Michael Buble & Laura Pausini 

“You’ll Never Find” 

Wonderful Duet

Did you know Michael Buble has Italian Ancestry?

 Michael’s first singing engagements were in nightclubs at the age of 16 and were facilitated by his Italian grandfather Demetrio Santagà, a plumber originally from the small town of Preganziol, in the district of Treviso, who offered his plumbing services in exchange for stage time for his grandson. 

Bublé’s grandfather paid for his singing lessons. One of his vocal instructors was Joseph Shore, the opera baritone. His maternal grandfather never stopped believing that he would become a star.

Bublé’s maternal grandmother, Iolanda (née Moscone), was also Italian, from Carrufo, Villa Santa Lucia degli Abruzzi, Italy. His father is also of Italian descent. His original brush with entertainment was as a children’s entertainer using the name Mickey Bubbles. 

Hope you enjoy!
