Mariah the Scientist

Mariah the Scientist is Mariah Angeliq Cannon, who grew up in the suburbs of Dallas, Texas. She started writing songs early, drawing from R&B influences like Lauryn Hill and Destiny's Child. Her music blends R&B with hip-hop and neo-soul elements, a sound that took shape from those beginnings.

In 2017, she released her debut EP 'The Intermission,' which caught attention for its emotional rawness. A few years later, 'Spread Thin' became her breakout track, pulling in millions of streams and marking a turning point. She followed with EPs like 'Ry Ry World' in 2019 and 'Buckles Laboratories' in 2021, and her debut album 'Ry Ry World' landed at number one on the Billboard R&B Albums chart in 2023.

Her songs often feature collaborations with other artists, like 'Always N Forever' with Lil Baby and 'Walked In' with Young Thug. Tracks such as 'Beetlejuice' and '2 You' round out her catalog, showing her range within a moody, introspective R&B lane.
