Predetermined to be a multiracial family, the Carey menage were faced with racial insult, hostility and even violence, with crosses being burnt on their lawn, their dogs poisoned, their car blown up, and a shot fired through the kitchen window during mealtime.

In addition, Carey's mother Patricia also faced many racism in the early 1960s, during which she was disowned by her family when she married Alfred Roy Carey.

The horrific experience had caused the whole family to move often around New York area to find more friendly neighborhoods.

Mariah Carey began singing when she was three and it happened by accident that her mother realized early on her tremendous potential.
Her mother was a mezzo-soprano New York City opera singer and a freelance vocal coach; whereas, her father was an aeronautical engineer.
Carey, third and youngest, has siblings Alison and Morgan, who were significantly older by ten years.

Existing away from her father and having little contact with him were too much for such a little girl like Carey but life had to go on somehow
