Celine Dion
(30 Mar 1968) Céline Dion "is a Canadian singer and occasional songwriter and actress... [who] emerged as a teen star in the French-speaking world after her manager and future husband René Angélil mortgaged his home to finance her first record. In 1990 she released the anglophone album Unison, establishing herself as a viable pop artist in North America and other English speaking areas of the world." "Dion first gained international recognition in the 1980s after she won both the 1982 Yamaha World Popular Song Festival and the 1988 Eurovision Song Contest. After a series of French albums in the early 1980s, she signed on to Sony Records in 1986." "Under the guidance of her husband, she achieved worldwide success with several English and French albums, ending the decade as one of the most-successful artists in pop music." "Dion's music has been influenced by various genres, which range from pop, soul and rock to gospel to classical, and while her releases have often received mixed critical reception, she is renowned for her technically skilled and powerful vocals." "In 2004, after accumulating record sales in excess of 175 million, she was presented with the Chopard Diamond Award from the World Music Awards show for becoming the "Best-selling Female Artist in the World."
