How did Céline Dion start her music career?

Céline Dion began singing with her family when she was five years old. At age 12 she came to the attention of impresario René Angélil, who launched her career with the album La Voix du bon Dieu (1981; “The Voice of God”). Dion subsequently won many awards, including becoming the first Canadian recipient of a gold record in France. In 1988 she represented Switzerland at the Eurovision Song Contest, where she won with her performance of “Ne partez pas sans moi” (“Do Not Leave Without Me”).
