Nelly Furtado chats to I Like Music
ILM: You write gorgeous melodies and great lyrics. Can you please describe the Nelly Furtado process of writing such bloody good music please?
NELLY: Thanks. I don’t know. I’ve been writing songs since I was a little girl. When I first wrote a song I didn’t even know how to read or write. I was like four just singing songs off the top of my head. I think it runs in my family. My family’s really musical. My grandfather was a composer and multi-instrumentalist. My father used to take me to these jams, they’re cellar photo music, where you’d just go and two people battle each other with a melodic off the top of your head rhyme or riddle, and whoever is the most charming or funny wins. So I guess I grew up with this idea of spontaneous songwriting all the time.
