OPI Announces Collaboration with Multi-Platinum Selling International Superstar Mariah Carey
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.
