Celine Dion

There is probably no living soul on this earth that doesn’t know who Celine Dion is. The singer wasn’t just the voice behind some of music’s biggest hits, but she was also a Hollywood powerhouse. According to the singer, she grew up in a poor but relatively happy household in Montreal, Quebec. Her family also supported her passion for music despite their financial situation. So when Dion was 12 years old, her mother and brother composed a song for the young singer, recorded it, and sent it to Rene Angelil.

Impressed with the singer’s natural singing prowess, he decided to mortgage his home and fund Dion’s first record production. The song was an instant hit, and word of the singer’s talent spread like wildfire throughout the world. Since then, Celine Dion went on to become one of the biggest global superstars. She’s had a magnificent four-decade-long career so far, but it seems like she’s not done smashing the charts just yet.
