Celine Dion is a Canadian singer who is counted among the highest-earning artists in history. Highly popular not just in her native Canada but all over the world for her soulful and melodious voice, she is best known for singing My Heart Will Go On, the main theme song of the 1997 blockbuster film Titanic. The song peaked at No. 1 in several countries across the world, including Canada, the United States, the United Kingdom, Ireland, and Australia, making her one of the most sought-after singers globally. This level of fame and success was something even Dion herself might not have envisioned decades earlier, when she was growing up in a large, poverty-stricken family. Talented and ambitious from a young age, she always dreamed of becoming a singer. As a child, she began performing at the small piano bar her parents owned, and at the age of 12, she composed her first song in collaboration with her mother and brother. The song caught the attention of music manager René Angélil, who was so moved by her voice that he mortgaged his home to finance her first album. His belief in her talent proved right, and Celine soon became a major star in Canada. Gradually, her popularity spread to other parts of the world, and today she is considered one of the best-known international singers.
