Celine Tam – Biography
Celine Tam, the Celine Dion of Hong Kong was born on November 22 in the year 2007. She is the daughter of a Chinese music teacher, Dr Steve Tam and his wife Zie Minshan. Celine also has a brother, a younger sister named Dion Tam. Apparently, the girls were named Celine and Dion after famous Canadian singer Celine Dion. The Tam’s are big fans of the well-decorated singer.
Being born to a music teacher, there is no argument that Celine was born with music genes. Her father, who owns and operates a singing academy in China, discovered his daughter had a beautiful voice when she was 3 years old. They were both in his car one day and while Steve was driving, Celine sang My Heart Will Go On with such emotion that her father confessed that she had such a beautiful voice.
He then started teaching her to sing various songs, sing in different languages, as well as vary her pitch while singing. Céline took it all in with so much understanding beyond what one would expect from a child her age. She was first made public when she entered the ‘Let’s Sing Kids’ contest. She auditioned and appeared on Season 10 of ‘Britain’s Got Talent’, but did not appear on the live show. Tam was also seen on “Little Big Shots” with Jeffrey Li following their viral 2015 Duo You Raise Me Up
In 2015, the child star auditioned for season 12 of America’s Got Talent. She wowed the judges (Howie Mandel, Mel B, Heidi Klum and Simon Cowell) with her scintillating performances of Celine Dion’s My Heart Will Go On. Tam was sent to the Judges Cut where she performed the How Am I Supposed to Live Without You. Judge Laverne Cox sent her to the quarterfinals with a Golden Buzzer. In the quarter-finals, the Hungarian Celine Dion sang the songs of Whitney Houston and Mariah Carey When you believe which earned her a standing ovation from HeidiKlum, as well as enough votes to qualify for the semi-finals. At this point in the competition, Celine Tam has again earned a standing ovation from Heidi after performing the 2016 film MoanaHow far am I going but she didn’t get enough votes to advance to the finals. Thus, Celine collapsed in the semi-finals of season 12 of America’s Got Talent. Although she did not win the contest, the exposure it gave her formed the foundation on which she is recognized as a celebrity today.
What has she been doing since America’s Got Talent?
Ever since she made her debut on the biggest stage, far back in her music career, this question has been on many people’s lips, considering how young she was at the time. Celine Tam was a 9-year-old star when she appeared on the prestigious show.
Looking at her age at the time, it was obvious that she had a lot on her plate despite her so mature appearance and performance on the talent hunt show. It is perhaps this growth that the young Céline is doing now. We mentioned earlier that she signed with GME China as a musician and our results reveal that she is still with the talent management company.
Besides, Celine might as well attend school as she is still of school age. In a few years, we all hope to see her as a professional musician as we lend our ears to be thrilled by her haunting voice. While we’re all waiting for that moment, you can keep an eye out for her on social media. On Facebook her username is Celine Tam 譚芷昀 (@CelineTamOfficial), her Instagram handle is celinetam while on Twitter you can reach her via @celinetam. She also has a steadily growing YouTube channel (Celine Tam Official) where you can see videos of how she is advancing her music career.
