Mini Biography
Multi-platinum artist Michael Bublé grew up near Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. He was introduced to swing music and old standards by his grandfather, who offered his services for free as a professional plumber to musicians who were willing to let Michael sing a couple of songs with them on stage.
He got his big break in show business after former Canadian Prime Minister Brian Mulroney discovered his music. At 10 years of struggling, the discovery came at a time when distraught Michael was considering giving up a career in music and getting a job in media. His performance at a corporate gig in summer 2000 impressed Michael McSweeney, speech writer/right hand man to Brian Mulroney, and told Mcsweeney to feel free to use his independent CD as a coaster if he didn't like it. Mcsweeney gave the CD to Brian & Mila Mulroney, which led to an invitation to sing at their daughter's wedding, where he was introduced to music producer David Foster, who took him under his wing.
His self-titled debut album came out February 12, 2003 and has since won several music awards and incredible worldwide success.

Is of Italian descent. He has dual Italian-Canadian citizenship. He has stated that his last name is actually from his Italian ancestry. Part of his family is from Treviso (in northern Italy), and the other part of his family is from Villa Santa Lucia degli Abruzzi, Italy. His grandfather Demetrio "Mitch" Santagà comes from the village of Preganziol, Italy.
During preparation for his daughter's wedding, Brian Mulroney was hesitant to listen to Buble's CD, given by Mulroney's speech writer Michael McSweeney after a corporate gig, because the wedding had a long list of entertainment. However, it was Brian's wife, Mila, who told him to listen to the CD and include Buble in the entertainment list, after which Buble was invited to sing in front of wedding guest David Foster, who later produced Buble's self-titled album.
In 1996, he landed a role as Elvis in the Vancouver run of a Rock and Roll musical revue called Red Rock Diner, where he became friends with Debbie Timuss, a stage actress, dancer and singer who taught him the choreography. Two years later they became an item and moved to Toronto as part of the cast of another musical revue, this time a big band musical revue called Forever Swing. The hit single "Home" from the album It's Time was written for Debbie Timuss, whom Bublé has had a near decade long off-again-on-again relationship. Having gotten back together from one of their breakups and away in Italy on tour, he penned "Home" for Timuss, describing his pain from being away from her. She is the song's background vocalist and is featured in the song's music video. He referred the album It's Time as "Debbie's Record", and a few of the tracks on It's Time was recorded while he sang to her as she sat outside the studio. They became formally engaged pre-Christmastime 2004 and called off the engagement November 2005.
His father Lewis is a salmon fisherman and his mother, Amber, raised him and his two younger sisters.
At 18, Bublé entered a talent contest in a local bar even though the rules stipulated contestants had to be 19. After he won, the organizer, a local publicist and entrepreneur named Beverly Delich, disqualified him but was so impressed by his talent that she later called him at his parents' home and suggested he enter the British Columbia Youth Talent Search. He won, and Delich then helped him record an independent CD.
On March 19 2007, his self-penned single "Everything", from album Call Me Irresponsible, made the highest debut in the history of the BDS AC (adult contemporary) charts. In its first week at Canadian radio, "Everything" debuted at #3 on the BDS Mainstream AC Audience chart, and a week later it reached #1 Airplay. Also in its first week, it was aired over 300 times on 43 Radio Stations, reaching an estimated audience in Canada of over 5.2 million listeners.

The original song "Lost" (from album Call Me Irresponsible) is the sequel to his hit single "Home" (from album It's Time). While in Australia, Bublé co-wrote "Lost" during the process of ending his eight year relationship to Debbie Timuss, whom he had previously written "Home" for while still together. "Lost" was written as a tribute to his former relationship to Timuss. Before "Lost" was released, Bublé played the song to Timuss. However, his current girlfriend Emily Blunt is the inspiration to the original single "Everything" (from album Call Me Irresponsible).
First met Emily Blunt at the Australian Logie Awards in 2005 and again a few months later backstage with a group of people at his Los Angeles concert.
His grandfather was a plumber who, whenever he fixed something at a nightclub or something like that, did it for free if the owners allowed Bublé to sing there.
Dean Regan's touring musical, "Forever Swing", was a major factor in launching his early career. His starring role in "Forever Swing" gained huge praise by both fans and critics throughout Canada and the United States.
