• "A lot of people are singing about how screwed up the world is, and I don't think that everybody wants to hear about that all the time." - Mariah Carey

• Mariah Carey was born on March 27, 1970, in New York. Mariah translates as the "the wind" in Native American language. Mariah's beauty is a product of her heritage of an African-Venezuelan father and American-Irish mother. Mariah's pop success has both resulted in admiration and disdain. Although the pop world continues to admonish her music, many critics and music lovers find her music uncreative and simple. Mariah's image and personality has also been critiqued as aloof. With a talent for pop ballads and a multi-octave voice range, Mariah has dominated the pop charts for much of the 90s. Mariah began singing from the age of 2 and began voice lessons by age 4. Faced with the insecurities of racial intolerance, and a broken marriage (Mariah's parents divorced and she was raised by her mother), Mariah turned to her singing for happiness. In 1994, Mariah reflected: "I guess when you're part Irish and part Venezuelan, you're not completely connected to any one thing, you grow up like that in a suburban neighborhood with rich kids, you're not popular because you're different. And I never had any financial security. I dreamed of possessing things. Lucky for me I had my music to hold on to as a goal. It was like, these people may not think I'm as good as them, but I can sing!" Mariah credits her early influences as Stevie Wonder, Aretha Franklin, Billie Holiday, Sarah Vaughan, and Gladys Knight. She credits these influences for her R&B sound, although many would disagree that her sound is more R&B than pop. Her talent for singing and confidence for super-stardom eventually combined for Mariah barely out of her teenage years. Although Mariah's career has been in constant overdrive, she has taken time to work with charities, most notably the Fresh Air Fund. The organization gives underprivileged children from inner cities a chance to visit camps in the wilderness. Mariah's help with organization resulted in a fifth camp opened in 1994 called "Camp Mariah." Mariah has also been involved with AmFAR, the United Negro College Fund, and other organizations that work with issues such as child care, animal care, and cancer research.

• Just after graduating from high school, Mariah moved to New York City to pursue a singing career. She worked odd jobs as a coat check girl and waitress, went to beauty school, and worked on demos and focused on getting a record deal. Mariah eventually landed a job as backup singer to Brenda K. Starr. "I really didn't want to do it, but then I thought, 'Well, it's got be better than doing what I'm doing now!'"

• At a party with Starr, Mariah gave her demo tape to a record company head that made it to the president of Columbia Records, Tommy Mottola. The demo contained the tracks "Someday," "Prisoner," "All Alone In Love," All In Your Mind," and the unreleased, "Do You Ever Wonder." After listening to 2 songs, Mottola found what he was looking for - the next Whitney Houston. Within a month, Mariah singed with Columbia Records.
