Hailing from the small town of Charlemagne, Québec, Céline Dion has become one of the all-time greatest singers. Céline was born in 1968, the youngest of 14 children.
Early in childhood, she sang with her siblings in a small club owned by her parents. From these early experiences, Céline gained the know-how to performing live. Although she is now a Canadian national treasure and an international superstar, Celine Dion was born to a humble family in a small town in Québec. Although there wasn’t much money, her life was rich in love and music. The whole family even performed as a group in local concerts.
Mama Thérèse realized her youngest daughter’s talent and sent impresario René Angélil a cassette of a song that Celine wrote when she was only 12 years old. The little girl’s sound so impressed René that he mortgaged his house to finance her career, and thus began a musical collaboration of legendary proportions.
