American singer, songwriter, actress, and record producer Mariah Carey was born on March 27, 1969. She is known as the “Songbird Supreme” and is respected for her songwriting, five-octave vocal range, melismatic singing style, and distinctive usage of the whistle register.
She has also been referred to as the “Queen of Christmas” for her holiday music’s ongoing appeal, particularly the 1994 holiday song “All I Want for Christmas Is You.” With the release of her self-titled album in 1990, Carey became well-known. She was the first artist to have her first five singles, including “Vision of Love” and “Emotions,” all peak at number one on the Billboard Hot 100.
Mariah Carey parents: Meet Alfred Roy Carey, Patricia Carey
Mariah Carey, an Irish-born former opera singer and voice coach, is the youngest of Patricia Carey’s three children. Alfred Roy Carey is an African-American and black Venezuelan-American aeronautical engineer.
Francisco Nez, a native of Venezuela, adopted the last name Carey after moving to New York. Patricia’s family disowned her because she married a black man.
After her parents got divorced, Carey’s mother worked many jobs to maintain the family, and she had minimal contact with her father. At age three, Carey began singing, and she spent a lot of time by herself at home. Alison, Mariah’s older sister, moved in with their father while their older brother Morgan continued to live with their mother.
