• Mariah Carey was born in Huntington, New York, on March 27, 1969. She is the third child of Patricia Hickey, an opera singer and vocal coach of Irish descent, and Alfred Roy Carey, an aeronautical engineer, the son of an African-American mother. American with a Venezuelan immigrant. Her first name was derived from the song "They Call the Wind Maria", originally the theme of the 1951 Broadway musical Paint Your Wagon, while her surname was adopted by her Venezuelan grandfather Francisco Núñez after he emigrated to New York. Patricia's family disowned her for marrying a black man. As a multi-racial family, racial tensions prevented the Careys from integrating into the community. While living in Huntington, neighbors poisoned the family dog and set their car on fire. After her parents divorced, Carey had little contact with Alfred, and her mother had to work multiple jobs to support her and her siblings. At the age of five, Carey was already correcting her mother when she sang wrong notes. Patricia then realized that her daughter had an absolute musical ear, something rare for a child of that age. Spent a lot of time at home alone, Carey would listen to music to pass the time and always imitate the high notes she heard from her mother. She began writing poetry and lyrics while attending Harborfields High School in Greenlawn, New York, from which she graduated in 1987. Although she introduced her daughter to classical opera, Patricia never pressured her to pursue a career in it; Carey noted that Patricia "has never been a pushy mother. She never said, 'Give [her singing] more of an operatic feel." I have a lot of respect for opera, but it never influenced me." While on Long Island she had the opportunity to work with musicians like Gavin Christopher and Ben Margulies, with whom she co-wrote material for her demo tape. Willing to pursue a recording contract , Carey moved to New York City, where she lived with two other friends in a small rented apartment. During this period, she worked as a waitress and assistant at a beauty salon. After auditioning, she joined as a backing vocalist for singer Brenda K. Starr.
