Lionel Richie

Before Lionel Richie became a musician, he studied economics and played tennis at the Tuskegee Institute. He taught himself how to play the saxophone and was invited to join the funk band Commodores. Lionel quickly became a household name, and he started touring on his own solo act. He made the switch from Motown Records to Atlantic Records in the 2000s, and he's been there ever since. 

Celine Dion

Dion became a star at just 12-years-old. She learned how to be a proper singer through osmosis because her entire family was musically inclined. Over the years, Celine Dion became a superstar, and she is still singing today at the age of 53.
