Mariah the Scientist quizzes

Before pursuing music full-time, Mariah was a biology major at St. John’s University, originally planning to become an anesthesiologist. During her studies she kept writing and recording on the side, eventually realizing music was where she felt the strongest creative pull, which led her to leave school and focus on her career.

Mariah has a signature writing style that blends vulnerability with experimentation. She often uses scientific or futuristic motifs—true to her background—to frame themes like heartbreak, autonomy, and self-reflection. This unique mix sets her apart from many R&B contemporaries.
