Born in 1968 in Charlemagne, Quebec, the youngest of 14 children, Céline Dion is one of the best-selling artists in music history, with more than 200 million records sold worldwide. Discovered at age 12 by her future manager René Angelil, she broke through in Quebec with her debut album in 1981, then in France the following year with "D'amour ou d'amitié." She won Eurovision 1988 representing Switzerland, before conquering the international stage in the 1990s with English-language albums that sold tens of millions of copies. With one of the most powerful and emotive voices in music, Céline Dion remains an absolute reference point in both French-language and international song, backed by a truly extraordinary career.
