Today’s multi-platinum entertainer, songwriter, producer and humanitarian guest was a man on a mission when he signed his record deal with Reprise Records almost two decades ago. The Canadian artist has earned 4 Grammys, scores of Junos, critical acclaim and sold well over 60 million records. As a songwriter, some of his No. 1 smash hits include the now iconic “Home”, “Haven’t Met You Yet” and “Everything”. His 6 global tours have sold out in over 40 countries. Today’s guest has accomplished the unthinkable: a pop artist who is equally at home in the worlds of great standards, jazz, r&b, beautiful ballads, and can also swing like his musical heroes like Louis Prima and make it all work harmoniously. His 2011 holiday album, Christmas, went straight to No. 1, his third chart topper and the second biggest selling album of that year. It has continued its reign every year during the holidays and has to date sold well over 16 million copies around the world and has been streamed over 4 billion times – ten years following its initial release. He is a proud husband and a father to three beautiful children. Our guest is also deeply committed to supporting many charities including Children’s Hospital Los Angeles (CHLA) and BC Children’s Hospital (BCCH). The anticipation is rising as this artist is set to release his ninth studio album in early 2022. And The Writer Is… Michael Bublé!Artwork: Michael Richey White Hosted on Acast.
