Mariah Carey has signed with UTA in all areas, The Hollywood Reporter and Billboard have exclusively learned. She was previously at CAA. UTA will represent the Grammy winner across all areas, including music, touring, film, television, digital, licensing and endorsements.
Carey is currently maintaining a Las Vegas residency at The Colosseum at Caesars Palace, where #1 To Infinity began this May and will run beyond next February. In December she will return to New York City for a series of Christmas concerts before embarking on a European tour in the spring, which UTA will put together. It will be her first tour in that continent in 13 years.
"Mariah is one of the greatest artists of this or any generation," UTA chairman Jim Berkus said in a statement. "She is a true multi-talent, and we're thrilled to help her continue to push every creative boundary."
Carey has sold more than 200 million albums worldwide and won five Grammy Awards, starting with best new artist and best pop vocal performance, female in 1990. The latter was for her breakout single "Vision of Love", and through 2008's "Touch My Body", the legendary songstress has had 18 singles hit No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100, more than any solo artist ever.
In the fall, Carey is slated to direct a TV movie for Hallmark. As an actress, her screen credits include Precious and Lee Daniels' The Butler. She continues to be managed in all areas by Stella Bulochnikov of Wikked TV.
