Beyond the Crooner: The Bublé Family’s Hidden Talents Shine on Screen and Page
While Michael Bublé has achieved global renown as the quintessential modern crooner, selling over 75 million albums worldwide with hits like “Haven’t Met You Yet,” his two younger sisters, Crystal and Brandee, have quietly carved out successful and distinct professional careers outside of the music industry, proving that talent truly runs deep in the family from Burnaby, British Columbia.

Brandee Bublé: The Sister Inspiring Children Through Literature
The Bublé family’s second sister, Brandee Bublé, channeled her creativity into a career as a successful children’s book author. Brandee, who previously worked for eight years teaching children with special needs, draws on her professional and personal life for inspiration.
Brandee is the author of the One of a Kind rhyming picture series, which promotes themes of self-belief and embracing differences. Her notable published works include:
- “O’Shae the Octopus” (2014): This debut book was inspired by her son, O’Shae. The story centers on a mollusk with eight arms instead of ten, learning to believe in himself.
- “Jayde the Jaybird” (2015): Written in honour of her daughter, Jayde, the book features a little jaybird with a short wing who discovers a special talent: an incredibly powerful singing voice. Brandee has openly discussed her own struggles with dyslexia while growing up, infusing her books with a powerful message that “we all have a gift… find out what it is and shine.”
A Deeply Close-Knit Family Bond
The three siblings—Michael, Crystal, and Brandee—were raised by their parents, Lewis and Amber Bublé, and maintain a highly supportive relationship. This bond was profoundly tested and underscored during the most challenging chapter of the family’s life: the diagnosis of Michael’s eldest son, Noah, with cancer in 2016. Michael took a complete hiatus from his global music career, and the entire Bublé clan rallied around his family, demonstrating their unwavering commitment to each other beyond the spotlight.
The success of the Bublé siblings in music, acting, and literature offers a rare look at a famous family that thrives across diverse professional fields while remaining grounded in their private, close-knit relationship.
