Introduction

Nelly Kim Furtado (born December 2, 1978) is a Canadian singer, songwriter, record producer, and instrumentalist, who also holds Portuguese citizenship.

Life Story

She first became famous 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 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”, “All Good Things (Come to an End)”, and “Do It.”

Furtado is known for experimenting with different instruments, sounds, genres, languages, and vocal styles. This diversity has been influenced by her wide-ranging musical taste and her interest in different cultures.

On September 20, 2003 in Toronto, Furtado gave birth to a daughter, Nevis, whose father is DJ Jasper Gahunia. Furtado and Gahunia, who had been good friends for several years, remained together for four years until their breakup in 2005. Furtado told Blender magazine that they continue to be good friends and jointly share responsibility of raising Nevis. Nevis is ethnically a quarter Filipino, a quarter Asian Indian, and half Portuguese.

In June 2006, in an interview with Genre magazine, when asked if she had “ever felt an attraction to women”, Furtado replied “Absolutely. Women are beautiful and sexy.” Some considered this an announcement of bisexuality, but in August 2006, she confirmed that she was “straight, but very open-minded”. In November 2006, Furtado revealed that she once turned down US$500,000 to pose nude in Playboy.

In July 2007, it was reported that Furtado is engaged to Cuban sound engineer, Demacio “Demo” Castellon, who worked with her on Loose. On September 9, 2007, Furtado performed at the MTV Video Music Awards awards with Timbaland and Justin Timberlake, where she sang Do It mixed with The Way I Are, LoveStoned and Give It to Me.

Introduction

Is she punk? Is she rock? Is she pop? Who cares? The Canadian singer has had a slew of hit singles of the past five years, most recently with the song “Girlfriend” which is probably playing on the radio right at this moment. She was discovered while singing church songs in Canada and, in 1998, was asked to perform onstage with fellow Canuk Shania Twain. A year later, she dropped out of high school after signing a record deal with Arista Recrods.

Her first album, Let Go, featured the breakout hits “Complicated” and “Sk8r Boi.” These hits helped make Let Go sell an impressive 14 million copies. She was also awarded MTV’s Video Music Award for Best New Artist and was nominated for five Grammy awards, including Song of the Year.

Her follow-up effort, Under My Skin, was released in 2005. She released her third album, The Best Damn, thing in 2007, and the first single from the record, “Girlfriend” became her first number one song on the Billboard charts. The success of that song also brought controversy, as some music fans noticed striking similarities between “Girlfriend” and a 1979 song “I Want to be Your Boyfriend” originally performed by the Rubinoos. Lavigne publicly dismissed these allegations, claiming she had never heard of the Rubinoos.

Lavgine has also attempted acting, adding her voice to the animated film Over the Hedge in 2006. Her next film will be a thriller called The Flock (Claire Danes).
