Nelly Kim Furtado is a well-known Canadian singer, songwriter, instrumentalist, and record producer. She was born in Victoria, British Columbia on 2nd December 1978. She was the daughter of Portuguese immigrants from the Azores, António José Furtado and Maria Manuela. At the age of four Furtado first sang a duet with her mother at a church on Portugal Day.
She started playing instruments at an age of nine. Initially she practiced with trombone and ukulele. Later on, she mastered the guitar and keyboard and by 12 she had started writing songs. She also performed for Portuguese marching band in her teens.
She recognizes her family as her source of strict work ethic – she worked as a housemaid with her mother for eight summers. Having a working class was merit all through her professional career.
In one of her visits to Toronto, Furtado met Tallis Newkirk (Crazy Cheese) a member of hip-hop group. In 1996, she sung in their album Join the Ranks on the track "Waitin' 4 the Streets". Ultimately, she joined Newkirk to form Nelstar, a trip hop duo. One of her performances in Honey Jam an "all-female urban" talent show impressed singer Gerald Eaton (aka Jarvis Church). He approached her to write for him. However, she left the group soon to showcase her vocal potential.
In 2000, her debut album Whoa, Nelly! co-produced by Eaton and West was released. The album was an international hit with three international singles...

"He ain't going nowhere... he can't be stopped cos he's bad boy for life." He was J Lo's boyfriend for quite a time (lucky wretch) and was a Grammy Winner. And to all the women celebs who find it a fashion to run a clothing line, he's no lesser. In fact, he's unmatchable with two restaurants, one record label and two clothing lines to his credit.
Yes of course we're talking about yet another celebrity whose real name is so much less popular in the world of showbiz - Sean John Combs a.k.a. Puff Daddy (which later got ghetto-morphed into P.Diddy). By Ghetto, here we only mean the ebony paradise and not a slum ambiance for this much-under-criticism Hip-hop legend is worth USD350 million or more with a list of achievements which can tread as long as the controversies do. Allegations of links with Mafia, assault of a production house staff and more hullabaloos only made him all the more popular as a performer. His ex-girlie Kim Porter, already a mother of a son through Al B Sure, delivered off twin girls. P Diddy has a son through an earlier relationship with Misa Hylton-Brim. Sure, his children and her children will be playing with their children.
By the way, no prizes for guessing the first line of this write-up is from a song featuring this living Gift to the world of Music. Yea... that's the same song featuring Ben Stiller at the climax of the video.
