A Scottish singer, who is the spitting image of Mariah Carey, reveals how strangers stopped her in the street, in awe of her resemblance to the popstar.

Jass Meagher, 33, from Edinburgh in Scotland, developed a passion for singing and song-writing in school.

She had been a fan of the America pop diva since she was a child and began performing locally on stage before she was approached by agents asking her to imitate her on stage.

The talented singer is now a Mariah tribute act and can hit all the same high notes as the diva, having learned to sing as a child by listening to the star’s Daydream album in her bedroom.

Jass Mea gher, 33, from Edinburgh in Scotland, is Mariah Carey’s double, with strangers stopping her in the street, in awe of her resemblance to the popstar.

She had been a fan of the America pop diva since a child and began performing locally on stage before she was approached by agents asking her to imitate her on stage.

Her new found fame has also led her to perform with 90s Christmas classic band East 17 and being recognised by VH1 music for her cover of My All.

Jass began learning to sing when listening to Mariah’s Daydream album in her bedroom. She later trained in music and voice in London and developed her song-writing, singing, performance and music skills.

‘I was told I looked naturally like Mariah Carey before I even became a singer, when I first moved to London at the age of eleven,’ Jass said.

‘When people hear that I am also a singer, it makes them very intrigued to come to a live show or listen to me online.

‘I am constantly being asked by fans to sing happy birthday to them as Mariah on Instagram. This happens all the time even when I am singing other material or just shopping.

Two divas: Jass (right) looks the spitting image of her idol Mariah Carey and loves performing her songs on stage.

‘Agents began approaching me and asked if I could perform a tribute to other top artists – that’s when I began being booked with my tributes to Leona Lewis and Mariah Carey. My first show was for Gala Casinos, UK,’ she said.

‘Comparisons are natural to people, it’s a form of recognition. We can be unique yet similar to those who inspire us.

‘I think learning from others and having this recognised is a good thing. I am never ashamed or secretive about my influences or the impact Mariah has had on me and my work.

‘We are both very versatile vocally and sing everything from Jazz to hip-hop. I’ve been told whilst I was singing the high notes as Mariah that I sound like I’m using operatic technique.’

Her new found fame has also led her to perform with 90’s Christmas classic band East 17.

‘I think Mariah is the best pop singer on the planet, I don’t think she gets enough credit for her song-writing and creative abilities.

‘I feel people focus too much on her physical appearance, and enhancements, rather than appreciating her vocal ability and eighteen number one hits.

‘I have had comments that I look so much like Mariah, only smaller and why don’t I get a boob job. However, younger Mariah looked a lot more like me physically, as she was thinner and had a smaller bust as well as curly mixed-race dark hair.’

Despite appreciating the comparison, Jass says that she is not a ‘fame-chaser’ and is fully focused on her goal of becoming a published singer-songwriter.

‘My likeness to Mariah has helped with my Mariah Carey Tribute to give the impression of the real Mariah up on stage.

‘It makes the experience for the audience more entertaining and authentic. However, I am myself, other than on stage.

‘It is an honour to be able to perform as tribute to some of biggest female superstars in the world, and I am grateful for all the support I have received so far,’ Jass says.

‘Sometimes it can be challenging to be a tribute as some have the opinion that I’m the same person as Mariah, with all the same luxuries in life or the same personality – but I am totally different.

‘I am not very “Hollywood” in person, I don’t believe appearance is as important as who you are inside and, of course your talent, and what you have to say.
