Michael Bublé - Biography
| 07-07-2006 20:40 | 0 reaction(s) | add reply |
Michael Bublé's introduction to the music of the swing era came to him
through his grandfather, who filled his grandson's ears with the sounds of
the Mills Brothers, Ella Fitzgerald, Frank Sinatra, and others. As Bublé
eagerly absorbed the recordings, he began to realize that he wanted to be a
singer and that this style of music, virtually foreign to his own generation,
was what he wanted to perform. With his grandfather's assistance, Bublé
soon learned a whole catalog of tunes and gained experience and exposure
by singing as a guest with several local bands. While still in his teen years,
he won the Canadian Youth Talent Search, released several independent
albums, and performed in a musical review titled Swing that traveled across
the U.S. It wasn't long before Bublé was introduced to Grammy-winning
producer David Foster and signed his first major recording contract with
Reprise Records.
The two Canadians began work on a debut album that would incorporate
Bublé's aptitude for pop standards into songs that spanned several decades.
His self-titled debut disc was released in early 2003, and featured jazzy
takes on old standards like "Fever" and "The Way You Look Tonight" as well
as newer classics like Van Morrison's "Moondance" and the Bee Gees' "How
Can You Mend a Broken Heart." Further exposure ensued with a world tour
and appearances on several television programs like NBC's Today Show,
in which he sang a duet with host Katie Couric. He finished off 2003 with an
EP of holiday material, Let It Snow, and began 2004 with the live CD/DVD
set Come Fly With Me
