Mariah Carey (born March 27, 1969 or 1970) is an American singer, songwriter, actress, and record producer. Referred to as the "Songbird Supreme" by Guinness World Records, she is noted for her five-octave vocal range, melismatic singing style, and signature use of the whistle register.
She rose to fame in 1990 after signing to Columbia Records and releasing her eponymous debut album, which topped the U.S. Billboard 200 for eleven consecutive weeks. Soon after, Carey became the only artist ever to have their first five singles reach number one on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 chart, from "Vision of Love" to "Emotions".
Derek Jeter played an important part in Mariah Carey's marriage to Tommy Mottola. The 50-year-old pop star recently joined Oprah Winfrey for her Apple TV+ show "The Oprah Conversation" and opened up about meeting Jeter, which ultimately led to her divorce from Mottola.
Now 71, music executive Mottola was married to Carey from 1993 to 1998. While discussing the singer's forthcoming memoir, "The Meaning of Mariah Carey," Winfrey asked what "high purpose" Jeter, now 46, played in her life.
