Michael Bublé is an extraordinary talent whose sensational voice lends such depths to songs ranging from the classic swing standards through to jazz and contemporary pop. Not only is Michael an incredible singer who has crossed the genres and bridged the generations so effortlessly, breathing a new lease of life into the standards and reinventing classic pop songs and making them his own, he is also an all-round entertainer who has the knack of making his audience fall in love with him at every performance, be it through his physical interaction with the crowd through his dialogue on stage or through his incredible interpretations of the songs he performs.
A Michael Bublé concert experience is like no other ~ incredibly addictive and ever so seductive, an evening with Michael as he woos you with his charm and vocal talents leaves you wanting for more. In no time at all you end up succumbing to the lure of another Bublé concert and not only do you crave seeing Michael perform again but you also want to lap up the talented musicianship of the wonderful band who accompany him. They are guaranteed to take you on an emotional rollercoaster of a ride during the course of an evening, making you laugh, and cry, but ultimately leaving you feeling euphoric and exhilarated - rest assured, you'll leave the concert venue yearning to hear more and no doubt planning the next time you'll be coming back to get your next fix of Michael and the Bublé band!
Michael's love of the standards began when he was a young boy listening to the jazz recordings his grandfather loved so much. Born September 9, 1975 in Burnaby, British Columbia, Canada, Michael was encouraged by his beloved Grandpa Mitch to learn to sing the standards. He was encouraged to enter a talent competition which he in fact won but was disqualified from for being underage. Grandpa Mitch was so certain his grandson had something special to show the world that he offered to do free plumbing work for musicians in exchange for them letting Michael perform with them on stage.
Having taken advantage of these opportunities and relishing the experience of performing live, Michael went onto win first prize in a Canadian Youth Talent Search. He later toured in a Red Rock Diner production playing the part of Elvis and also starred in a musical revue called "Swing". It was during this period that Michael recorded three independent albums: First Dance (1996); Babalu (2001) and Dream (2002).
Michael got his big break when the former Canadian Prime Minister, Brian Mulroney, invited him to perform at his daughter's wedding in 2000 and introduced Michael to the multi-Grammy winning producer, performer, and Warner Brothers Records Executive, David Foster. Foster signed Michael to the 143 / Reprise Records label and together with Humberto Gatica, worked to hone Michael's potential and experimented with his stylistic range.
The result was Michael's impressive self-titled debut album on the Reprise Records label, released in 2003. It contains such classic tracks as "Fever", "Moondance", "For Once In My Life", "How Can You Mend A Broken Heart", "Sway", "The Way You Look Tonight", "Come Fly With Me" and the modern classic written by George Michael, "Kissing A Fool". "They have a heart and a soul", says Michael about the chosen tracks, "and the challenge of any singer is to connect with those qualities and make them real for the audience. Of course, these particular standards have been favorites of mine for as long as I can remember. But the newer material has that special something as well. It's a timeless quality."
"Michael hasn't just learned this music", remarks David Foster, "he's lived it. He brings youthful energy to it, tough and tender at the same time and like nothing else I've ever heard. The great thing is, he's tapped into a repertoire that can last him fifty years. He's at the beginning of a very long career."
Michael's debut album was a worldwide success, charting highly on the Canadian, UK, US and Australian Album Charts. The album went platinum reaching the Top 10 of the Album Charts in the UK and Canada and soared to No. 1 in Australia. Michael followed his chart success by winning the "New Artist of the Year" Award at the 2004 Juno Awards (Canada's Music Awards).
Over the last few years, Michael has enjoyed playing to sellout crowds worldwide and has become a global phenomenon. Feburary 2006 marked Michael's debut series of concerts in Las Vegas at the LV Hilton where he played to a packed audience over four nights emulating one of his music heroes, Elvis Presley, with his own rendition of "Viva Las Vegas" in the very auditorium Elvis played in.
In 2006, together with his Musical Director and Pianist, Alan Chang and with Amy Foster-Gillies, Michael won the “Songwriter of the Year Award” from the Society of Composers, Authors and Music Publishers of Canada (SOCAN) for the hit song, "Home", which features prominently on Michael's album, "It's Time".
Since then, the award nominations have been rolling in for Michael and he has gone on to win a number of prestigious awards, including Grammy Awards for Best Traditional Pop Vocal Album for both "Call Me Irresponsible" and "Michael Bublé Meets Madison Square Garden".
Michael finished another record-breaking tour with the concert finale at Madison Square Garden, New York on 5th December, 2008 - the CD/DVD release of "Michael Bublé Meets Madison Square Garden" came out in June, 2009 and has gone on to win 'Best Traditional Pop Vocal Album' in The 52nd Annual Grammy Awards .
In April 2009, for the second year running, Michael's hometown awarded him the Burnaby Now Readers' Choice Award for Best Burnaby Celebrity. Michael has also been inducted into the prestigious BC Entertainment Hall of Fame and won an International Achievement Award at the 2009 Western Canadian Music Awards.
Michael's latest album, "Crazy Love", was originally due for global release on October 13, 2009. However, unprecedented demand for the album pushed the US release date forward by 4 days to October, 9. The album includes two self-penned original songs, "Haven't Met You Yet" and "Hold On" in addition to Michael's unique interpretation of 11 standards. Two of the tracks, "Stardust" and "All I Do Is Dream Of You" have been recorded with the sensational vocal-play group who supported him on tour, Naturally 7, who, once again, have joined Michael as Special Guests on his "Crazy Love" Tour in 2010. 'Stardust' was debuted on stage during the final leg of the "Call Me Irresponsible" tour and also features as a DVD extra on "Michael Bublé Meets Madison Square Garden".
In the US, the "Crazy Love" album stormed up the Billboard 200 chart debuting at Number 1 with 132,000 copies sold in the first three days of release - an incredible achievement. The album has reached Number 1 in the UK, Australia, Canada, Italy and Ireland and has been certified 4 x Platinum in both the UK and Australia, 3 x Platinum in Canada, 2 x Platinum in Italy and Platinum in France. Congratulations, Michael!
Following the success of his duet with Boyz II Men on the "Call Me Irresponsible" album, Michael has returned the favour recording the old standard, "When I Fall In Love" with Boyz II Men for their new album, "Love", released in the US on November 17th, 2009.
Michael has also recorded 'Relax Max' with Naturally 7 which features exclusively on Naturally 7's new album, 'VocalPlay'. For the release dates of 'VocalPlay' in various countries see www.naturallyseven.com.
As part of the WInter Olympics 2010 in his home city of Vancouver, Michael was honoured to be asked to be a torch bearer in the closing stages of the Olympic Torch relay. He also played a significant role in the Closing Ceremony performing 'Maple Leaf Forever'. Well done Michael, your fellow Canadians and fans across the world are exceptionally proud of you!
