Nelly Furtado chats to I Like Music

NELLY: When it comes to young people, young women in particular, I think the most important thing is to have a sense of individuality, have a sense of self ,and that’s built by pursuing hobbies, pursuing music or sports or leadership activities within your school. You need to take advantage of the years you’re in high school. Just be as active as possible in extra-curricular activities, that’s what really shaped me as a person. And also allow yourself to have fun. Because you have good and bad experiences, but ALL those things build character and make you who you are, and if you don’t push yourself a little sometimes, you never really find out. You want to get that part over with while you’re young to allow more natural growth.

ILM: What are your tips or advice for budding musicians just starting out about succeeding in the music industry?

NELLY: My advice to budding musicians is always that number one is the songwriting, I think you need to really spend time writing songs to find out what you want to say to the world. And if you don’t already play an instrument then pursue learning an instrument. That’s important and that will serve you really well in the future when you have your own band and your own concerts to arrange; it’s helped me a lot. And also just to keep open minded. A lot of people shoot themselves in the foot just with their attitude. if they have a negative attitude, or a pretention before you’ve even achieved anything. You can’t be like that. You have to really go through every door that you see and don’t close those doors. If you know a harp player, jam with a harp player, or cello, doesn’t matter, it’s all music.
