Pop superstar Céline Dion was born in Charlemagne, Que., a rural town
located nearly 50 kilometres from Montréal. She is the youngest of 14
children. She began performing at the very young age of five with her
siblings at her parents' piano bar, entertaining the local area patrons
on weekends. When she was just 12 years old, Céline composed a song with
the aid of her brother and mother. The demo she made of it was noticed
by René Angélil, now Céline's manager-husband. René was so convinced of
Céline's abilities he actually mortgaged his house in order to record
her debut album.
In 1982 she was awarded the Gold Medal and the Musician's Award for top performer at the Yamaha World Song Festival in Tokyo. Her first albums, recorded in French, gained her wide acclaim, and in 1983 she was the first Canadian ever to receive a Gold Record in France. While her albums turned platinum, she received multiple Felix Awards. Then in 1988, Céline took the Eurovision Song Contest by storm in Dublin, Ireland.
