Singer of Pop
A.k.a. Carrie Ann Inaba
American dancer, choreographer, television dance competition judge, actress, game show host, and singer. Born January 5, 1968. She is best known for her work on ABC TV's Dancing with the Stars. She started her career as a singer in Japan, but became best known for her dancing, first introducing herself to American audiences as one of the original Fly Girls on the sketch comedy series In Living Color. In 1986, an 18-year-old Inaba won a talent show in Hawaii. She was then groomed to be a pop star in Japan, given songs to read phonetically in Japanese from a lyric sheet. Even though her first single made the Top 50, she "realized it has nothing to do with how artistic you are. Your face becomes a logo they sell." Inaba, lived in Tokyo from 1986 to 1988 and was a popular singer. She released three singles, "Party Girl" (backed with "China Blue"), "Be Your Girl" (backed with "6½ Capezio"), and "Yume no Senaka" (backed with "Searching") and hosted weekly radio and television series.
