[4] [5] [6] He has won several awards, including two Grammy Awards and multiple Juno Awards. His first album reached the top ten in the UK and Canada. He found worldwide commercial success with his 2005 albumIt's Time, and his 2007 albumCall Me Irresponsiblewas an even bigger success, reaching number one on the Canadian Albums Chart, the U.S. Billboard 200 chart, the Australian ARIA Albums Chart and the European charts. Bublé has [7] sold more than 25 million albums worldwide.

Early years [8] Michael Bublé was born in the city of Burnaby, British Columbia, Canada to Lewis Bublé, a salmon fisherman, [9] [10] [11] [12] and his wife Amber Bublé (née Santagà ). He has two younger sisters, Crystal (an actress) and Brandee. [13] [14] He attended Seaforth Elementary School and Cariboo Hill Secondary School. According to anOprah interview on 9 October 2009, Bublé had dreamed of becoming a famous singer since age two. When he was a [15] [16] teenager, he slept with his Bible and prayed to become a singer. Bublé's interest in jazz music began around [17] [17] [18] [19] age five when his family played Bing Crosby'sWhite ChristmasThe firstalbum at Christmas time. time that his family noticed his singing talent was at Christmas time when Bublé was 13 years old, and they heard him powerfully sing the phrase "May your days be merry and bright" when the family was singing to the song [15] [20] "White Christmas" in a car ride. Bublé also had a strong interest in hockey and wanted to become a [7] [21] [22] professional hockey player for the Vancouver Canucks growing up but believed he wasn't good at it, stating "I wanted so bad to be a hockey player. . .If I was any good at hockey, I probably wouldn't be singing right

Michael Bublé  2 [21] [23] [24] [25] now." Bublé often played hockey in his youth, watched Vancouver Canucks games with his father, and said that he "went to every single home game as a kid. . . I remember I wanted to be Gary Lupul, I wanted to be Patrik Sundstrom and Ivan Hlinka. I used to think that being named Michael Bublé was pretty cool because I was [23] [26] close to being called Jiri Bubla." Bublé also shared his hockey interest with his grandfather. From age 14, Bublé spent his summers working for six years as a commercial fisherman with his father and [8] [27] crewmates. Bublé described his work experience as "The most deadly physical work I’ll ever know in my lifetime. We’d be gone for two, sometimes three months at a time and the experience of living and working [11] among guys over twice my age taught me a lot about responsibility and what it means to be a man." His first singing engagements were in nightclubs at the age of 16 and were facilitated by his Italian grandfather [9] [28] Demetrio Santagà, a plumber originally from the small town of Preganziol, about 20 kilometres from Venice, [11] Italy, who offered his plumbing services in exchange for stage time for his grandson. Bublé's grandfather also [20] paid for his singing lessons. One of his vocal instructors was Joseph Shore, the opera baritone. Bublé grew up listening to his grandfather's collection of jazz records and credits his grandfather in encouraging his love for jazz music. "My grandfather was really my best friend growing up. He was the one who opened me up to a whole world of music that seemed to have been passed over by my generation. Although I like rock 'n' roll and modern music, the first time my granddad played me the Mills Brothers, something magical happened. The lyrics were so romantic, so real, the way a song should be for me. It was like seeing my future flash before me. I wanted to be a singer and I [29] knew that this was the music that I wanted to sing." Bublé never stopped believing that he would become a star but admitted he was probably the only one who believed in his dream, stating that even his maternal grandfather [30] thought Bublé was going to be "an opening act for somebody in Las Vegas". Bublé's maternal grandmother [31] [32] [31] [33] Iolanda Moscone was also Italian, from Carrufo, Villa Santa Lucia degli Abruzzi, Italy. Bublé [7] [34] [35] has stated he never learned to read and write music, using only emotion to drive his songwriting ability. At the age of 18, Bublé entered a local talent contest and won. But after winning, he was disqualified by organizer Bev Delich because he was underage. After that, Delich entered Bublé in the Canadian Youth Talent Search, which he won. Following that win, Bublé asked Delich to be his manager. Delich signed on and represented Bublé for the next seven not-so-fruitful years. According to Delich, Bublé would do every gig imaginable, including talent shows, conventions, cruise ships, malls, hotel lounges, bars, clubs, corporate gigs, musical revues, singing telegrams, and [20] [27] [36] [37] even the occasional singing Santa Claus gig. In 1996, Bublé appeared in TV's "Death Game" (aka Mortal Challenge) as a Drome Groupie. Also in 1996, he [38] appeared (uncredited) in 2 episodes ofThe X-Filesas a Submarine Sailor. Bublé's first national TV performance was on a 1997 award-winning Bravo! documentary titledBig Band Boom!, directed by Mark Glover Masterson. Bublé received two Genie Award-nominations in 2000 for two songs he wrote [39] for the filmHere's to Life!("I've Never Been in Love Before", "Dumb ol' Heart"). He recorded three independent [40] albums (First Dance, 1996;Babalu, 2001;Dream, 2002). But by 25 years of age Bublé had moved from British Columbia to Toronto, Ontario and was ready to give up the dream of professional musicianship to move back to [20] [41] Vancouver, British Columbia to pursue a career in journalism when his lucky break came in 2000. Music career Career breakthrough (2000– 2002) In 2000, Bublé's career breakthrough came from a surprising chain of events. Michael McSweeney saw Bublé's [20] performance at a business party and received a copy of Bublé’s self-financed independent album from Bublé. McSweeney, an aide to former Prime Minister Brian Mulroney, showed the album to Mulroney and his wife. Subsequently, Bublé was invited to sing at the wedding of Mulroney's daughter Caroline, where he sang Kurt Weill's [20] "Mack the Knife". At the wedding, Bublé was introduced to David Foster, a multi-Grammy Award winning producer and record executive who had worked previously with artists such as Whitney Houston, Michael Jackson,

Michael Bublé 3 [20] [42] Céline Dion, Barbra Streisand, Kenny G., Cher, Josh Groban, and Andrea Bocelli. Initially, Foster was reluctant to sign Bublé to his 143 Records label because he “ didn ’ t know how to market this kind of music. ” to Los Angeles for a brief period, with his agent, to convince Foster to sign him.Bublé moved Eventually, Foster agreed to produce an album for him if he raised $500,000 to cover the costs of the production, which Bublé did. Foster ended up covering the costs of production in the end under his label, with no assurances of support from Warner Brothers, and after Bublé received the personal stamp of approval and support of Foster's friend Paul Anka. After David Foster agreed to produce Bublé’s debut album, Bruce Allen, whom Bublé had pursued for years to be his [43] [44] manager, also signed Bublé.

After the success of Michael Bublé's self-titled debut, DRG Records belatedly released the jazzy soundtrack from the 2001 filmTotally Blondein which Bublé had a co-starring role as a nightclub singer/club owner. Capitalizing on Bublé's newfound stardom, DRG Records basically ignored the music's connection to the film by altering the title and putting a shot of Bublé on the cover making it appear as if this was a proper Michael Bublé release.
