A source told the tabloid that Mariah is drawing on her extensive experience to guide Monroe: “Mariah was cautious when Monroe said she wanted to be a musician, but she knows it’s what she wants and is fully supporting her. Monroe doesn’t want to rely on her mum’s contacts, but Mariah’s guidance has been invaluable. She’s got a brilliant voice, and if all goes to plan, it won’t be long before the world hears it.”
Speaking recently on The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon, Carey confirmed her daughter’s love of music, recalling how Monroe used to sing with her on her Christmas tour. When asked if Monroe might pursue a solo career, Mariah said: “I’m trying to get her to do her own thing. I think she wants to. So possibly.”

In 2023, she and Mariah collaborated in a TikTok video with North West and her mother Kim Kardashian, where the teenagers danced and mimed while the mothers playfully tried to join in. This early exposure demonstrates Monroe’s enthusiasm and hints at a promising future in the music world.
