Mariah Angela Carey was born on March 27, 1970, in Huntington, New York. Her father is Alfred Roy Carey, an aeronautical engineer, her mother is Patricia Hickey, a former mezzo-soprano New York City opera singer and freelance vocal coach. Her parents divorced when she was three and Mariah continued to live with her mother.
At the age of six, she started showcasing her talent in front of the public. Mariah went to Oldfield Middle School where she began developing her love of music by writing songs. While attending Harborfields High School, Mariah was nicknamed Mirage because she never showed up for class. Having a dream to be a famous singer, she did not pay much attention to her studies. After she graduated in 1987, Mariah headed to New York to pursue a career in music.
During her early days in New York, Mariah met Tommy Mottola (Sony record executive producer), with whom she eventually married on June 5, 1993. In March 1998, however, she divorced him.
Off screen, Mariah Carey, whose favorite singers are Aretha Franklin and Stevie Wonder, is an Episcopalian, and a philanthropist who has donated a great deal of money to such charity organizations as The Make-A-Wish Foundation, the National Adoption Center, and the Fresh Air Fund.
Mariah Carey captured the attention of executive producer Tommy Mottola in 1988. Shortly after giving him her demo tape, Carey signed her first recording contract with Columbia Records and her door to the spotlight was opened.
In the year 1990, Carey's career began with the release of her self-titled debut album, Mariah Carey, which hit the music shelves in 1990. The lead single "Vision of Love" and three more hits, including "Love Takes Time," "Someday" and "I Don't Wanna Cry" topped the rating chart. Adding to her success, Carey won two Grammy Awards, one for Best Pop Vocal Performance (Female) and Best New Artist in 1990.
