Mariah Carey's mother was an Opera singer who taught Mariah how to sing.
When Mariah was 16 she got a job as a background singer on the song "I Still Believe" by Brenda K Starr. It was a minor hit in the 1980's.
Brenda K Starr thought that Mariah Carey was very talented and could easily be a solo act so Starr took Carey to a Sony Music party and introduced Carey to Sony Music President Tommy Mollata. They gave him a demo tape. On his drive home Mollata played Mariah Carey's demo tape and was so impressed that he drove back to the party to look for her. She had already left but he found her name and number from other people at the party.
Mollata signed Carey to a record deal. Her first album had the hits "Love Takes Time", "Someday", "Vision Of Love", and "I Dont Wanna Cry". They divorced a few years ago.
On her Greatest Hits Album Mariah Carey re-recorded "I Still Believe" in honor of Brenda K Starr (and Mariah had a minor hit with her verison)
