Mariah Carey has been pursuing her music career since the day she finished high school. She left for New York City the day after she graduated to make her name as a musician and met Ben Margulies, a keyboardist who would become her writing partner. Landing a deal with Columbia was as easy as getting Tommy Mottola to listen to her demo and soon after Mariah Carey released her first LP, which rendered her four hit singles in 'Vision of Love,' 'Love Takes Time,' 'I Don't Wanna Cry' and 'Someday.' Almost immediately, Mariah Carey was winning Grammy Awards for Best New Artist and Best Female Vocalist.

In 1991 Mariah Carey released Emotions, which included the top-five singles 'Can't Let Go' and 'Make It Happen.' Her third album, Music Box, her best selling album to date, features the singles 'Dreamlover' and 'Hero.' Her ability to write and compose for herself set Mariah Carey apart from many in her musical genre. As her music turned more to the hip-hop vein, Mariah released Butterfly in 1997. Since then her music has been very dance pop and hip-hop. Her ninth album. The Emancipation of Mimi, is a great example of her sexy, energetic appeal and is one of those albums that make you crave a Mariah Carey concert to see the songs sung and played in a live atmosphere.
