Creative Artists Agency signs Mariah Carey
Creative Artists Agency (CAA), the world's leading talent and literary agency, has signed multi-platinum, Grammy Award-winning artist Mariah Carey for representation. Carey's extraordinary career success stands as a testament to her exceptional talent. With 15 #1 singles and two Grammy Awards, she is the only artist to top the charts every year of the 1990's, pushing ahead of The Beatles as the artist with the most cumulative weeks spent atop Billboard's Hot 100 Singles chart with "Heartbreaker". Her signature seven-octave range and her remarkable aptitude as a composer have driven her worldwide album and singles sales to well over 150 million records.
Carey has garnered several accolades throughout her career, some of which include two Grammy Awards, eight American Music Awards, Billboard's "Artist of the Decade" award and the World Music Award for "World's Best Selling Female Artist of the Millennium". She is currently working on her new album, a highly anticipated release under Island/Def Jam and MonarC, her own imprint, for later this year. A-list hit-makers and producers, including Kanye West, James Poyser, Swizz Beats, Scott Storch and R. Kelly, are contributing to this effort.
On the heels of receiving critical acclaim for her performance in Wisegirls, Carey is looking forward to pursuing additional acting opportunities. She is also working on an illustrated children's book that tells a meaningful story about a biracial orphan girl. Benny Medina at Handprint Entertainment is her manager. Her attorney is Don Passman at Gang, Tyre, Ramer & Brown, Inc.
