Bio

Nelly Furtado, née le 2 décembre 1978 à Victoria, en Colombie-Britannique (Canada), est une autrice-compositrice-interprète, musicienne et actrice canado-portugaise. Furtado se fait d'abord connaître avec son premier album studio inspiré du trip hop, Whoa, Nelly! (2000), qui remporte un succès critique et commercial, et donne naissance à deux singles classés dans le top 10 du Billboard Hot 100, I'm Like a Bird et Turn Off the Light. Le premier lui vaut un Grammy Award dans la catégorie « meilleure performance vocale pop féminine ». Le deuxième album studio de Furtado, Folklore, sorti en 2003, est un album introspectif aux accents folk qui explore ses racines portugaises. Ses singles connaissent un succès modéré en Europe, mais les résultats décevants de l'album par rapport à son premier opus sont considérés comme un deuxième échec.

Elle remporte de nombreux prix tout au long de sa carrière, dont un Grammy Award sur sept nominations, un Latin Grammy Award, dix prix Juno, un BRIT Award, un Billboard Music Award, un MTV Europe Music Award, un World Music Award et trois Much Music Video Awards. Furtado possède sa propre étoile sur l'Allée des célébrités canadiennes et est décorée de l'ordre de l'Infant Dom Henri le 28 février 2014 par Aníbal Cavaco Silva, alors président du Portugal.

Nelly Kim Furtado (born December 2, 1978) is a Canadian singer and songwriter. She has sold over 45 million records, including 35 million in album sales worldwide, making her one of the most successful Canadian artists. Critics have noted Furtado's musical versatility and experimentation with genres.

Furtado rose to prominence with her trip hop-influenced debut studio album, Whoa, Nelly! (2000), which was a critical and commercial success and spawned the top-10 Billboard Hot 100 singles "I'm Like a Bird" and "Turn Off the Light". The former track earned her a Grammy Award for Best Female Pop Vocal Performance. She followed it with the more introspective, folk-oriented Folklore (2003), which drew on her Portuguese heritage and performed less successfully than her debut.

Her third studio album, Loose (2006), sold over 10 million copies worldwide, becoming her best-selling release and one of the best-selling albums of the 21st century. Marked by a reinvention of her image and sound, the album produced the worldwide number-one singles "Promiscuous" (featuring Timbaland), "Maneater", "Say It Right", and "All Good Things (Come to an End)". During this period, she also featured alongside Justin Timberlake on Timbaland's "Give It to Me" (2007) and recorded the European hit duet "Broken Strings" with James Morrison (2008).

Furtado later released Mi Plan (2009), a Spanish-language album, which won the Latin Grammy Award for Best Female Pop Vocal Album, followed by The Spirit Indestructible (2012). After becoming independent, she released The Ride (2017) through her own label, Nelstar Entertainment [pt], and 7 (2024). Throughout her career, she has received numerous accolades, including one Grammy Award from seven nominations, one Latin Grammy Award, ten Juno Awards, one Brit Award, one Billboard Music Award, one MTV Europe Music Award, one World Music Award, and three MuchMusic Video Awards. She also has a star on Canada's Walk of Fame and was appointed a Commander of the Order of Prince Henry in 2014.
