Bublé grew up listening to his grandfather's collection of jazz records and credits his grandfather in encouraging his love for jazz music. {{qi|My grandfather was really my best friend growing up.

At age 18, Bublé entered a local talent contest and won, but was disqualified by organizer Bev Delich for being underage. Delich entered him in the Canadian Youth Talent Search. After Bublé won that contest, he asked Delich to be his manager. Delich represented him for the next seven years, during which Bublé worked diligently at any job that came along: clubs, conventions, cruise ships, hotel lounges, shopping malls, and talent shows.

In 1996, Bublé appeared in TV's Death Game (also known as Mortal Challenge) as a Drome Groupie. Also in 1996, he appeared (uncredited) in two episodes of The X-Files as a member of a submarine crew. His first national TV performance was on a 1997 award-winning Bravo! documentary titled Big Band Boom!, directed by Mark Glover Masterson. Beginning in 1997, he became a frequent guest on Vicki Gabereau's national talk show on the CTV network. During its first season, the Vancouver-based programme aired live, which ultimately worked in Bublé's favour. When a scheduled guest was forced to cancel, the show's music producer often asked Bublé to fill in at the last minute. The Gabereau appearances provided Bublé with great exposure, but they also helped the singer hone his television skills as a performer and as an interview guest. In a mutual show of gratitude, Bublé appeared on the final Gabereau show in 2005, along with Jann Arden and Elvis Costello.{{cite encyclopedia|url=https://jam.canoe.ca/Music/Pop_Encyclopedia/B/Buble.html|title=Bublé, Michael |encyclopedia=The Canadian Pop Encyclopedia|publisher=Canoe/Sun Media|access-date=April 11, 2015|url-status=usurped|archive-url=https://archive.today/20150412033624/http://jam.canoe.ca/Music/Pop_Encyclopedia/B/Buble.html|archive-date=April 12, 2015}}

McSweeney showed the album to Mulroney and his wife. Bublé subsequently was invited to sing at the wedding of Mulroney's daughter, Caroline, where he sang Kurt Weill's "Mack the Knife". At the wedding, Bublé was introduced to David Foster, a multiple Grammy Award-winning producer and record executive who previously had worked with artists such as Madonna, Brandy Norwood, Whitney Houston, Michael Jackson, Céline Dion, Barbra Streisand, Kenny G, Cher, Josh Groban, and Andrea Bocelli.{{cite encyclopedia |title=David Foster |encyclopedia=Encyclopedia of Music in Canada |publisher=Historica Canada |url=http://thecanadianencyclopedia.ca/en/article/david-foster-emc |access-date=August 17, 2019 |date=March 21, 2019}}

Bublé moved to Los Angeles with his agent for a brief period to convince Foster to sign him. Eventually, Foster agreed to produce an album for him if he raised $500,000 to cover the costs of the production (which Bublé did). Foster ended up covering the costs of production under his label, with no assurances of support from Warner Brothers. Additionally, Bublé received the personal stamp of approval and support of Foster's friend, musician and songwriter Paul Anka. After David Foster agreed to produce Bublé's debut album, Bruce Allen, whom Bublé had pursued for years to be his manager, also signed Bublé. Bublé appeared as a karaoke singer in Duets in 2000 and a club owner in Totally Blonde in 2001.{{Cite web |date=April 8, 2022 |title=Michael Bublé Wins Canadian Screen Award |url=https://www.iheartradio.ca/news/michael-buble-wins-canadian-screen-award-1.17542913 |access-date=April 16, 2023 |website=iHeartRadio}}
