Celine Dion

1968-present

Quebec-born superstar with powerful voice

Have you ever heard a voice so big it gives you goosebumps? That's the voice of Celine Dion. Born in 1968 in a small town in Quebec, Canada, she became a global superstar mainly because of her incredible singing. This short presentation focuses on her powerful voice and how it turned a small-town singer into one of the biggest stars of the late 20th and early 21st centuries.

Celine grew up in a musical family and began performing as a child. A young manager named René Angélil heard her and believed in her so much he made big sacrifices to help launch her career. She sings in both French and English, which let her connect with fans around the world.

Her biggest international break came in the 1990s. The song My Heart Will Go On, the love theme from the movie Titanic (1997), became one of the most listened-to songs on Earth. Celine has sold more than 200 million records, won multiple Grammy Awards and other honors, and performed long, sell-out shows in Las Vegas that helped make residencies famous.

Why does she matter? Her voice is strong and full of feeling, and her songs show how music can make people feel brave, happy, or moved. Celine inspired many younger singers, brought French-language music to global stages, supported charities, and shows that hard work and love for music can create a powerful story that lasts.
