LOS
ANGELES – August 10, 2012 – OPI Products Inc. announced a collaboration
today with multiple Grammy Award winning and multi-platinum selling recording
artist Mariah Carey. A five-time Grammy Award winning global superstar
with over 200 million records sold worldwide and 18 Billboard No. 1 singles
(more than any solo artist in history), Carey will be the inspiration
for a line of OPI limited edition nail lacquers that will launch January
2013.
“OPI
is thrilled to work with Mariah, an industry icon who loves nails
and considers lacquer one of her favorite accessories,” says Suzi
Weiss-Fischmann, OPI Executive VP & Artistic Director. “With her
magnetic personality both on and off the stage, Mariah serves as a great
inspiration for beautiful, bold colors.”
About Mariah Carey:
With a distinct
five-octave vocal range, prolific songwriting and producing talent, Carey has
defined the modern pop performance. As a singer/songwriter/producer, she has
been recognized with five Grammy Awards, nine American Music Awards,
Billboard’s “Artist of the Decade” Award, the World Music Award for “World’s
Best Selling Female Artist of the Millennium,” and BMI’s “Icon Award” to name a
few. Mariah has written seventeen out of her eighteen Billboard No. 1 singles
and has two consecutive and unparalleled Billboard “Song of the Decade” titles
“One Sweet Day” (with Boyz II Men) and “We Belong Together,” further marking
her massive presence on the charts since her 1990 song debut “Vision of Love.”
Mariah became the second artist in history and the first female performer to
have a song debut at No. 1 with “Fantasy” (1995), the groundbreaking
collaboration with O.D.B. of the innovative rap group Wu-Tang Clan. Carey’s
original holiday classic “All I Want For Christmas is You” redefined its place
in pop culture as one of the greatest holiday hits of all time when it reached
No. 1 on the Billboard charts in 2011, seventeen years after its debut.
Mariah’s influential and stellar contribution to the music industry spans
multiple genres and is showcased through a multifaceted hit catalogue as well
as a long list of diverse collaborations.
Carey's ongoing
impact transcends the music industry and has left an indelible imprint upon the
world at large. She recently made a substantial mark in film with her
critically acclaimed role as a social worker in “Precious,” the 2009 film based
on the novel “Push,” by Sapphire. A Congressional Award recipient, Carey
has generously donated her time and energy to a range of domestic and
international philanthropic causes near to her heart including The Fresh Air
Fund/Camp Mariah (a retreat where inner-city children explore career
development), Save the Music Foundation and Make-a-Wish Foundation among
several others.
Mariah is currently in the studio, writing,
recording and executive-producing her next album for Island Def Jam Music
Group; the lead single "Triumphant (Get ‘Em)," is now available on
iTunes. Recently Carey made worldwide headlines with the exciting news that she
will join the judges’ panel of FOX’s American Idol when the series returns in
2013.
