Michael Buble Bio
Michael Bublé was born 9 September 1975
in Burnaby, British Columbia. He is a pop jazz singer and actor.
While achieving modest chart success in the United States, his 2003
self-titled album has reached the top ten in Canada, the UK and
Australia. In 2004, a live album and video Come Fly With Me (2004) was
listed on the Billboard music video charts and reached Australia's top
40 album charts. He reached commercial success in the U.S. with It's
Time. He bears a striking resemblance to actor Matt Dillon. Michael
Bublé is of Italian descent.
He grew up listening to his grandfather's collection of jazz records. On
his website, Bublé highlights the importance of his grandfather in
encouraging his musical tastes. "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 & 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 knew that this
was the music that I wanted to sing."
Bublé's grandfather encouraged him to learn the standards that he loved
and to enter a talent contest in Vancouver which he won before a later
disqualification for being underage. Not discouraged, he won first prize
in a Canadian Youth Talent Search at the age of seventeen.
For the next few years, Bublé pursued a musical career without great
success. He appeared as Elvis in a Red Rock Diner road show and sung as
a star of a musical revue called Forever Swing. He also appeared in an
episode of Death Game in 1996. He recorded a couple of independent
albums, one as a present to his grandfather. Bublé received two Genie
Awards in 2000 for songs he wrote for the film Here's To Life starring
Eric McCormack.
Bublé's second studio album, It's Time, debuted as a hugely successful
sophomore performance. The album reached No. 7 on the Billboard Album
Charts and No. 2 on the ARIA Album Charts in Australia. It's Time also
debuted at No. 4 on the UK Album Charts. The album features covers of
Beatles and Ray Charles songs, as well as a collaboration with Stevie
Wonder and the hit single "Home". Bublé can be seen in Starbucks
commercials singing his cover of the Jimmy Van Heusen/Sammy Cahn swing
standard, "Come Fly With Me," from his debut album, and more recently,
ESPN has used "Feeling Good" in commercials for poker tournaments.
Michael Bublé has now sold in excess of ten million recordings
world-wide. He is rapidly becoming one of the most popular young singers
in the world today. He has a massive following across Europe, North
America, Australia, South East Asia, South Africa and Brazil.
Michael Bublé won four Juno awards at the 2006 Juno Awards in Halifax,
Nova Scotia, Canada, including Pop Album Of The Year (It's Time), Single
Of The Year (Home), Album Of The Year (Michael Bublé), and Artist Of The
Year. He was also nominated for the Juno Fan Choice Award, but did not
win. Overall, Michael Bublé took away the most awards at the 2006 Junos.
