Nelly Furtado worked in music at a period when the art was changing shape around them.
The record lists Nelly Furtado as Portuguese-Canadian singer and songwriter.
Nelly Furtado was born at Victoria in 1978. Her recorded nationality is Portugal. She trained at Mount Douglas Secondary School.
Amplification, television and the album as an art form defined this period, and the record industry reached its greatest scale.
She worked as singer, musicologist and actor.
The instruments recorded are guitar, keyboard instrument and piano.
Her work is classed as pop music, rhythm and blues and traditional folk music.
A musical reputation rests on a handful of works that refuse to date.
The honours record reads: Commander of the Order of Prince Henry (2014), Grammy Award for Best Female Pop Vocal Performance (2001) and Latin Grammy Award for Best Female Pop Vocal Album (2010).
That the work came out of Portugal shaped it: musical traditions, training institutions and the reach of a recording industry all differ by country.
Nelly Furtado is still performing or recording, and the shape of the career is not yet settled.
