Solista-compozitor Nelly Furtado, s-a nascut pe 2 decembrie 1978 si a crescut in orasul Victoria din Canada. Parintii ei, niste portughezi cumsecade din clasa de mijloc, au educat-o in spiritul muncii. Ea si-a petrecut opt veri lucrand ca iubită de serviciu alaturi de mama sa. Catre muzica s-a indreptat mai mult pentru distractie, ea invatand sa cante la chitara pentru a-si distra prietenii. Obisnuia sa asculte muzica R&B, printre cantaretii ei favoriti numarandu-se Mariah Carey, TLC, Jodeci, Salt-N-Pepa si Bell Biv DeVoe. Mai apoi a studiat amanuntit colectia fratilor ei mai mari, care cuprindea Radiohead, Pulp, Oasis, Portishead, the Verve si U2. Staruitoare, Nelly Furtado a imbratisat si alte genuri muzicale, in special muzica braziliana si compozitii ale lui Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan si ale Amaliei Rodrigues. Hip-hopul a avut, de asemenea, o mare contributie la configurarea stilului muzical pe care-l practica Nelly astazi. Dupa terminarea liceului, ea a locuit in Toronto unde lucra pentru o companie in timpul zilei si canta in timpul noptii. Ea a intrat intr-o formatie de hip-hop, Nelstar, acest fapt dandu-i ocazia sa-si compuna propriile melodii si ritmuri freestyle.Cand a inceput sa cante la un club din Toronto, aspiratiile ei muzicale au inceput sa prinda contur. Brian West si Gerald Eaton, din grupul funk-pop canadian Philosopher Kings au fost extraordinar de impresionati de prestatia ei muzicala si i-au facut propunerea de a-i cauzează un demo. In 2 000 ea compus si lansat emotionanta melodie „Whoa, Nelly!”. Un turneu prin U.S. in primavara lui 2 001 a aprins interesul publicului si al criticilor. Melodii ca de exemplu "I'm Like a Bird" si "Turn Off the Light" au devenit single-uri. Cea mai mare realizare a lui Nelly Furtado a avut loc un an mai tarziu, cand a castigat premiul Grammy pentru cea mai buna voce pop feminina. Albumul Folklore a aparut in noiembrie 2003, la doua luni dupa ce Furtado a dat nastere primului sau copil, o fetita pe nume Nevis. Albumul a fost o mare dezamagire comparativ cu ceea ce reusise sa faca pana atunci. Pana in vara lui 2006, cand a scos cel de-al treilea album intitulat „Lost” nu a mai avut performante notabile. Creat aproape in intregime de Timbland si fiind mai apropiat de stilul momentului, albumul a captat atentia si a ajutat-o pe Nelly Furtado sa-si relanseze cariera. |

Nelly Kim Furtado (born December 2, 1978) is a Canadian singer, songwriter, record producer, and instrumentalist, of Portuguese descent.
Furtado came to fame in 2000 with the release of her debut album Whoa, Nelly!, which featured her breakthrough Grammy Award-winning single "I'm like a Bird". After becoming a mother and after releasing the less commercially successful Folklore (2003), she returned to prominence in 2006 with the release of Loose and its hit singles "Promiscuous", "Maneater", "Say It Right", and "All Good Things (Come to an End)". She has sold over fifteen million albums worldwide.[citation needed] Furtado is known for experimenting with different instruments, sounds, genres, languages, and nasal vocal styles. This diversity has been influenced by her wide-ranging musical taste and her interest in different cultures. Early years Nelly Furtado was born in Victoria, British Columbia to Portuguese immigrants from Azores, Maria Manuela and António José Furtado.[3] She was named after Soviet gymnast Nellie Kim.[1] Furtado first sang at the age of four when she performed a duet with her mother at a church on Portugal Day.[1] She began playing instruments at the age of nine, learning the trombone, ukulele and, in later years, the guitar and keyboard. At the age of twelve, she began writing songs,[1] and as a teenager, she performed in a Portuguese marching band.[3] The first musicians Furtado interacted with were underground rappers and DJs.[4] At the end of the summer of 11th grade during a visit to Toronto, Furtado met Tallis Newkirk, member of the hip hop group, Crazy Cheese. She contributed vocals to their 1996 album, Join the Ranks, on the track "Waitin' 4 the Streets".[5] After graduating from Mount Douglas Secondary School in 1996, she moved to Toronto. The following year, she formed Nelstar, the trip hop duo with Newkirk. Ultimately, Furtado felt the trip-hop style of the duo was "too segregated" and believed it did not represent her personality or allow her to showcase her vocal ability.[5] She left the group and planned to move back home. Before moving, however, she performed at the 1997 Honey Jam, an "all-female urban" talent show.[5][6] Her performance attracted the attention of The Philosopher Kings singer Gerald Eaton (aka Jarvis Church), who then approached her to write with him. He and fellow Kings member, Brian West, helped Furtado cauzează a demo. She left Toronto, but returned again to record more material with Eaton and West. The material recorded during these sessions led to her 1999 record deal with DreamWorks Records.[2] Furtado's first single, "Party's Just Begun (Again)", was released that year on the Brokedown Palace: Music from the Autentic Motion Picture Soundtrack. ![]() |
