Nelly Furtado - Canadian author / composer / interprets.
Nelly Furtado was born on December 2, 1980 in Victoria (the capital of British Columbia in Canada) from Portuguese parents. Nelly Furtado's parents named her “Nelly” because of the Russian gymnastics champion Nelly Kim, who won 5 gold medals (3 in 1976 and 2 in 1980) and 1 silver (in 1976) at the Olympics.
Nelly Furtado learned to play the trombone, guitar and ukulele at the age of 9 years and the synthesizer at the age of 11 years. Passionate music from an early age, Nelly Furtado already knows at the age of 4, she wants to become a singer. Nelly Furtado sang with her mother in the choir, especially during the national day of Portugal. Nelly Furtado speaks fluent Portuguese, English, Hindi and Spanish.
Since she is a teenager, Nelly Furtado begins to write songs and belong to a brass band. During this period, Nelli Furtado listens to R & B, hip-hop, alternative rock, alternative hip-hop, trip-hop, fado, bossa nova and indian music. Artists whom Nellie Furtado loved (and influenced her) - Jeff Buckley, Caetano Veloso, Amalia Rodriguez, Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan, Cornershop, Mariah Carey, TLC, Mary J. Blige, Digital Planets, De La Dusha, Radiohead, Oasis , Smashing Pumpkins, The Verve, U2 and Beck.
Nelly Furtado thanks her parents for teaching her hard work and ethics. Indeed, Nelly Furtado spent 8 years working as a maid with her mother. Nelly Furtado states that a way out of this background had a positive effect on the formation of her personality.
During a visit to Toronto last summer, Nelli Furtado met Tallis Newkirk, a member of the hip-hop group called “Plains of Fascination” and contributed to their album in 1996 “Join the titles” by the name “Waitin & # 39; 4 The Streets. After achieving her studies at Mount Douglas High School in 1996, Nelly Furtado goes to Toronto, where in 1997 she finally formed the duet / group Nelstar in Newkirka. The experience led her to her influence and allowed her to be more confident in writing her melodies and rhymes. After “Like”, one of the Nelstar songs, received a subvention from VideoFACT to cover the production of the clip, Nelly Furtado appreciated that the duet does not reflect its individuality and does not allow them to demonstrate their vocal competencies. Therefore, Nelly Furtado leaves the band with the idea of returning to Victoria.
Before leaving, Nelly Furtado decides to take part in a contest (quite famous at the time), "Honey Jam", which takes place in the Palace of Lee, a nightclub. Impressed with her performance, singer Gerald Eaton (Alias Jarvis Church) from the group (The Philosopher Kings) offers Nelly Furtado collaboration. This leads the sample with the participation of another member of The Philosopher Kings, Brian West. But Nelly Furtado goes to Europe and wants to go to university to take courses in writing. Finally, Nelly Furtado returns with them and signs a contract in 1999 with DreamWorks Records.
Nelly Furtado continues to work with Eton and the West, who are jointly creating their album “Whoa, Nelly!”. (.... On the radio (Remember the days), Baby Girl, Hey, Man !, I will do a U Cry, I like the Bird, Legend, My love gets deeper Part 1, The Party, Frightened You, Trynna Finda Way, Turn Off The Light, Well, Well), released in October 2000. Success comes from singles like Like Bird, Turn Off The Light and ... On The Radio. The album Nelly Furtado was nominated 4 times at the Grammy Awards in 2002. But Nelly Furtado received only the award “Best female pop vocal action” for her first single “I Like a Bird”. In addition, Nelly Furtado received a good critic for her innovative combination of different styles with different sounds. Then Nelly Furtado made the tour "Burn in the Spotlight", as well as Moby, "Area: One".
The second album, "Folklore" ("Build you", "Dreams of childhood", "Explode", "Fork", "Fresh on the boat", "The Island of Wonderland", "One Trick", "The Perfect Movie", "Useless" ( “Tell me what you want”), “Saturday”, “Grass Green”, Try), released in November 2003. The album presents a more varied sounds, more rock approach, acoustic approach. As Nelly Furtado focused more on writing, BBC calculated that her first album had more originality. Nelli Furtado attributed the maturity of her album to the fact that she was pregnant most of the time.
Her title Força (which means courage and strength in Portuguese), which on her album Folkore was used for the European Football Championship in 2004, which took place in Portugal, in Lisbon. During the final was performed by Force. However, Dreamworks Records sold Universal Music during the release of the album Nelly Furtado, and therefore was not promoted. In 2005, Nelly Furtado took Geffen Records, because Dreamworks is definitely closing.
Nelly Furtado should soon be seen in an independent Iraq war movie. The film is called Hero Nobody. But Nelly Furtado also produced “Loose” at the same time as on the set. Nelly Furtado also tried to make a Hindi film, but he did not.

Chris Martin, the leader of Coldplay, was supposed to appear in the song “All good things (come and end)”, but this did not happen, which caused regret for the singer. Nelly Furtado also collaborated with Juanes on her song “Te Busque,” which we can also find in Spanish. Nelly Furtado has already performed a duet with him by the name “Fotografia” from the album “Un Dia Normal” by the singer Colombia.
