- Michael Steven Bublé (born 9 September 1975) is a critically acclaimed Grammy-winning, multiple Juno Award-winning Canadian-Italian crooner, big band singer and actor.
- Bublé was born in Burnaby, British Columbia. He is mostly Italian. Bublé’s grandparents (Mihovil and Lucija Bublé) live in Trogir (Croatia). Bublé grew up listening to his grandfather’s collection of jazz records, and in almost every interview he highlights the importance of his grandfather in encouraging his musical tastes.
- Michael Bublé was engaged to long-time girlfriend Debbie Timuss, a stage actress, dancer, and singer. Both were in the musicals Red Rock Diner in 1996 and Dean Regan’s Forever Swing in 1998. He printed a dedication to her on both his self-titled album Michael Bublé and It’s Time, and listed her as background vocalist on It’s Time. While away in Italy, Bublé co-wrote the hit single “Home” for Timuss, and she was also featured in the music video.
- During an appearance at Australian television’s Logie Awards in 2005, he met British actress Emily Blunt backstage. He thought she was a BBC television producer. (That totally cracks me up!) They are now dating and Bublé has often jokingly expressed his concern for her fast becoming more famous than himself. She also provided background vocals on the cover of “Me and Mrs. Jones” on the album Call Me Irresponsible. The hit original song “Everything” was penned by Bublé for Blunt.
- When Michael’s 2006 Valentine’s Day EP - “With Love, Michael Buble”- was released only for a week, the album reached Gold status selling 500,000 copies. The album also became the biggest selling CD Hallmark has ever released, selling in excess of 3 million copies. (Yep, I have it. :P )
Their engagement ended in November 2005. Bublé co-wrote the hit original song “Lost” inspired by their breakup.
Guess he’s one of “those” musicians. ;) Why can’t he write a song for me? LOL
