Biography

Brian West and Gerald Eaton of the Philosopher Kings were instantly impressed by Nelly Furtado's sense of performing and asked to produce her demo. During those sessions, Furtado created some of the moving work that landed on her debut, Whoa, Nelly!, released in 2000. She earned four Grammy nods, including Song of the Year for "I'm Like a Bird." Folklore (2003) was a disappointment, failing to capitalize on the success of her previous work. Loose (2006), produced almost entirely by Timbaland, earned significant attention and became Furtado's first-ever number one album. ~ MacKenzie Wilson
