*“Walk in the will of God,” said singer/songwriter Mariah. about her music career. “Each moment has been…for my next season.”

Mariah is named after her great-grandmother who was also a singer.

“It runs in my DNA. She was born in 1906,” she told me when I asked about why her name is “Mariah.” with a period at the end, because spell check don’t like that every time I type her name!

In continuing her explanation, she said, “Because it’s the end of a statement  ‘I am Mariah.’ I am my great-grandmother’s dream. It was her name and my mother’s dad’s sister’s name.”

Mariah. has had her music videos run on BET Soul. The music video playing on BET Soul now is for her new single “Maybe” (University Park Records). The music video is directed by Mike Gardner and recorded live. It is written by Mariah. and produced by Mike and Sarah Gardner.

She recently signed with University Park Records and when I asked about such a blessed record deal, she said, “The label has prepared me…to be unapologetically me.”

When I asked where the single “Maybe” came from Mariah. said, “I met Mike Gardner, and we ended up putting our heads together. I used to be described as a Ballad type singer… now I know my sound.”

The music video to her previous single “Bizness,” which had a world premiere on BET Soul, was co-director by her.  Mariah. secured her first Billboard Chart Top 30 R&B with the single “Material Girl.” As you can see, she is making moves.

“I want to be wherever God wants me to be,” she said when I asked what she wants from her career in music. “I want to be able to touch people…live a learned experience.”
