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.
