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.

Michael James Cuccione was born in Burnaby, British Columbia, Canada on January 5th, 1985, to Domenic and Gloria Cuccione. In 1994, when he was only 9 years old, he was diagnosed with 2A Hodgkin's Disease. He recovered from two bouts of the cancer, but was left with permanent damage to and around his heart and lungs due to the massive doses of treatment he received.
He then began to go on radio, television, and made many in-person appearances at schools, hospitals and other fund raising events, to tell people who were, or had suffered with cancer and to spread the knowledge of the deadly cancer. But more importantly, to inspire other people not to give up and to remain strong. Michael even met the Prime Minister of Canada.
He later co-wrote a book with his grandmother, "There Are Survivors." He also wrote his own music and later released 5 songs on his first CD, "Making a difference". In 1999 Michael tried out for the role of 'Jason "QT" McKnight.' Michael and 4 other guys (Noah, Even, Chris and Alex) were found and formed into the boy band spoof, '2gether.' A lot of debate went back and forth about whether all of the 5 group members were the ones that were really singing. But later it was proved to the world that all 5 guys could sing and were the ones in fact singing.
The movie 2gether (2000) was released in February 2000 and the soundtrack to the made-for-TV movie also made Billboard's Top 100 Album Charts. In August 2000 the movie became a weekly series, airing on Mondays at 10:00pm ET, on MTV. '2gether' also released another album titled "2gether Again". A soundtrack of the 2gether: The Series (2000) show series was released in August 2000. The album, "2gether Again", also made it to Billboard's Top 100 Albums Charts.
The boy band spoof, had made such a hit with fans that other famous singers and artists began to take notice of the group, and in the fall of 2000, 2gether went on tour with Britney Spears and was her opening act. During this time the group was also filming the 2nd season of "2gether, The Series".
Michael began to suffer from breathing problems and had to have an oxygen tank on the '2gether' set. His breathing problems increased and he was forced to miss tapings of the show and group appearances. On December 4th, 2000, he was admitted to the hospital with pneumonia. He spent a month in the hospital, celebrating what turned out to be his last Christmas, New Years and birthday there with his family. On January 13th, 2001, his lungs collapsed and he died in Vancouver, with his family by his side, just 8 days after his 16th birthday.- Actress
