-Elle apprit à jouer du [[trombone]], de la [[guitare]] et du [[ukulélé]] à l'âge de neuf ans et du [[synthétiseur]] à 11 ans. Passionnée de musique dès son plus jeune âge, elle sait dès l'âge de 4 ans qu'elle veut devenir chanteuse. Nelly chantait avec sa mère dans une [[chorale]], surtout lors de la fête nationale du [[Portugal]]. +===Early years===
-Dès l'adolescence, elle commence à écrire des chansons et fait alors partie d'une fanfare portugaise. Durant cette période, elle écoutait du [[R&B]], du [[hip hop]], de l'[[alternative rock]], de l'[[alternative hip-hop]], [[trip hop]], du [[fado]], de la [[bossa nova]], de la musique indienne et de la variété. Les artistes que Nelly aimait (et qui l'ont influencée) sont [[Jeff Buckley]], [[Caetano Veloso]], [[Amalia Rodrigues]], [[Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan]], [[Cornershop]], [[Mariah Carey]], [[TLC]], [[Mary J. Blige]], [[Digable Planets]], [[De La Soul]], [[Radiohead]], [[Oasis (groupe)|Oasis]], [[The Smashing Pumpkins]], [[The Verve]], [[U2 (groupe)|U2]], et [[Beck Hansen|Beck]].+Nelly Furtado was named after [[Soviet Union|Soviet]] [[gymnast]] [[Nellie Kim]].<ref name=ym/> Raised in a [[Roman Catholic]] home, Furtado first sang at the age of four when she performed a duet with her mother at a church on [[Portugal Day]]. Although remaining unclear about her religious beliefs, she still affirms a belief in God, the Ten Commandments, and in avoiding the [[Seven Sins]].<ref name=ym/><ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.rollingstone.com/artists/nellyfurtado/articles/story/5931858/fly_girl|title=Fly Girl|work=Rolling Stone}}</ref> She began playing instruments at the age of nine, learning the [[trombone]], [[ukulele]] and, in later years, the [[guitar]] and [[keyboard instrument|keyboards]]. At the age of twelve, she began writing songs,<ref name=ym/> and as a teenager, she performed in a Portuguese [[marching band]].<ref name=rsjan01/>
 +Furtado has acknowledged her family as the source of her strong work ethic; she spent eight summers working as a [[chambermaid]] with her mother, who was a [[Housekeeper (servant)|housekeeper]] in Victoria.<ref name=amg> {{cite web|url=http://www.allmusicguide.com/cg/amg.dll?p=amg&sql=11:lcaxlfjekcqe~T1|title=Nelly Furtado Biography|work=All Music Guide|accessdate=27 May|accessyear=2006}}</ref> She has stated that coming from a working class background has shaped her identity in a positive way.<ref name=ym/><ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.rollingstone.com/artists/nellyfurtado/articles/story/5931858/fly_girl|title=Fly Girl |work=Rolling Stone|accessdate=16 Aug|accessyear=2001}}</ref>

She contributed vocals to their 1996 album, ''Join the Ranks'', on the track "Waitin' 4 the Streets".<ref name=nelstar> {{cite web |url=http://www.nelstar-project.com/about/nelstar|title=Nelstar* (Nelly Furtado) Biography|work=Nelstar-Project.com|accessdate=9 December |accessyear=2005}}

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.<ref name=nelstar/> She left the group and planned to move back home.
-Lors d'une visite à Toronto, durant l’été, elle rencontra Tallis Newkirk, membre du groupe de [[hip hop]] "Plains of Fascination" et contribua à leur album ''Join the Ranks'' (1996) sur le titre ''Waitin' 4 The Streets''. Après l'achèvement d'études au Mount Douglas Secondary School en [[1996]], elle part pour [[Toronto]] où elle forma finalement avec Newkirk le duo/groupe Nelstar, en [[1997]]. L'expérience la ramena à ses influences et lui permit d'être plus à l'aise avec l'écriture de ses propres mélodies et rimes. Bien que, ''Like'', une des chansons de Nelstar, ait reçu une subvention de [[VideoFACT]] pour la production d'un clip, Nelly estima que le duo ne représentait pas sa personnalité et ne lui permettait pas de montrer ses compétences vocales. Elle quitta donc le groupe et avait dans l'idée de rentrer à [[Victoria (Colombie-Britannique)|Victoria]].+Before moving, however, she performed at the 1997 Honey Jam, an "all-female urban" talent show.<ref name=nelstar/><ref name=honeyjam>{{cite web |url = http://www.chartattack.com/damn/2003/05/2705.cfm | title = Honey Jam Searches for Urban Women | work = ChartAttack | date = [[2003-05-27]]}}

He and fellow Kings member [[Brian West]] helped Furtado produce a [[Demo (music)|demo]]. She left Toronto, but returned again to record more material with Eaton and West. The material recorded during these sessions led to her 1999 record deal with [[DreamWorks Records]].<ref name=mm/> Furtado's first single, "[[Party's Just Begun (Again)]]", was released that year on the ''[[Brokedown Palace: Music from the Original Motion Picture Soundtrack]]''.
-Avant de partir, elle décide de participer au ''Honey Jam'', un concours assez célèbre à l'époque qui se déroule au nightclub Lee's Palace. Impressionné par sa prestation, le chanteur [[Gerald Eaton]] (''alias'' Jarvis Church) du groupe [[The Philosopher Kings]] lui propose une collaboration qui aboutira sur une démo avec la participation de [[Brian West]], un autre membre de The Philosopher Kings. Cependant, elle décida de parcourir l'[[Europe]] et voulait aller à l'université pour suivre des cours d'écriture. Finalement, elle revint travailler avec eux et signa un contrat en [[1999]] avec [[DreamWorks Records]].+===2000–2002: ''Whoa, Nelly!'' and early success===

-{{Article détaillé|Folklore (album Nelly Furtado)}}+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."<ref name=slant74>
-Le second opus, ''[[Folklore (album Nelly Furtado)|Folklore]]'', sortit en novembre 2003. Le titre provient de l'immigration de ses parents au [[Canada]]. Elle dit : « Quand je regarde mes vieux albums photos, je vois les images de leur maison toute neuve, leur nouvelle voiture, leurs premières expériences allant aux endroits typiquement [[États-Unis|américain]] comme Kmart (grande surface). Quand vous l'avez dans votre sang, vous n'en faite jamais vraiment partie- cela devient votre [[folklore]] personnel propre. » L'album a aussi montré des sons divers, mais avec une approche plus [[rock]], une approche acoustique. Comme elle s'est concentrée plus sur l'écriture, la [[BBC]] estima qu'il avait deux fois plus d'originalité que dans son premier opus.Nelly Furtado attribua la maturité de l'album au fait qu'elle était enceinte pendant la plupart de son enregistrement.+{{cite web |url=http://www.slantmagazine.com/music/music_review.asp?ID=74|title=Whoa, Nelly!|work=Slant|accessdate=28 May|accessyear=2006}}

Elle l'a chanté lors de la finale. Cependant DreamWorks Records est vendu à [[Universal Music]] lors de la sortie de l'album et c'est pourquoi il n'y a pas eu beaucoup de promo. En 2005, elle est prise par [[Geffen Records]] car DreamWorks Records ferme définitivement.+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."<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.maplemusic.com/artists/nfu/bio.asp|title=Nelly Furtado Biography|work=MapleMusic|accessdaymonth=27 May |accessyear=2006}}</ref>.
