Questions for Nelly Furtado
Who is your
favourite Simpson character?
I have to
admit that I relate the most to Lisa, because she played in her high school
band, just like me, although I played trombone, and she plays sax. Lisa has
some of the same characteristics that I had in high school.
We noticed
a pretty phat drum’n’bass break in on your LP… is it a stylistic influence?
I have been
involved in street and urban sounds and culture since I was a young
fourteen-year-old watching DJ’s spin records. I had a trip-hop group named Nelstar
when I was seventeen… I’ve done house tracks, ambient stuff, rare groove improve,
drum and bass, and I’ve even written rhymes. I intend to learn how to be a
turntablist next, we will see. Basically, I am obsessed with drum machines,
samplers and synthesizers, but I love traditional instruments too!
What’s your
most embarrassing moment?
When, at
age four, while rehearsing for a Portugal Day celebration, I, along with the Portuguese
school choir, peed my pants and let it create a big puddle around my feet! I
was in the front row! I waited until the end of the song to run to the
washroom. Can you guess what the song was about? Rainfall!
Do you have
a nickname?
A lot of my
friends call me “Nel”, but my alias is “Nelstar” and a lot of my friends call
me that too, especially musical ones.
