Nelly Furtado tickets, news, photos, and concert videos

Victoria, British Columbia native Nelly Furtado got her start performing with underground rappers and DJs. While still in high school, Furtado met Tallis Newkirk, member of the hip hop group, Crazy Cheese, during a summer visit to Toronto. She contributed vocals to their 1996 album, “Join the Ranks”, on the track "Waitin' 4 the Streets". After graduating from Mount Douglas Secondary School in 1996, she moved to Toronto and performed at the 1997 Honey Jam, an "all-female urban" talent show. 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 produce a demo. The material recorded during these sessions led to her 1999 record deal with DreamWorks Records. Furtado's first single, "Party's Just Begun (Again)", was released that year on the Brokedown Palace: Music from the Original Motion Picture Soundtrack.

Following the release of her debut album, “Whoa Nelly”, Furtado headlined the Burn in the Spotlight tour and also appeared on Moby's Area:One tour. The album was an international success, supported by three international singles, "I'm like a Bird", "Turn off the Light", and "...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 second album, “Folklore”, was released in November 2003, followed by her third album, “Loose”, in June 2006. “Loose” has become the most successful album of Furtado's career so far. It reached number one in several countries including the United States and Canada, and it included the hit singles "Promiscuous", "Maneater", "Te Busqué", "Say It Right", and "All Good Things (Come to an End)".
