Everything You Wanted to Know About R&B Singer-Songwriter Mariah the Scientist

Singer-songwriter Mariah the Scientist has one of the most fascinating stories in music at the moment, and we can't get enough of her melodic and profound tracks.

Mariah was actually a biology major, attending St. John's University on a scholarship, before dropping out to pursue her music career. We think this time, the leap of faith was definitely worth it. She's an incredible artist, and here's everything we learned about her as our latest Woman Crush Wednesday.
