Mariah Carey

Did you know Mariah Carey can sing across five octaves and hit tiny whistle notes that sound like sparkling bells? That amazing voice makes her songs feel magical to lots of people.

Mariah Carey is an American singer and songwriter born in 1969 who became a superstar in the 1990s. She is best known for her incredible vocal range, emotional pop and R&B songs, and for writing many of her own hits.

She began by singing and making demo tapes. A music executive heard her, she got a record deal, and her first album came out in 1990. The single 'Vision of Love' became a big hit and helped people notice her right away.

Her achievements are huge: Mariah has earned 19 number-one songs on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 and has sold more than 200 million records worldwide. She created the holiday classic 'All I Want for Christmas Is You,' which returns to the charts every year, and she has won many awards for her music.

Mariah changed how many singers use runs, power, and emotional storytelling in pop and R&B. Her music still brings people together—whether it's a big pop hit, a soft ballad like 'Hero,' or a joyful Christmas song. Give her a listen and you might hear one voice doing both big low notes and tiny whistle sounds in the same song!
