Nelly Furtado is a Portuguese-Canadian singer-songwriter, born on December 2, 1978, in Victoria, British Columbia. Known for her versatile vocal style and genre-blending sound, she rose to fame with her 2000 debut Whoa, Nelly!, featuring hits like “I’m Like a Bird” and “Turn Off the Light”, which earned her Grammy success and a devoted global fanbase .
After a musical hiatus, she returned with her seventh studio album 7, released in September 2024. Debuting after seven years and drawing on a wealth of creativity (over 400 songs!), the album brings fresh collaborations such as “Love Bites” with Tove Lo & SG Lewis and “Corazón” with Bomba Estéreo, showcasing her renewed energy and evolution as an artist.
In 2025, Nelly has been an active presence on the festival circuit. She kicked off the year with a standout performance at the Invictus Games opening ceremony in Vancouver, earning praise—and sparking buzz after a lighthearted moment with Meghan Markle and Prince Harry. She’s also booked for several high-profile summer festivals in Europe, including the All Together Now Festival in Ireland and the Boardmasters Festival in the UK.
Nelly’s social media posts reveal a strong message for 2025: embrace self-love and body neutrality. She’s shared candid bikini selfies, promoted authentic beauty routines (like hydration, sleep posture, and makeup tips), and emphasized confidence without filters or surgery.
Looking forward, she has announced more UK/EU summer tour dates, teasing intimate and electrifying live sets—mixing acoustic intimacy with full-stage energy. Fans can expect a dynamic experience that spans her classic hits and newer material from 7.
