Mariah Carey

 Mariah Angela Carey was born to Patricia (Hickey), an Irish-American mezzo-soprano opera singer, and Alfred Roy Carey, an aeronautical engineer. They got divorced when Carey was only three.Her first public performance was at the age of six. By the age of sixteen, she was skipping classes to write songs and her brother, Morgan, paid for her first recording session. She finally graduated from Harborfields High School, in 1987. Before Carey got her big break, she worked as a temp and juggled with a number of odd jobs such as a beautician, hair sweeper in a salon, waitress and as a coat check girl. 



After several years of struggling, she had earned ample money and finally, she moved to a well-off sector in New York with her family. In 1988, Tommy Mottola, Head of Columbia Records, signed her and produced her debut, self-titled album, ‘Mariah Carey’, which contained four No.1 hits. These songs charted the top US music countdowns for weeks and even earned her a number of prestigious nominations and awards. Mariah Carey is regarded as one of the most prominent singers and songwriters of the 21st century. During a career spanning across 20 years, she has established her name as a vocal virtuoso, who has taken music to greater heights. This songbird possesses a five-octave vocal range and she has the ability to hit notes even beyond the 7th octave, which can even shatter glass.
 
 
Her use of melisma and the whistle range have continued to awe and inspire artists since the last two decades. Her body of work includes song writing, singing, and production, not to mention the introduction of new sounds with each album. Her music styles range from Motown soul to R&B to Hip Hop and Pop and she can easily glide from a soulful ballad to hip-hop songs with elan. Although, this star had a troubled childhood, suffered emotional breakdowns but, she stood the test of time and emerged successful. Worldwide sales of her dozen studio albums have managed to surpass the 200 million mark, making her one of the most successful recording artists of all time. The passion for music in this immensely talented star is so visible in each of her performances that audiences from across the world respond with unbridled enthusiasm to her singing. Mariah has also been involved in multiple relationships, her first marriage was with Mottola, whom she divorced in 1998, and went on to date Luis Miguel, a Latin singer for three years. 
 
 
After dating Luis, she then married actor-rapper Nick Cannon in a secret ceremony in Bahamas in 2008, and the couple is now expecting twins. Nick even appeared in Mariah’s music video Bye Bye.
 
 
Mariah also got a philanthropic side as well, she is an active fundraiser for The Fresh Air Fund, an organization that provide free summer holidays to more than 1.6 million underprivileged children of New York City since 1877, she also support Make-A-Wish Foundation, New York Presbyterian Hospital and the World Hunger Relief Movement.
 
 
 The charismatic Mariah Carey owns a several luxurious cars that suit her style and beauty, a custom black Rolls Royce Phantom Drophead Coupe, a less formal interpretation of classic Rolls Royce. Her Maybach 62 is the car for people who have an eye for something special and luxurious. It seems like Maybach 62 have hit the right note for multi-octave songstress Mariah Carey, as she loves to travel in her super luxurious ride. She also owns bulbous Porche Cayenne SUV as her special 40th birthday present, and it’s definitely hard to believe that the charismatic beauty has turned 40. Mariah who loves pink must have appreciated her husband’s concern for the color, this Porche Cayenne SUV is custom-made hot pink, and even the rims of the car are pink centered with a black lip. she also has Rolls Royce Phantom, a generous Christmas gift by Nick with its license plates reading “Mommy MC”. Designed by Ian Cameron and not but not the least she received a black colored Mercedes SLK as birthday gift from her husband Nick Cannon.
 
 
Mariah follows in the footsteps of supermodels Elle Macpherson, Eva Herzigova and Naomi Campbell who have also been faces for Pinko. The new campaign, which will be featured in 750 stores worldwide, was shot by renowned photographer Michelangelo Di Battista.
