Nelly Kim Furtado ComIH (/fərˈtɑːd/ fər-TAH-doh; Portuguese: [fuɾˈtaðu]; born December 2, 1978) is a Canadian singer and songwriter. She has sold over 45 million records, including 35 million in album sales worldwide,[6] making her one of the most successful Canadian artists. Critics have noted Furtado's musical versatility and experimentation with genres.[7][8][9][10]

Furtado first gained fame with her

Best Female Pop Vocal Performance. Furtado's introspective folk-heavy 2003 second album, Folklore, explored her Portuguese roots. Its singles received moderate success in Europe, but the album's underperformance compared to her debut was regarded as a sophomore slump
.

Furtado's third album, Loose (2006), was a smash hit and became her bestselling album, with more than 10 million copies sold worldwide, also making it one of the bestselling albums of the 2000s.[11][12] Considered a radical image reinvention, the album spawned four successful number-one singles worldwide: "Promiscuous" (featuring Timbaland), "Maneater", "Say It Right", and "All Good Things (Come to an End)". Her 2007 feature on Timbaland's "Give It to Me" in the same era also topped the charts in the US and overseas. Furtado's critically acclaimed duet with James Morrison, "Broken Strings", also topped the charts in Europe in 2008.[13]

She released her first Spanish-language album,

Latin Grammy Award for Best Female Pop Vocal Album. In 2012, Furtado released her nostalgia-inspired fifth album The Spirit Indestructible. Furtado split with her management and went independent thereafter, releasing her indie-pop sixth album, The Ride, in 2017 under her own label Nelstar Entertainment
.

Early life

Furtado was born on December 2, 1978, in

Roman Catholic.[19][20] At age four, she began performing and singing in Portuguese.[17][21] Furtado's first public performance was when she sang a duet with her mother at a church on Portugal Day. She began playing musical instruments at the age of nine, learning the trombone, ukulele and, in later years, the guitar and keyboards. At the age of 12, she began writing songs,[19] and as a teenager, she performed in a Portuguese marching band.[18] Furtado has acknowledged her family as the source of her strong work ethic; she spent eight summers working as a chambermaid with her mother, along with her brother and sister, who was a housekeeper in Victoria.[22]

Career

1996–1999: Career beginnings

After graduating from Mount Douglas Secondary School in 1996, she moved to Toronto to reside with her sister. There, she got a full-time job at an alarm company.[23] Later, she would meet Tallis Newkirk, member of the hip hop group Plains of Fascination.[23] She contributed vocals to their 1996 album, Join the Ranks, on the track "Waitin' 4 the Streets".[24] The following year, she formed Nelstar, a 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.[24] She left the group and planned to move back home.

In 1997, she performed at the Honey Jam talent show.

Party's Just Begun (Again)", was released that year on the soundtrack album for Brokedown Palace
(1999).

2000–2005: Whoa, Nelly! and Folklore

Furtado continued the collaboration with Eaton and West, who co-produced her debut album,

...On the Radio (Remember the Days)". It received four Grammy nominations in 2002, and her debut single won for Best Female Pop Vocal Performance. Furtado's work was also critically acclaimed for her innovative mixture of various genres and sounds. Slant Magazine called the album "a delightful and refreshing antidote to the army of 'pop princesses' and rap-metal bands that had taken over popular music at the turn of the millennium".[27] The sound of the album was strongly influenced by musicians who had traversed cultures and "the challenge of making heartfelt, emotional music that's upbeat and hopeful".[28] According to Maclean's magazine, Whoa, Nelly! had sold six million copies worldwide as of August 2006.[29] Portions of the song "Scared of You" are in Portuguese, while "Onde Estás" is entirely in Portuguese, reflecting Furtado's Portuguese heritage.[18] Following the release of the album, Furtado headlined the "Burn in the Spotlight Tour" and also appeared on Moby's Area:One
tour.

In 2002, Furtado appeared on the song "Thin Line", on

SOCAN Awards in Toronto for her song "I'm Like a Bird".[31]

Furtado's second album,

final of the tournament, in which Portugal's national team played.[32] The lead single released was "Powerless (Say What You Want)" and the second single was the ballad "Try". The album was not as successful as her debut, partly due to the album's less "poppy" sound,[33] as well as underpromotion from her label DreamWorks Records. DreamWorks had just been sold to Universal Music Group at the time of the album's release. Eventually in 2005, DreamWorks Records, along with many of its artists, including Furtado, were absorbed into Geffen Records. "Powerless (Say What You Want)" was later remixed into a Spanish version called "Abre Tu Corazón", featuring Juanes, who had previously worked with Furtado on his track "Fotografía". The two would collaborate again on "Te Busqué" (I Searched for You), a single from Furtado's 2006 album Loose.[34] In 2003, Furtado won an International Achievement Award at the SOCAN Awards in Toronto for her song "Turn Off the Light".[31]

2006–2008: Loose

Furtado's third album, named Loose, after the spontaneous, creative decisions she made while creating the album, was released in June 2006.[35][36] In this album, primarily produced by Timbaland, Furtado experiments with sounds from R&B, hip hop, and 1980s music.[37] Furtado herself describes the album's sound as punk-hop, described as "modern, poppy, spooky" and as having "a mysterious, after-midnight vibe... extremely visceral".[35] She attributed the youthful sound of the album to the presence of her two-year-old daughter.[37] The album received generally positive reviews from critics,[38] with some citing the "revitalising" effect of Timbaland on Furtado's music,[39][40] and others calling it "slick, smart and surprising".[41]

Loose has become the most successful album of Furtado's career so far, as it reached number one, not only in Canada and the United States, but also several countries worldwide. The album produced her first number-one hit in the United States, "

Loose the Concert.[43] On April 1, 2007, Furtado was a performer and host of the 2007 Juno Awards in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan. She won all five awards for which she was nominated, including Album of the Year and Single of the Year. She also appeared on stage at the Concert for Diana at Wembley Stadium
in London on July 1, 2007, where she performed "Say It Right", "Maneater", and "I'm Like a Bird".
