CELINE DION
BIOGRAPHY
As the youngest of 14 children in a working-class family in Quebec, Celine Dion should have been lucky just to get her hands on the leftover bread and cheese, much less on a piano. But in her household, in the small village of Charlemagne, east of Montreal, two things were beloved: children and music. (Celine was named for a song her mother was singing while she was pregnant.) Her parents operated a small restaurant and club where the children could showcase their musical talents, led by their father's accordion and mother's violin, and Celine first stretched her vocal chords there at age 5. By the time she was 12, Celine had composed a song, "Ce N'etait Qu'un Rêve" ("It Was Only a Dream"), and with the help of her mother and a brother, she recorded a demo of the song, which she then sent off to an address they found on an album of Ginette Reno, a popular French singer. The address was that of Rene Angelil, who summoned Celine to his office that same day. When he heard her sing live, he cried. He was her first conquest, but there would be millions more. The making of a diva was under way. Dion's rise from teenage nightclub singer to saccharine siren of the masses (an astonishing percentage of her songs contain the word "love" or "amour" in the title), has been dogged and steady, but not without difficulties. Record companies, it turned out, were less enamored of investing in a preteen than Angelil was. But Angelil was so rapt by Dion that he mortgaged his own home to pay for her debut — a risk that was quickly rewarded when her first two albums, La Voix du bon Dieu (The Voice of God) and Celine Chante Noel (Celine Sings Christmas) made her a teen sensation and earned her the endearing nickname "la p'tite Quebecoise." Dion's early years also brought a string of awards, including a gold medal at the Yamaha World Song Festival in Tokyo. By 1983, still in her tender teens, Dion became the first Canadian ever to have a gold record in France. ...More |
