Michael Buble
This kid can really swing. That, in a nutshell, sums up the extraordinary appeal of a 25-year-old Vancouver vocalist with a gift for making the some of the greatest songs of all time entirely his own. His name is Michael Bublé (pronounced Boo-blay) and the evidence of his singular swingingness is on abundant display with his irresistible new Reprise/143 Records debut album. More than a tribute to the gold standard of music's most enduring songs; more than an homage to a bygone era of songwriting and performing: the 13 tracks of Michael Bublé announce in no uncertain terms the arrival of a major new talent with a flair for infusing familiar and beloved music with a fresh, original, and utterly unique sensibility entirely his own. Michael Bublé can, indeed, swing.
Michael Bublé (born 9 September 1975) is a Canadian crooner jazz singer and actor. While achieving modest chart success in the US, his 2003 self-titled album has reached the top ten in Canada, the UK and Australia. A 2004 live album and video "Come Fly With Me" is in the Billboard music video charts as at May 1 2004 and has reached the top 40 album charts in Australia.
Michael Buble was born in Burnaby, British Columbia in 1975. He grew up listening to his grandfather's collection of jazz records. On his website Buble 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."
Buble'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, Buble won first prize in a Canadian Youth Talent Search at the age of 17.
For the next few years, Michael Buble 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. Buble received two Genie Awards in 2000 for songs he wrote for the film Here's To Life starring Eric McCormack.

Artist Biography - Michael Buble
|
 Michael Buble's career breakthrough came when he sang Kurt Weill's "Mack The Knife" at the wedding of Brian Mulroney's daughter Caroline in 2000. Mulroney introduced Buble to David Foster, a multi-Grammy awarding producer and a Warner Brothers record executive who had worked with Josh Groban previously. Foster signed Buble to his '143' record label and he started recording a self-titled album 2001 with Foster as producer. The album features a range of standards from various eras including "Fever", "The Way You Look Tonight", "For Once In My Life", Van Morrison's "Moondance" and Lou Rawls' "You'll Never Find Another Love Like Mine". Barry Gibb of the Bee Gees sang back up vocals on Buble's version of the groups "How Can You Mend A Broken Heart".
The album was released in early 2003 and soon entered the Canadian album charts. Chart success in the UK, US, Australia and elsewhere soon followed with the album going platinum and reaching the top ten of the album charts in the UK and Canada and going all the way to #1 in Australia. The album has reached the top 50 of the Billboard 200 album charts. His version of "Kissing A Fool" by George Michael was released as a single from the album and reached the top 30 of the Billboard adult contemporary chart. "How Can You Mend A Broken Heart" reached the top 30 of the Billboard adult contemporary chart as well. His third single "Sway", originally performed by Dean Martin also reached the top 30 of the adult contemporary chart while a Junkie XL remix of the song has reached the top 20 in Australia as at May 2004.
Bublé won the "Best New Talent" award at the Juno Awards of 2004 and his self-titled album was nominated for "Album of the Year" losing out to Sam Roberts.
Buble released a Christmas EP Let It Snow in late 2003. The title track reached the Australian top 40 in the singles charts, ironically in mid-summer in that country. He released a live album and video in April 2004 with the video reaching the top 10 of the Billboard video charts. The album also reached the Australian top 50 of the album charts as at the end of April and the Billboard 200 album charts.
Buble has also appeared in a variety of films in the past few years including his appearance as a karaoke singer in Duets opposite Gwyneth Paltrow and Huey Lewis. He also has appeared in Totally Blonde in 2001 and in The Snow Walker in 2003.
But Michael also brings a quality entirely his own to these thirteen stellar tracks. "Michael hasn't just learned this music," concludes Foster. "He's lived it. He brings a youthful energy to it, tough and tender at the same time and like nothing else I've ever heard. The great thing is that he's tapped into a repertoire that can last him 50 years. He's at the beginning of a very long career." A half a century of swing. It just doesn't get any better than that.
