the most incredible thing I've ever been able to do".
