The biography of Mariah Carey covers her life, from her broken bi-racial home, through to her discovery by Tommy Mottola (whom she later married), and her successful album "Music Box", released in 1993. Carey had a five-octave range and tried through her teenage years to be noticed. Her debut album in 1990 sold over seven million copies in the US alone and remained at number one for 22 weeks, earning her five Grammy nominations.
