celebrities who started

from the bottom!

The presentation was made by

Buruiană Marin.
Although she is the 14th
child of a poor family in
Quebec and his parents
supported a family of 16
members on $160 a week,
Celine became one of the
most famous artists in the
world. So, today I am
presenting his career
development, with the
thought that it will inspire
and motivate you too.
• In 1978, at the age of 10, Celine Dion, the youngest member of a
family of 14 children, convinced her parents to let her play the piano
in their bar, opened near Montreal. In an attempt to convince her
parents, Celine tells them: "I'm going to go on tour and become the
biggest singer in the world."
• A few years later, her prediction came true.In 1980, Celine Dion
recorded her first song, "It Was Only a Dream", composed by her
brother, Jacques, and her mother, Thérèse. The song was sent to
René Angélil, a manager-producer in the area, who requested a live
audition and it is said that as the 12-year-old singer sang, Angélil
began to cry with emotion.
• In 1981 she released her first album, "La Voix du Bon Dieu".
• In 1985, already famous in Canada and France, the singer
who dropped out of school to focus on her career aims to
become famous in the United States as well. Celine Dion
learns English and becomes a young singer loved by
Americans.
• In 1988, already having 8 albums with songs in French, Dion
wins Eurovision.
• In 1990, Celine Dion releases the single "Where Does My
Heart Beat Now" and enters the top 10 most listened to artists
in the world. However, she knew true success in 1992, when
she recorded "Beauty and the Beast" with Peabo Bryson. The
film won an Oscar and a Grammy.
In 1993, the secret
relationship between Celine
and Angélil becomes public.
She explains in an interview
that "when you're in love, you
want to tell the whole world."
On December 17, Celine Dion
(who was 26 at the time)
married Angélil (who was 52).
The two got married at Notre-
Dame Basilica (Montreal),
had a fairytale wedding, and
right after the wedding, the
groom told the guests: "My
job is to make her happy."
• In 1996, thanks to the success of the single "Because You
Loved Me", the album "Falling Into You" sold 10.8 million
CDs, and Celine Dion won two more Grammy Awards for
the best pop album and album of the year.

• 1997 was the "Titanic" Year. Originally, producer James

Cameron didn't want a ballad for the romantic drama
Titanic, but after hearing "My Heart Will Go On" he
instantly changed his mind. At the time, it was estimated
that Dion would have a fortune of about 200 million dollars
($).
• In 2000, Celine discovers that Angélil has throat cancer and
takes a career break. In the same year, she announces that she
will have a child.

• In 2001, she became a mother, and in 2002, she returned to

the stage and released "A New Day". She hits the charts with
her songs and earns 3 platinum discs.

• In 2003, Dion moved to Las Vegas to perform her show "A

New Day" 5 nights a week at Caesars Palace. Here, the
singer earns 100 million dollars ($). Also this year, his father
dies.
• In 2010, Celine Dion gave birth to twins Eddy
and Nelson. More accomplished than ever, in
2011, Dion returns to Las Vegas at Caesars
Palace and launches a new show, "Celine."
