Biography
Celine Dion was born into a large French-Canadian
family in 1968, the youngest of fourteen children. Sharing the musical
ability evident throughout her family, Celine began singing at the young
age of 5 and recorded her first demo by age 12. Little did Dion realize
that the man who first heard this demo, Rene Angelil, would someday become
her husband.
In 1982 Dion won her first international honor
with the song Tellement Jai Damour Pour Toi" and
soon became a star in her native Quebec. Despite this local stardom, and
eventual success in France and Switzerland, it would take years before
the coveted U.S. market took notice of Dion.
Celine Dion finally inked a record contract with
Sony in 1986 after expanding her musical ability by learning English.
The release of the English Unison in 1990 would be the key to her American
success. (If There Was) Any Other Way" and Where Does
My Heart Beat Now" were two of the four Top 10 singles from the platinum
selling album which earned Dion two Juno Awards and increased her visibility
in the United States.
Dion certified her celebrity status with a strong
vocal number from the Disney animated film Beauty and the Beast, which
won her an Academy Award for Song Of The Year". The same song
pushed sales from her second English language album, Celine Dion sky-high
and garnered Dion a massive extension of her Juno collection
