Mariah Carey Tickets

The American music industry has a knack for creating legendary singers. From Whitney Houston to Aretha Franklin, the musicians and singers put their heart and soul into their music. None of the modern manufactured singers have the ability or presence to carve their careers into legendary ones like the legends of the older days. Most of these celebrated singers had a complete understanding of music and wrote their songs themselves, which is the only way to convey some real feeling when you sing. Out of some of the legends still living and amongst us today on of the shining stars is the singer/songwriter Mariah Carey.

Carey was born in the state of Long Island in the city of Huntington to and Irish American mother and Afro Venezuelan father on the 27th of March, 1970. Her parents had split up when she was just three years old and her mother, who was a vocal coach and singer, had to work numerous jobs to keep the house running. Her mother was the inspiration that led the little girl to start spending all that time alone by practicing singing. She is said to have started singing when she was just three and used to watch her mother practice singing at home. This interest into music continued and increased as Carey grew up and she was soon singing backup vocals for different smalltime acts while she attended school in her hometown. This is also where Carey wrote and recorded her demo tape. She later moved to New York and attended beauty school and worked as a backup singer for Brenda K Starr. In 1988, Starr gave her demo tape to popular producer Tommy Mottola, who instantly signed her to his Columbia Record label when he heard her voice and amazing singing range.

Carey's first album 'Mariah Carey' was written by her and the record company brought in the best producers they could to make sure the album was commercially viable. This, in addition to the massive publicity of the album led to it being a breakthrough success for Carey. It is one of the most successful debut albums in music history and spawned a record breaking 4 number one singles. The album sold a whopping 9 million records in the States alone while the reported worldwide sales figure was 15 million. This kind of success opened many avenues for Mariah and her second album, 'Emotions' also spawned a number one single making her the only solo artist to every have their first five singles go to number one.
