2000-02: Musical beginnings.
In 2000, Bublé’s career reached a chain of surprising events. An assistant to former minister Brian Mulroney, Michael McSweeney, watched Bublé’s performance at a business party, and received a copy of Bublé’s independent album. McSweeney showed the album to Mulroney and his wife and Bublé was invited to sing at the wedding of Mulroney’s daughter, Caroline, where he sang “Mack the Knife” by Kurt Weill.
Bublé was introduced to David Foster, a Grammy-winning producer who had previously worked with artists such as Michael Jackson, Whitney Houston, Barbra Streisand, Andrea Bocelli, Madonna, Céline Dion, Kenny G, Cher, Michael Jackson, and Josh Groban.
Initially, Foster was reluctant to sign Bublé with his label 143 Records because he “did not know how to trade this type of music.” Bublé moved to Los Angeles for a brief period, with his agent, to convince Foster to accept him. Eventually, Foster agreed to produce an album for him is it raised $ 500,000 to cover production costs, and Bublé did.
Bublé did some performances during this period; In 2000, as a karaoke singer in Duets alongside Gwyneth Paltrow and Huey Lewis, and in 2001 as Van Martin (a club owner) in Totally Blonde.
