Céline Dion is a Canadian-born international megastar. She gave her first live performance when she was merely five years old, and her professional career started at the age of 12 when Canadian music manager and former pop singer, René Angélil, eagerly took her on an personal protégé after hearing her sing. It has even been reported that hearing Céline's striking young voice brought tears to his eyes, and whether or not this is true, it is certain that he was very powerfully moved by what he heard.
Under René Angélil's guidance, Céline Dion made eight albums in French before her first English album, Unison, in 1990. She had achieved remarkable success in Quebec and even in France before that, and since the English-speaking world heard her sing she has been virtually unstoppable. Since her first French album in 1981, La voix du bon Dieu, she has released an additional 11 original French-language albums, 10 English albums, 3 holiday albums, and a host of anthologies and compilation albums. In the last decade she grossed over $100 million per year.
This is a short, but compelling biography of rise to fame and fortune about Céline Dion.
