Aselin Debison

在艾絲琳的身上，你可以強烈感受到當地人們的純樸善良。自小喜愛唱歌的她，并未受過任何專業 的音樂訓練，但她希望能藉由歌聲為大家帶來歡娛。 　　2000年加拿大國慶日上的一場表演，加拿大聯邦總理克雷蒂安(Jean Chretien)贊譽她是下一位席琳狄翁。但艾絲琳自己認為，她還年輕，她只想唱她自己喜歡的歌，這個封號實在太沉重了。 　　盡管艾絲琳逐漸受到世界矚目，首張專輯便獲得告示牌跨界專輯榜Top8的佳績，但她仍有著一般小女孩的生活與夢想。艾絲琳不僅喜歡流行與鄉村音樂，她也愛籃球，她的愿望是：我要取得大學籃球的獎學金，并參加女子世界籃球賽(WNBA)。 Aselin Debison is a Canadian pop/Celtic singer, sometimes known affectionately as Azi, either by herself or her fanbase. Born in Glace Bay, Nova Scotia, Aselin was named after Aslan, the lion in C. S. Lewis' Chronicles of Narnia. She began her singing career in 1999, when she was asked to sing at a rally of protesting miners in her hometown. Soon after this performance she began working on a Christmas album The Littlest Angel which was released in 2001. In 2002, she was spotted by Sony Classical president Peter Gelb at the East Coast Music Awards. Her debut album Sweet is the Melody appeared that same year. In 2003, Aselin Debison was chosen to sing for Queen Elizabeth II at the Roy Thomson Hall in Toronto, Ontario, during her visit to Canada for her Jubilee celebration. Aselin sang with country music artist Bruce Guthro on a CBC special entitled "Aselin Debison: Sweet is the Melody". She performed selections from her debut album and also classic Cape Breton Island songs, such as the Island's anthem. During her tour to promote "Sweet Is The Melody," she performed in New York and Tokyo, Japan. One track from the Sweet is the Melody; Aselin's cover of the distinctive Israel Kamakawiwo'ole medley arrangement Somewhere Over the Rainbow/What a Wonderful World, became widely popular in Korea and Japan. Thanks to its inclusion in soft pop compilation albums such as Sony Music Korea/Splash Music's 2003 Crossover Romance, it became a firmly established element of ambient music in many parts of east Asia. Several other tracks from Sweet is the Melody were also included in Korean and Japanese pop compilations. In March 2005 Aselin released her second album, Bigger Than Me, and the singles Life and Faze have been popular on light rock/pop radio. Whereas Aselin's early recordings consisted of cover versions, for Bigger Than Me she wrote the material herself along with assistance from Dave Thomson (co-founder of teen pop band Wave) and producer Thomas "Tawgs" Salter (initially renowned as a member of the 1990's Canadian rock band Dunk). Her change of style from Celtic pop to a more pop/rock sound has been successful, and she continues to be a popular and an increasingly well known singer 更多>>
