Nelly Furtado is a Canadian singer-songwriter from Victoria, British Columbia, who began her recording career in the late 1990s and is primarily associated with pop, folk and R&B music. Her work blends pop with folk, worldbeat, R&B and hip-hop elements and later incorporated electronic and Latin influences, moving between acoustic singer-songwriter material and more heavily produced, dance-oriented tracks while engaging with cross-cultural sounds in mainstream pop.
