Biography and Career :

Mariah Carey’s parents are Patricia Hickey (Irish-American) and Alfred Roy Carey (African-American / Venezuelan). As a multiethnic family, the Careys endured racial slurs, hostility, and sometimes violence, causing the family to frequently relocate throughout the New York and Rhode Island areas. The strain on the family led to the divorce of Mariah Carey’s parents when she was three years old.

Spending much of her time at home alone, she turned to music as an outlet. Mariah Carey began singing at around the age of three, performing for the first time in
public during elementary school, and was writing her own songs by junior high.
Mariah Carey graduated from Harborfields High School in Greenlawn, New York, although she was frequently absent due to her popularity as a demo singer for local recording studios. Her renown within the Long Island music scene gave her opportunities to work with musicians such as Gavin Christopher and Ben Margulies, with whom she co-wrote material for her demo tape. After moving to New York City, Mariah Carey worked numerous part-time jobs to pay the rent and completed five hundred hours of beauty school. Eventually, she became a backup singer for Brenda K. Starr.

In 1988 Mariah Carey met Columbia Records executive Tommy Mottola at a party, where Starr gave him Carey’s demo tape. Mottola played the tape while leaving the party and was very impressed with what he heard. He returned to the party to find Mariah Carey , but she had left. Nevertheless, Mottola tracked her down and signed her to a recording contract. This Cinderella-like story became part of the standard publicity surrounding Carey’s entrance into the industry

Mariah Carey attended Greenlawn’s Harborfields High School. In June of 1990 Mariah Carey made her debut with “Mariah Carey” which entered at 73, but on August 4 1990 it reached 1. Mariah Carey is the only artist since the Beatles and Elvis Presley to have so many 1 singles and albums. Along with numerous awards, she is the most successful selling female artist in music history and is the only female artist to have straight 1 singles and albums.

myspace lets users to share data

The world’s most popular social networking site MySpace is to allow users to make their information available to other websites.

Its “data availability” project will let members share public profile information with Yahoo, Twitter, eBay and Photobucket.

In the past sites like MySpace have locked users into their own site and jealously guarded member’s content.

“The walls around the garden are coming down,” says MySpace boss Chris DeWolfe.

The deal means that anyone with a MySpace profile can now share content with any web site. That includes things like photos, video, public profile information, friends’ lists and text.

MySpace claims their initiative “throws open the doors to traditionally closed networks by putting users in the driver’s seat of their data and web identity”.
