Celine Dion is a Canadian singer, composer, songwriter, and actress, originally from a large family in Quebec.

Dion gained international recognition in the 1980s. In 1982, she placed third at the Yamaha Music Festival in Tokyo, and in 1988, she won the Eurovision Song Contest representing Switzerland. In the 1990s, after signing with Epic Records and releasing several English-language albums along with new French releases, Celine Dion achieved worldwide fame and became one of the most successful pop artists.

In 1999, at the height of her success, Dion decided to take a break from her career to devote time to her family and support her husband during his battle with cancer. She returned to the stage in 2002.

Celine Dion's musical style spans a variety of genres, from rock and R&B to gospel and classical music.
