Michael Steven Bublé (born September 9, 1975, Burnaby, British Columbia) is a Canadian singer, songwriter, and actor. He has won several accolades, including five Grammy Awards and fifteen Juno Awards. His self-titled debut album, Michael Bublé, reached the top ten in the United Kingdom and his home country of Canada. He found worldwide commercial success with his 2005 album It's Time, and his 2007 album Call Me Irresponsible was an even bigger success, reaching number one on the Canadian Albums Chart, the U.S. Billboard 200 chart, the Australian ARIA Albums Chart, and the European charts. Bublé's seventh studio album, Christmas, was released on October 24, 2011 in the United Kingdom, and the following day in the United States. It was produced by David Foster, Bob Rock, and Humberto Gatica. The album was recorded primarily at Capitol Recording Studios in Hollywood and The Warehouse Studios in Vancouver. Bublé's introduction to the music of the swing era came to him through his grandfather, who filled his ears with the sounds of The Mills Brothers, Ella Fitzgerald, Frank Sinatra, and others. As Bublé eagerly absorbed the recordings, he began to realize that he wanted to be a singer and that this style of music, virtually foreign to his own generation, was what he wanted to perform. With his grandfather's assistance, Bublé soon learned a whole catalog of music and gained experience and exposure by singing as a guest with several local bands. While still in his teen years, he won the Canadian Youth Talent Search, released several independent albums, and performed in a musical review titled "Swing" that traveled across the U.S. It wasn’t long before Bublé was introduced to Grammy-winning producer David Foster, directly after his performance during the wedding of former Prime Minister Brian Mulroney’s daughter, Caroline Mulroney. He later signed his first major recording contract with Reprise Records, following that encounter. Foster and Bublé began work on a debut album that would incorporate Bublé's aptitude for pop standards into songs that spanned several decades. His self-titled debut was released in early 2003, and featured "jazzy" takes on old standards like “Fever” and “The Way You Look Tonight”, as well as newer classics like “Moondance” and “How Can You Mend A Broken Heart”. He finished off 2003 with an EP of holiday material, Let It Snow!, and began 2004 with the live CD/DVD set Come Fly With Me. In 2005, It's Time was a number one hit in Canada, Japan, Italy, and Australia, and made the top ten of both the UK and US. Later that year, he released the live album Caught in the Act. More recently, Bublé received a 2023 Grammy Award for 'Best Traditional Pop Vocal Album' for Higher. Read more on Last.fm.
