Celine Dion |
|
His/Her biography |
Celine Marie
Claudette Dion (Celine Dion) was born on March 30, 1968, in Charlemagne,
Quebec, Canada. The youngest of 14 children of Adhemar and Therese Dion, she
grew up in a close-knit musical family. Her parents formed a singing group,
Dion's Family, and they toured Canada when Dion was still an infant. They
later opened a piano bar, where the 5-year-old Dion would perform to the
delight of customers. At the age of 12, Dion recorded a demo tape of a song she had written with her mother. They sent the tape to the manager and producer Rene Angelil, who handled the career of popular French singer Ginette Reno. After hearing the tape and inviting Dion to perform for him in person, Angelil signed her immediately under the condition that he would have complete control over her career. He mortgaged his own home to finance her debut album, La Voix du bon Dieu. By 18, Dion had recorded nine French albums and won numerous Felix and Juno awards, the Canadian equivalent of a Grammy Award. In 1988, she won the Eurovision Song Contest in Dublin, Ireland, and her performance was broadcast live in countries throughout Europe, the Middle East, Australia and Japan. After this taste of international acclaim, she began looking to the south and American stardom. Dion recorded her first English-language album, Unison, in 1990. Like most of her English-language albums, it was a collaboration with the songwriter-arranger-musician David Foster. Driven by the Top 5 single "Where Does My Heart Beat Now," Unison sold more than one million copies worldwide. |
