Mariah Carey will be honored by Genius at an upcoming Genius Level event, a live conversation series with icons of the music business, including influential artists, songwriters, producers, and executives.
The event will take place in Brooklyn on Wednesday, November 14, in conversation with veteran music journalist and Genius’ Head of Artist Relations, Rob Markman.
The latest Genius Level comes just days before the release of Carey’s 15th studio album, Caution, which is set to drop on Friday, November 16.
“People know Mariah Carey is a voice for the ages, but not as many people realize she’s also one of our greatest songwriters. Her work behind the scenes and on stage set a new bar for solo artists, and her collaborations with everyone from Walter Afanasieff to Jermaine Dupri broke new ground in music,” said Elizabeth Milch, Genius’s Director of Content.
“Mariah is responsible for lyrics, melodies, and arrangements that we love to sing… albeit not always in five octaves. She’s the pinnacle of a genius-level artist and we couldn’t be more excited to celebrate her artistic impact.”
Previous Genius Level honorees include DJ Premier, The-Dream, and Nicki Minaj.
