Lisa Lavie (surname pronounced lah-vee) (born May 6, 1983) is a Canadian singer and songwriter originally from LaSalle, Québec, Canada.
Lavie is known for using the Internet to independently promote her own music and concerts. Lavie's vocals have appeared on soundtracks of major motion pictures, and her independently produced debut album Everything or Nothing was released on iTunes in 2008.
Lavie has received national television coverage for her vocals, and for her production of the charity collaboration video "We Are the World 25 for Haiti (YouTube Edition)." She was chosen as a vocalist for Yanni's 2010-2011 tours of South, Central, and North America, his late-2011 tour of Eastern Europe and Asia, and his 2012 tour of Mexico, Canada and the U.S.
Lavie won a singing part in a school variety show at age 10. Lavie's older brothers Michael, a hip hop dancer, and Danny, a disk jockey known around Montréal as DJ Devious, were her family musical inspirations. She said she listened devotedly to Mariah Carey.
Céline Marie Claudette Dion, CC OQ, (French pronunciation: [selin djɔ̃] ( listen); born March 30, 1968), is a Canadian singer. Born to a large family from Charlemagne, Quebec, Dion emerged as a teen star in the French-speaking world after her manager and future husband René Angélil mortgaged his home to finance her first record. In 1990, she released the English-language album Unison, establishing herself as a viable pop artist in North America and other English-speaking areas of the world.
Dion had first gained international recognition in the 1980s by winning both the 1982 Yamaha World Popular Song Festival and the 1988 Eurovision Song Contest. Following a series of French albums in the early 1980s, she signed on to CBS Records Canada in 1986. During the 1990s, with the help of Angélil, she achieved worldwide fame after signing with Epic Records and releasing several English albums along with additional French albums, becoming one of the most successful artists in pop music history. However, in 1999 at the height of her success, Dion announced a hiatus from entertainment in order to start a family and spend time with her husband, who had been diagnosed with cancer. She returned to the top of pop music in 2002 and signed a three-year (later extended to almost five years) contract to perform nightly in a five-star theatrical show at the Colosseum at Caesars Palace, Paradise, Nevada.
