Referred to as the "Songbird Supreme" by the Guinness World Records, Mariah Carey is noted for her five-octave vocal range, melismatic singing style, and signature use of the whistle register.
She stunned her mother by imitating her operatic singing as early as age two, and was given singing lessons starting at age four. Eventually, Carey would develop a voice that spanned five octaves.
When she was 18 years old, Carey and her friend, singer Brenda K. Starr, went to a party hosted by CBS Records. Starr convinced Carey to bring along one of her demo tapes. She intended to give the tape to Columbia's Jerry Greenberg, but Tommy Mottola, the president of Columbia Records (later Sony), intercepted it before she could hand it to Greenberg. After listening to the tape on the way home from the party, Mottola signed Carey immediately and set her to work on her first album, Mariah Carey (1990).
One of the most commercially successful artists of all time, Carey produced 19 No#1 hits and sold more than 200 million records. The link below is likely the number 1 song of this Christmas!
