Mariah Carey was born on friday, March 27, 1970 in Long Island in New York to an interracial family of black Venezuelan engineer (Alfred Roy Carey) and Irish opera singer (Patricia Carey (Hickey)). Her family had been the subject of many hate crimes and her siblings were harassed many times because of the mixed composition of the family. Things took a turn for the worse, and when Mariah was three years old, her parents divorced. Since then, Mariah lived with her mother in Long Island, having to move around very frequently and living under difficult circumstances.

Mariah's musical talents were noticed at a very early time in her life. At age 2 1/2 she would surprise her mother by singing along her parts for her operas. By age 4, she started to receive voice lessons from her mother, and she kept on singing all along throughout her young days. Mariah credits her mother for being very supportive of her dreams to become a musician.

By her high school years, she was determined to be a singer. Every night, she would go out to Manhattan to meet some musicians and hang out with them all night, catching up sleep the next morning and missing her classes. Because she was absent from her classes very often, she earned the nickname of Mirage.
