Mariah Carey

Mariah Carey’s Multiethnic Upbringing

Who does not know about this incredible singer? She is a legend who gave numerous hit records like ‘One Sweet Day’, ‘Vision of Love’, ‘Love takes time’ and ‘All I Want For Christmas Is You’. After marrying Tommy Mottola(head of Sony Music), her albums ‘Day Dream’, ‘Merry Christmas’ and ‘Music Box’ made their marks among top selling ones. In the 90s, she had a tussle with media when they labeled Mariah as “white girl who can sing”. Mariah was grown with biracial traits by African Venezuelan father and Iris American mother. Carey mentioned her views talking to Latina, “Having Obama in office and bringing a child into the world at this point is totally different than me feeling like an outcast when I was growing up and not feeling like it was okay to be ethnically diverse.”
