Today, Canadian artists dominate international charts, headline major festivals, and shape contemporary pop culture in ways that would have seemed unimaginable a generation ago.

One of the first artists to put Canada firmly on the global music map was Céline Dion. Rising from humble beginnings in Quebec, Dion became a household name after winning the Eurovision Song Contest in 1988. Her unparalleled vocal range and timeless ballads, including My Heart Will Go On, secured her place among the greatest performers of all time. Dion paved the way for Canadian singers to dream bigger, proving that international superstardom was possible.
