It's almost impossible to glean any insight into the Grammy-winning producer behind the biggest hits of Celine Dion, Josh Groban and more.
. There’s a steady rhythm to the anecdotes: His collaborators are quick to paint a magnanimous portrait of his genius and then Foster pats himself on the back detailing the backstories.

In reality, she recorded it for heralbum when she was already an established star. And “Unbreak My Heart” came after his output on not before. He also gives a short shrift to his many collaborations with his then-wife, Linda Thompson.

Per the complicated family tree, he also has a loose connection to all those Kardashian and Jenner girls.
