Answer 2

Nelly Kim Furtado (born December 2, 1978) is a Canadian singer-songwriter, instrumentalist, and record producer.

Early years and influences
Furtado, a first-generation Portuguese Canadian, was born in Victoria, British Columbia as one of three children to Maria Manuela and António José Furtado, Portuguese immigrants from São Miguel Island in the Azores. She was named after Soviet gymnast Nellie Kim.

Furtado's parents emigrated from Portugal to Canada in the late 1970s.[3] She has stated that visiting her parents' birthplace, the Azores islands, as a child experiencing its culture and learning the Portuguese language has made her an open-minded person.[1] This has strongly influenced her artistry as she has incorporated many cross-cultural sounds into her music. It is also evident in her multilingualism as she can speak English, Portuguese, and Spanish.[1] Furtado has acknowledged her parents as the source of her strong work ethic; she spent eight summers working as a chambermaid with her mother, who was a housekeeper in Victoria.[4] She has stated that coming from a working class background has shaped her identity in a positive way.[1] She has also said that her Roman Catholic background and attending church was "a big part of [her] life".[5]
