Mariah Carey, who first performed at the AMAs in 1991 for a rendition of her dance-pop hit "Someday," will make her world television debut of "With You," the first single from her new album, returning to the AMA stage for the first time since 2008. Joined by multiplatinum artists and AMAs performance veterans Halsey and Khalid, benny blanco will take the American Music Awards stage for the very first time to perform their nostalgic love song, "Eastside," which is already in the Top 40 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart and Pop Songs Airplay charts with more than 300 million streams to date.

Mariah Carey is the best-selling female artist of all time with more than 200 million albums sold to date and 18 Billboard Hot 100 No. 1 singles (17 self-penned), more than any solo artist in history. Mariah is a singer/song­writer/producer recognized with multiple GRAMMY® Awards, numerous American Music Awards, Billboard's Artist of the Decade Award, the World Music Award for World's Best Selling Female Artist of the Millennium and BMI's Icon Award for her outstanding achievements in songwriting, to name a few – with her distinct five-octave vocal range, prolific songwriting and producing talent, Mariah is truly the template of the modern pop performance. Mariah's ongoing impact has transcended the music industry to leave an indelible imprint upon the world at large. She made her entry into the world of independent film with her landmark performance in "WiseGirls," starring alongside Academy Award® winner Mira Sorvino and Melora Walters. In 2009, Mariah was recognized with the Breakthrough Performance Award at the Palm Spring International Film Festival for her critically acclaimed role in Lee Daniels' "Precious." Mariah went on to appear in Daniels' stellar ensemble piece "The Butler" (2013). A Congressional Award recipient, Mariah has generously donated her time and energy to a range of philanthropic causes near to her heart, including Save the Music, the Make-A-Wish Foundation, World Hunger Relief and the Elton John AIDS Foundation, among many others. A tremendous supporter of children's charities, both domestic and international, Mariah founded Camp Mariah in partnership with the Fresh Air Fund, a retreat for inner city children to explore career development.

Benjamin Levin, known professionally as benny blanco, is a GRAMMY-winning American record producer, songwriter, multi-instrumentalist and recipient of the 2013 Hal David Starlight Award from the Songwriters Hall of Fame. He is also a five-time BMI Songwriter of the Year award winner and 2017 iHeartRadio Producer of the Year award winner. As a producer and songwriter, blanco is responsible for more than 100 million album sales worldwide due to his work with artists including Ed Sheeran, Justin Bieber, Maroon 5, Rihanna, Katy Perry, Kesha, Sia, The Weeknd, Selena Gomez, Wiz Khalifa and Kanye West, among others. He is also the founder of two labels in collaboration with Interscope Records, Mad Love Records and Friends Keep Secrets. In 2016, his work was nominated for a Golden Globe® Award in the category Best Original Song for "Faith" (Stevie Wonder featuring Ariana Grande). In July 2018, blanco released the song "Eastside" under his own name, a collaboration with Halsey and Khalid, which is climbing Top 40 radio charts in the U.S. and is No. 1 in the U.K.

GRAMMY Award-nominated multiplatinum alternative pop maverick Halsey claimed the No. 1 spot on the Billboard 200 with her second release, "hopeless fountain kingdom," an album Rolling Stone called "bold" in a four-star review, claiming that "Halsey could go anywhere from here." Indeed, since storming on the music scene in 2015, she has garnered over 7 billion streams globally and nearly 6 million global sales, graced the covers of magazines from Nylon to Billboard to Forbes, among others – a far cry from the New Jersey teen who'd escaped her suburban existence for New York, writing poetry, and scrounging money for concerts and her next slice of pizza. Halsey shows no signs of slowing down. This summer she joined benny blanco and Khalid for the song "Eastside," which has garnered 300 million streams worldwide in just 2 months. The track was the follow-up to the platinum-certified smash with G-Eazy "Him & I," which reached No. 1 on Billboard's Pop Songs airplay chart and No. 1 at Top 40 radio – marking her second No. 1 since accompanying The Chainsmokers on "Closer," which dominated for 11 weeks and has been certified diamond by the RIAA. "Him & I" has accrued over 750 million streams worldwide and been certified platinum in several countries. In addition, her own two double-platinum-certified singles, "Bad At Love" and "Now Or Never," also peaked in the Top 3 on the Pop Songs chart. In addition, Halsey pushes creative boundaries expanding her influence and impact beyond music. Earlier this year, Halsey spoke at the 2018 women's march advocating for equality. Her speech has been viewed millions of times and has moved people from around the world. As her star continues to rise, Halsey uses her voice to speak up for causes she passionately believes in, including disenfranchised youth, women's rights, mental health and the LGBTQ community, proving that both she and her music can affect meaningful change, and that, yes, the 23-year-old can go anywhere from here.

Five-time GRAMMY-nominated artist Khalid has seen great success since he released his first single "Location" right before his high school graduation. The song's domination led to Khalid's major label deal with Right Hand Music Group/RCA Records followed by the release of his debut album "American Teen." The album received mass critical acclaim with Rolling Stone calling Khalid a "pop prodigy" and TIME Magazine stating, "His thoughtful, relatable reflections on modern youth culture and the limitations of love are just as pitch-perfect as his soulful, measured delivery." "American Teen" shattered expectations, spending more than 80 weeks on the Billboard 200 chart, peaking at No. 4, and has stayed in the Top 20 for more than 50 weeks. The singer-songwriter has over 1 billion streams worldwide across all partners, his first single "Location" is certified 4x platinum by the RIAA, his previous single "Young Dumb & Broke" is certified 3X platinum, and his album is now certified 2x platinum. Since the "American Teen"'s debut, Khalid has garnered five 2018 GRAMMY nominations, including Best New Artist and landed on the cover of Billboard's 2018 GRAMMY Preview issue. He won two 2018 Teen Choice Awards for Choice Breakout Artist and Choice R&B/Hip-Hop Song for "Love Lies." He was also nominated for 2017 BET Award for Best New Artist, a 2017 Teen Choice Award for Choice R&B/Hip-Hop Song for "Location," and a 2017 American Music Award for Favorite Song-Soul/R&B for "Location." Khalid also won Top New Artist at the 2018 Billboard Music Awards, Best New Artist at the 2017 MTV Video Music Awards and an MTV's Woodie To Watch Award. He has recently been nominated for four 2018 American Music Awards, including New Artist of the Year, Favorite Male Artist – Soul/R&B, Favorite Album – Soul R&B, and Favorite Song – Soul/R&B for "Young Dumb & Broke." In addition to "American Teen," Khalid has collaborated with some of music's biggest stars. He has been featured on a number of songs including megahits like Calvin Harris's "Rollin" with Future, "1-800-273-8255" with Logic and Alessia Cara, "Silence" with Marshmello, "Lovely" with Billie Eilish, "Youth" with Shawn Mendes, and many more. Khalid's current singles "Love Lies," a duet with Normani, and "OTW" featuring Ty Dolla $ign and 6lack are burning up the airwaves. "Love Lies" hit No. 1 on Billboard's Pop Songs airplay chart and "OTW" is No. 14 and climbing on the Rhythmic Airplay chart. Khalid just wrapped up his third sold-out North American headlining tour, and recently, the mayor and council of the city of El Paso honored him with a "Key to the City," marking September 13, 2018, "Khalid Day." While in his hometown, Khalid performed two sold-out arena shows and dropped a new track entitled "Better," dedicated to his fans and the city of El Paso.
