Lady Hollo, Lady Alista ran in the morning show so excited.
Speaker 1 (00:22):
Nellie Fortado is about to walk in.
Speaker 3 (00:24):
We're going to talk to her new music, old music,
everything music, and other things other than music. You know,
Nellie for Tado has been such a well I'll tell
her when she gets here. She's been such an important
part of our careers with some great music.
Speaker 1 (00:37):
It's great to finally get her in here.
Speaker 3 (00:39):
I don't think we've ever had her on Oh really, No, anyway,
let's bring in Nellie for.
Speaker 2 (00:44):
Todda live from the Mercedes Benz Interview Lounge.
Speaker 1 (00:51):
It's so nice to see you. Hi, Nelly. Hello, don't
use foul language.
Speaker 4 (00:58):
I always nice to.
Speaker 5 (01:00):
Come in.
Speaker 2 (01:02):
Now.
Speaker 1 (01:02):
We've got so much to talk about. We go way back,
we do well.
Speaker 3 (01:06):
I was just saying, you know this station where we're located,
z E one hundred in New York, your music, because
your music has been such a vital part of our
radio station for so many years. Yes, it's great to
have you here today to talk about this chapter.
Speaker 5 (01:20):
I know, I'm thrilled to be here. Honestly, I'm so
much like positive. So I have so many of these
positive associations with like radio and over the years, especially
in the US, just kind of through the years since
the beginning of my cribs, so many fond memories of
like traveling through the US and speaking the radio stations
or at radio shows and just really those are my
(01:42):
most valued moments meeting fans. I would tell you, like
just meeting you know, the truck driver who had to
come in and say hello with a CD ys a
CD this is the year two thousand two, who just said,
I love I'm like a bird. I've never heard of you,
but I heard the song while I was driving my
you know, twelve hour shift, and I just had to
(02:04):
When I knew the radio station was doing this event,
I had to come meet you. Like those moments you
never forget because they're so real.
Speaker 3 (02:09):
Well are these are the legacy moments? I say, if
someone ever asked me, well, what do you want your
legacy to be, I'm like, I want one day someone
to go.
Speaker 1 (02:17):
I remember we we were living in New York. There
was that guy that had that show, but we laughed,
we listened every day. What was his name?
Speaker 3 (02:24):
I'm okay, with that legacy, you don't have to know
my name. But I'm like a bird. I mean that
goes back to what woe Nelly? Right, And then look
at all the fascinating things you've done in your life
since then, and it hasn't been all music, which I
find fascinating. And I find that not knowing you, I
find that probably makes you a much more well rounded
person than someone who's just been trying to do music
(02:45):
the entire time.
Speaker 1 (02:46):
I'm associate that you may be an awful human being.
I don't know.
Speaker 5 (02:50):
Don't talk to them.
Speaker 1 (02:52):
You may be the worst. No, I don't think so.
Speaker 5 (02:55):
You're absolutely right. I've taken some breaks, and I've done
that for my own, you know, well being just so
I can just you know, float back into the crowd
and just kind of feel, you know, life and other things,
and and then then write. I write all my songs,
so I'm like, I need that. I need that. So
otherwise what could I what would I write about?
Speaker 3 (03:14):
But that's being an artist. An artist should be doing
art every day, because.
Speaker 5 (03:18):
Yeah, that's the that's the goal.
Speaker 1 (03:20):
All right, question, I have a question.
Speaker 5 (03:22):
I played your piano in the green room. It's a
nice little thing. I made a bead. I'm gonna senna
to timbaland.
Speaker 1 (03:31):
Accepted that. Okay, let me in ADU shoot everyone. So
Danielle is at home here she is.
Speaker 5 (03:36):
Hi, Danielle, you're not you're at home today?
Speaker 2 (03:39):
Yes?
Speaker 1 (03:39):
And a froggies in Jacksonville. He's up there. Oh my gosh.
Speaker 5 (03:42):
How's the weather?
Speaker 3 (03:43):
It's very nice and I love that question, how's the weather?
And Gandhi did make it in today.
Speaker 5 (03:49):
Gandhi, thank you for coming in anytime.
Speaker 1 (03:52):
So Danielle, where are you going to go?
Speaker 5 (03:54):
So my question is like when we all started and
you as well, there was no social media, there was
none of that stuff. How do you feel about it?
Do you love it? Do you hate it? They're you indifferent?
Speaker 1 (04:06):
I personally love it.
Speaker 5 (04:07):
I've benefited tremendously from apps like TikTok because there's been
a resurgence of my music because of TikTok. And at
first I didn't get it. I had it. You know,
my daughter, I think my oldest was sixteen. I have
three kids, but at the time, my oldest was sixteen
and she's like, mom, permiskus is truning on TikTok and
I'm like scratching my head going what does that mean?
Speaker 1 (04:28):
I attorney?
Speaker 5 (04:31):
Yeah, and that's grown into me just like going to
the dance studio making videos for TikTok, like looking at
the trends, getting inspired by TikTok. So for me personally,
I'm lucky enough to have a catalog that goes way back,
so to have those songs have a resurgence has meant
the world to me, and it's actually made me more
excited about my career. Like it's kind of brought me
back in the ring per se where I'm like, let's go.
Speaker 3 (04:52):
But now we're going from as Danielle's talking about social
media TikTok, but now we're rolling into a I now, okay,
don't give me any like smiles.
Speaker 1 (05:01):
And because I don't know how you feel about you,
I'm gonna ask you the question.
Speaker 3 (05:04):
Then we want to hear what do you How will
you feel when you when when your daughter sends you
a video of you singing a song and it's not
you and it's a song you've never heard of.
Speaker 5 (05:15):
I feel like if we could make the voice like
everybody's individual characteristics of their voice, like singers, and that
into like a system kind of like Shazam. You know,
he knows the codes like you play them. You play
Shizam a digital thing and it knows what song it is.
Maybe we could do that with you.
Speaker 1 (05:29):
So you're good with AI. Your answer is, there's.
Speaker 5 (05:33):
So many lawyers in the world. I'm sure they'll figure
it out. Yeah, but I feel like, yeah, like I'm
not super like it's not super triggering or anything. I
think it could be like a positive thing. Like, but
I will say I heard a song recently that was
like an interpolation of one of my songs. I think
it was given to me. It was what they call
I literally sent it to my friend like a DJ
(05:53):
I sent it. I sent it to say, I can't
even tell this is my voice because it was a
singer sounding exactly like me.
Speaker 1 (05:59):
It fooled you and it wasn't AI.
Speaker 5 (06:01):
But it's it's the same idea, right, It's like, let's
go in and create that sound. And so in a way,
it's flattering.
Speaker 3 (06:07):
Why it's flattering until someone makes money off of you
and they're like these people.
Speaker 5 (06:12):
Yeah, but it's happened. I was in the studio recording
and my one of my friends that I write with, Angelie,
like she she was singing these lines and then I
sang them and I was like, is this you? Is
this my voice or your voice? So it's you know,
like because yeah, we can't. So it'll be even worse
when we get the the robots doing I really want
I really won't be able to tell if it's me.
Speaker 3 (06:33):
Next week we're interviewing the UH interviews the nellye Ftato
robot does Nellie Nope, don't tell her.
Speaker 1 (06:41):
I'm so really gullible. You can tell me.
Speaker 5 (06:45):
I'm also conspiracy there's I'm like, oh my god, it's
definitely it's not me. Like I've had that where somebody's
mixed me into the track and I'm like, you use
the demos and like that's not my voice, and like yeah,
so who knows. It's all relative when it comes to music.
Speaker 1 (06:58):
Okay, I feel like it's all good.
Speaker 6 (07:00):
Everyone's embracing it sort of right now until the AI
starts touring and then it's like, I don't really know
about that one. Are you good? You're good If people
just use your voice and do what they do with it,
you don't mind.
Speaker 5 (07:11):
I mean, it's happening now. People do remixes and they sing,
they re sing them like if you go, there's so
many resung songs, right, there's like the regular version of
a song, then there's like ten other versions, so it's
it kind of already exists. Well.
Speaker 3 (07:24):
The great thing about social media, and I guess AI
one day is as you were saying with your daughter,
it's bringing music back, is bringing songs back that may
have faded for some people or that they remember them.
Speaker 6 (07:34):
Okay, you just have to die to get those big pops,
right sure now TikTok's bringing them back.
Speaker 5 (07:40):
Oh yeah, for sure. And I think it's almost like
I think felt like AI is going to be like
really sophisticated karaoke, you know it.
Speaker 1 (07:49):
I hope it's that simple.
Speaker 5 (07:50):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (07:50):
By the way, just turning us on Nelly for Tado
is here. Of course we're playing keep going up. Of
course Nelly and Timberland and justin Timberlake. So I go
back to two thousand and seven with give It to
Me right right, a frog you like.
Speaker 2 (08:03):
Give it to me?
Speaker 4 (08:03):
Yeah, I'm gonna be honest with you. I'm gonna fan
girl right now. Promiscuous and say It Right are two
of my favorite songs of all time.
Speaker 1 (08:10):
And I'm not even exact.
Speaker 4 (08:12):
I'm not exagger radio. If I'm listening to the radio
at any point this morning and and I hear either
one of those songs, I will turn it up as
loud as it will go every single time. I just
love those and and give it up to me. Is
another one that just is so good.
Speaker 1 (08:25):
Well, Loose Loose itself. The album was just was so good.
Speaker 5 (08:28):
Thank you.
Speaker 1 (08:29):
Okay, So between you know, Woe Nelly and Loose and
now you did things other than music, which I find
I love these stories. I mean, you're a librarian and
the school and you work for a record store. I
think I did.
Speaker 5 (08:43):
Yeah, my friend's Vinyl chop, I know, but I did
a whole Spanish album.
Speaker 1 (08:47):
No, as as an artist, you did?
Speaker 5 (08:50):
I want a Latin Grammy. Actually okay, not a lot
of people know about it.
Speaker 3 (08:53):
I barely speak English, I guess audience, but they do.
Speaker 1 (08:58):
I love. I love the glow bullshield that you bring
to their own.
Speaker 3 (09:01):
But I love that that you're question let me rephrase.
When you were between music projects, so we were doing
things that weren't music. Yes, how did as an artist
was at a positive time for you? Or it was
a growth a time of growth? I mean, I don't
know what was your life like between me, you really.
Speaker 5 (09:22):
Needed it because like every time I would like, I'm
a very like overachiever type of personality, like a bit
obsessive compulsive. So when I do something, I do at
full force. There's no like middle ground. So if I'm working,
I am like, yeah, you want me to swim underwater
for five minutes, I'll do it, you know. Like so
if I'm doing promotion or promoting something, I'm like, you know,
(09:44):
pedal to the metal go. So it tends to make
me feel burnt out after a while, so I need
to take longer breaks. That's kind of my style.
Speaker 1 (09:50):
Being a mother. At the same time, I'm also a mom.
Speaker 5 (09:53):
Yeah, and I obviously like I love being a mom
and I just learned and grow so much from it
and I and I love that that those times in
my life also, you know, have been so special. And yeah,
I like to take time when I do things. But
I've found a new balance recently because I feel like
(10:13):
now that I have small ones, I have got like
a five year old, a five year old daughter, a
four year old son, and you know, a nineteen year
old who's like in third year, like n y u,
And I'm loving my job more than ever. I'm loving
my job.
Speaker 1 (10:27):
Your energy is off the chart. Fabulous. By the way,
thank you so much about to say the word it's
in fabulous.
Speaker 6 (10:35):
Wait, I want to know if you are the hot librarian,
if you have your hair and a bunch.
Speaker 1 (10:39):
We were the hot librarians, you know, even the keyboys
like you wanted to like play with your hair and stuff.
Speaker 5 (10:47):
Kind of hot. No, I unfortunately know how to dress
down too well. So it's it's like it's like so extreme.
It's like I either look like a paper bag or
I'm fully glammed up.
Speaker 7 (10:59):
This school, know, like, oh my god, Nelly's Tato was
a librarian.
Speaker 5 (11:02):
Yeah, it was kind of like just quiet moments me
and the Dewey decimal system.
Speaker 1 (11:06):
You now, okay, now stop right now. You brought it
up now.
Speaker 3 (11:10):
So we were talking about you earlier and Nate said,
you know, I wonder if she even knows what the
Dewey decimal system.
Speaker 1 (11:14):
Absolutely, I think they use it. They still use it,
don't they.
Speaker 5 (11:17):
Yes, there's many hours in the library reading Judy Plume
as a child.
Speaker 3 (11:24):
People are going, what the hell are they talking about?
Who's doing and why does he have a decibel system.
Speaker 5 (11:29):
No, for sure, No, I need those. And it's similarly
like the record store thing was like I was just
like sad one day, like sad at a craft store.
I don't know if you've been there. It was like
I was that like Michael's or something, and I was like,
I don't know, I was feeling like sad. And then
I just my car just b lined to the record store.
I used to go buy vinyl at when I was
(11:50):
making my very first album as a teenager, right.
Speaker 1 (11:52):
And I'm like, see that this is going to be
a job here. You're still alive.
Speaker 3 (11:57):
I see what you were doing because when you were
kidd that record store that was like the building the
foundation of your career.
Speaker 5 (12:04):
Yeah, like my lifeblood was music, like since a child,
Like every instrument, every choir, every marching band, jazz band.
Speaker 3 (12:12):
You were in a marching band, you did? I love
women played trump. I was the drum major because I
had to be in charge at all times.
Speaker 5 (12:20):
That's major. It was so stupid.
Speaker 1 (12:25):
No, I was the drum major.
Speaker 5 (12:27):
Oh shoot okay, oh no, I.
Speaker 1 (12:28):
Was in charge.
Speaker 5 (12:29):
I always envied like American American like high school stuff
because we we had a band but it was not
a marching band, and we did not have a cheerleading team.
Speaker 1 (12:37):
We didn't.
Speaker 5 (12:37):
I used to like idolize because I'm Canadian. I like
the football like high school.
Speaker 1 (12:42):
Teen movies didn't. Did the hockey players have a cheerleading squad? No?
Did you ever go into a hockey locker room? There's
the smelliest locker rooms.
Speaker 3 (12:50):
Moving on, I have this weird feeling, and I've been
doing this for a while, so I don't know. Maybe
I'm just you know, maybe I'm on stoned or something.
Speaker 1 (12:59):
I'm on trum right now. I'm kidding. I just have
a feeling that you have some you have a lot
more coming out. I mean I know that we're playing
the song with you and Timberland and Justin, but.
Speaker 5 (13:08):
I am holding music like so, I mean, okay ready
to like I have so much music?
Speaker 1 (13:13):
Are you like pop some stuff?
Speaker 2 (13:15):
Yes?
Speaker 5 (13:15):
Okay, so I'll take you back. So this summer I
released Each Your Man, a song with Don Dalla Electro
tech House DJ amazing and he's like big in like
the rave scene, the dance scene. And so we played
at Lolla Bluza together like a month ago. That was
so fun to do. Love that song. It's a throwback
to some of my old songs. It's like all leap
to me and.
Speaker 1 (13:34):
De ballot him.
Speaker 5 (13:35):
Oh, it's like a whole like throwback in the lyrics.
Speaker 1 (13:37):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (13:38):
And then then I hooked up with Timberland in Miami
and we did keep going up and we're going to
keep making more music. But I also have an arsenal
of other music I've been making for the last like
twelve months.
Speaker 1 (13:48):
Solid.
Speaker 5 (13:48):
See, I know what You're gonna be at the MTV
Video Music Awards tonight, right, don't tell anyone? Oh, sorry,
old it's everywhere.
Speaker 1 (13:58):
Do you think Do you think there'll be an en
Sync reunion tonight? Oh?
Speaker 5 (14:02):
If there is, I have not heard about it, but
I feel like, by judging from like this reaction, I
think there is, and nobody told me.
Speaker 1 (14:10):
Yeah, I'm thinking maybe they're I think there is. What's scary? Oh,
we have some great texts coming in Nelly. Yeah, I know.
Speaker 3 (14:16):
Nelly is iconic, my absolute favorite, my two and a
half year old sings I'm like a Bird every day love.
Speaker 1 (14:22):
Nelly's so cute and her Spanish language album is awesome.
These are real time texts.
Speaker 5 (14:28):
Ok, sweet, thank you so much.
Speaker 3 (14:30):
Is the word iconic a positive or a negative or
a little like like a little bit above.
Speaker 1 (14:34):
I love it, Okay, take it?
Speaker 6 (14:35):
Yeah, right?
Speaker 1 (14:38):
Reason they were legends legends are dead.
Speaker 5 (14:42):
I don't I don't know, I don't really mind it.
I mean people kind of throw that word around now
like for fun, which is cool. And then yeah, I
mean I love like iconic images and iconic like things
like that last forever. I think now that it's been
I guess twenty three years since they started, I like
kind of like look back and go, Okay, maybe we
did a good job with that. But while it was happy,
Ben and I is just totally just like dissent myself
(15:03):
all the time.
Speaker 3 (15:03):
Nellie Fortado is here a three year old to four
year old and a nineteen year old. What you're doing now,
if you're on the road, you're doing what you're doing.
It takes a lot of time being a mom and
doing this the ballance balance. How is that balance for you?
Speaker 5 (15:15):
Oh my god? Well, I think it's like any other job,
like where it's not but it is like the only
thing that's different at the hours sometimes because I like
to beat the studio really late at night, so I
just like make time and make my schedule a certain
way where I can have blocks of time where I'm
being creative and blocks of time where I'm just really
hammering in the work. Doesn't leave much time for like
a social life, But I try my best because I
(15:37):
don't want to get burnt out again. So I have
to be like I have to like make it all flow,
you know. But you're a lot of fun at work,
which helps good.
Speaker 1 (15:44):
That's part of the balance.
Speaker 3 (15:45):
But here you are in New York City, I mean,
are you gonna You've got to You've got a job
tonight because it's the it's the show.
Speaker 1 (15:51):
I mean, are you going out? Are you going to restaurants?
Are seeing friends?
Speaker 5 (15:54):
I will go out, okay, So I'm also like single ladies,
So it's fun for me to go out and watch
that meet people.
Speaker 3 (16:00):
Yeah, should we alert alert the media? Another Fortado's around town?
Speaker 5 (16:06):
What about it? No, it's fun, like it's it's a
good time. Like I think I'm having way more fun
now in like my forties that I ever did.
Speaker 3 (16:13):
Well, let's talk about the evolution, the evolution of nether Forertado.
I mean, the business is a totally different world now
than it was then. You've grown and I'm making assumptions
you've grown into this new role with your association with music.
Speaker 1 (16:27):
Are you in? Are you digging it? I mean?
Speaker 3 (16:29):
Is it? Is it as fun now as it was then?
Is exhilarating? What's the difference between then and now?
Speaker 1 (16:35):
For you?
Speaker 5 (16:35):
It's more fun now because I remembered that, Like you
just have to do it for yourself, you know, like
if I've put in the rehearsal, time, I've prepared myself,
I get out on stage and the work has been
done already, and there's like you can't control the rest, right,
So a certain level of detachment, like you know, Okay,
going to give it to God. Let's go. Let's just
work hard and try your best. Like literally, it sounds
(16:56):
so simple, but I feel like that's where I'm at
right now.
Speaker 1 (16:58):
Yeah, you look at it.
Speaker 3 (17:00):
Anyone anywhere listening to this conversation with you now, they're
for tato and they can relate. I want everyone to
relate with what you're talking about, the evolution of your life,
like what it was like when you were younger. Let's
say you're listening right now, you're in an insurance business,
or you're an assistant or you're the president of a
global whatever, look at where you were versus now. It's
(17:20):
always great to like stop doing and go, Okay, how
have I grown since then?
Speaker 1 (17:24):
And what did I learn? What have I yet to learn?
What have I not mastered yet? Is there?
Speaker 5 (17:29):
You?
Speaker 1 (17:30):
Do you ever think these things? Like what most definitely
what do I still need to go conquer?
Speaker 5 (17:34):
I like wouldn't be here if I hadn't spent like
time going within and just kind of like working on myself.
And I spent a lot of Friday nights with my journal,
you know, no, nothing only that. Yeah before now I'm
having a little more fun. But that was necessary because
it was like, okay, let's reflect, let's I do believe
that you just got it, Like you have to crash
once in a while to like build yourself up back again.
(17:55):
And that whole cliche about like the darkest moments making
you who you are and all that.
Speaker 1 (17:59):
It's true.
Speaker 5 (18:00):
So I would say, now I'm just enjoying myself more.
I realize that it's not that serious. Try your best,
you know, like especially even having the perspective of children
with like decades in between that like you understand what's
important and what's not you know, like you might have
been concerned about all these little things that aren't that.
Speaker 3 (18:17):
Important, Like you're your your older daughter. You said, well, yeah,
you you were much more strict as you were a
new mom. Now now you're the kids eat food off
the floor.
Speaker 1 (18:28):
You don't.
Speaker 5 (18:29):
You want to say I'm joking, but no, it's true. Yeah,
And there's in life in general, even my job. I'm like, Okay,
you have nobody to blame except for you if you
screw up or if things don't go well, like that's
on you. It's on me, you know what I mean,
Because I'm the one who needs to speak up. I'm
the one who needs to deliver. I'm the one who
needs to make sure the quality is there. You know
what I mean? Yes, yeah, because like otherwise, you're just
(18:51):
a bitter person walking around.
Speaker 6 (18:53):
So when you need to relax and unplug and reset
because you said you don't want to burn out.
Speaker 1 (18:56):
What's your go to good question?
Speaker 5 (19:00):
I love just like leaving my phone at home or
putting on airplane mode and like maybe just packing a
picnic for my little ones and putting them in the
wagon and just going to the park all day long.
Speaker 3 (19:11):
They don't have cars in Canada. It's like a horse wagon.
Is this like an amish thing?
Speaker 5 (19:16):
Basically like a horse and carriage?
Speaker 3 (19:21):
Well, I tell you, having you here is pretty amazing
because I know what. Look, we play music because it's
our business to play it. It's a part of what
we have to do. But at the same time, your
music has always has been really great and solid and moving.
And to hear you here today playing this song and
anticipating more music to come, pretty cool thing.

like Coco, the new winner of the Sorry Sound Thank You.

be playing tennis because there are people who don't know
where their next meal is coming from, you know what.
I'm like, that is such a great message.
Speaker 1 (20:44):
It's true, and she's amazing a.
Speaker 5 (20:45):
Great message, you know, And I and I and I
I feel like gratitude has changed my life.
Speaker 1 (20:50):
Having her represent having her represent us us around the
world with playing tennis. We're so lucky to have that.
Speaker 5 (20:56):
Yeah, it's so nice to see something so positive and
see somebody say something so positive and like, yeah, that's
that's hype, that's abundance. That's amazing.
Speaker 3 (21:02):
We'll keep doing that and even in your dark days,
don't forget to do it because people need that. And
I think you're you're a great example of someone who
is making other people feel good.

Speaker 1 (00:22):
Nellie Fortado is about to walk in.
Speaker 3 (00:24):
We're going to talk to her new music, old music,
everything music, and other things other than music. You know,
Nellie for Tado has been such a well I'll tell
her when she gets here. She's been such an important
part of our careers with some great music.
Speaker 1 (00:37):
It's great to finally get her in here.
Speaker 3 (00:39):
I don't think we've ever had her on Oh really, No, anyway,
let's bring in Nellie for.
Speaker 2 (00:44):
Todda live from the Mercedes Benz Interview Lounge.
Speaker 1 (00:51):
It's so nice to see you. Hi, Nelly. Hello, don't
use foul language.
Speaker 4 (00:58):
I always nice to.
Speaker 5 (01:00):
Come in.
Speaker 2 (01:02):
Now.
Speaker 1 (01:02):
We've got so much to talk about. We go way back,
we do well.
Speaker 3 (01:06):
I was just saying, you know this station where we're located,
z E one hundred in New York, your music, because
your music has been such a vital part of our
radio station for so many years. Yes, it's great to
have you here today to talk about this chapter.
Speaker 5 (01:20):
I know, I'm thrilled to be here. Honestly, I'm so
much like positive. So I have so many of these
positive associations with like radio and over the years, especially
in the US, just kind of through the years since
the beginning of my cribs, so many fond memories of
like traveling through the US and speaking the radio stations
or at radio shows and just really those are my
(01:42):
most valued moments meeting fans. I would tell you, like
just meeting you know, the truck driver who had to
come in and say hello with a CD ys a
CD this is the year two thousand two, who just said,
I love I'm like a bird. I've never heard of you,
but I heard the song while I was driving my
you know, twelve hour shift, and I just had to
(02:04):
When I knew the radio station was doing this event,
I had to come meet you. Like those moments you
never forget because they're so real.
Speaker 3 (02:09):
Well are these are the legacy moments? I say, if
someone ever asked me, well, what do you want your
legacy to be, I'm like, I want one day someone
to go.
Speaker 1 (02:17):
I remember we we were living in New York. There
was that guy that had that show, but we laughed,
we listened every day. What was his name?
Speaker 3 (02:24):
I'm okay, with that legacy, you don't have to know
my name. But I'm like a bird. I mean that
goes back to what woe Nelly? Right, And then look
at all the fascinating things you've done in your life
since then, and it hasn't been all music, which I
find fascinating. And I find that not knowing you, I
find that probably makes you a much more well rounded
person than someone who's just been trying to do music
(02:45):
the entire time.
Speaker 1 (02:46):
I'm associate that you may be an awful human being.
I don't know.
Speaker 5 (02:50):
Don't talk to them.
Speaker 1 (02:52):
You may be the worst. No, I don't think so.
Speaker 5 (02:55):
You're absolutely right. I've taken some breaks, and I've done
that for my own, you know, well being just so
I can just you know, float back into the crowd
and just kind of feel, you know, life and other things,
and and then then write. I write all my songs,
so I'm like, I need that. I need that. So
otherwise what could I what would I write about?
Speaker 3 (03:14):
But that's being an artist. An artist should be doing
art every day, because.
Speaker 5 (03:18):
Yeah, that's the that's the goal.
Speaker 1 (03:20):
All right, question, I have a question.
Speaker 5 (03:22):
I played your piano in the green room. It's a
nice little thing. I made a bead. I'm gonna senna
to timbaland.
Speaker 1 (03:31):
Accepted that. Okay, let me in ADU shoot everyone. So
Danielle is at home here she is.
Speaker 5 (03:36):
Hi, Danielle, you're not you're at home today?
Speaker 2 (03:39):
Yes?
Speaker 1 (03:39):
And a froggies in Jacksonville. He's up there. Oh my gosh.
Speaker 5 (03:42):
How's the weather?
Speaker 3 (03:43):
It's very nice and I love that question, how's the weather?
And Gandhi did make it in today.
Speaker 5 (03:49):
Gandhi, thank you for coming in anytime.
Speaker 1 (03:52):
So Danielle, where are you going to go?
Speaker 5 (03:54):
So my question is like when we all started and
you as well, there was no social media, there was
none of that stuff. How do you feel about it?
Do you love it? Do you hate it? They're you indifferent?
Speaker 1 (04:06):
I personally love it.
Speaker 5 (04:07):
I've benefited tremendously from apps like TikTok because there's been
a resurgence of my music because of TikTok. And at
first I didn't get it. I had it. You know,
my daughter, I think my oldest was sixteen. I have
three kids, but at the time, my oldest was sixteen
and she's like, mom, permiskus is truning on TikTok and
I'm like scratching my head going what does that mean?
Speaker 1 (04:28):
I attorney?
Speaker 5 (04:31):
Yeah, and that's grown into me just like going to
the dance studio making videos for TikTok, like looking at
the trends, getting inspired by TikTok. So for me personally,
I'm lucky enough to have a catalog that goes way back,
so to have those songs have a resurgence has meant
the world to me, and it's actually made me more
excited about my career. Like it's kind of brought me
back in the ring per se where I'm like, let's go.
Speaker 3 (04:52):
But now we're going from as Danielle's talking about social
media TikTok, but now we're rolling into a I now, okay,
don't give me any like smiles.
Speaker 1 (05:01):
And because I don't know how you feel about you,
I'm gonna ask you the question.
Speaker 3 (05:04):
Then we want to hear what do you How will
you feel when you when when your daughter sends you
a video of you singing a song and it's not
you and it's a song you've never heard of.
Speaker 5 (05:15):
I feel like if we could make the voice like
everybody's individual characteristics of their voice, like singers, and that
into like a system kind of like Shazam. You know,
he knows the codes like you play them. You play
Shizam a digital thing and it knows what song it is.
Maybe we could do that with you.
Speaker 1 (05:29):
So you're good with AI. Your answer is, there's.
Speaker 5 (05:33):
So many lawyers in the world. I'm sure they'll figure
it out. Yeah, but I feel like, yeah, like I'm
not super like it's not super triggering or anything. I
think it could be like a positive thing. Like, but
I will say I heard a song recently that was
like an interpolation of one of my songs. I think
it was given to me. It was what they call
I literally sent it to my friend like a DJ
(05:53):
I sent it. I sent it to say, I can't
even tell this is my voice because it was a
singer sounding exactly like me.
Speaker 1 (05:59):
It fooled you and it wasn't AI.
Speaker 5 (06:01):
But it's it's the same idea, right, It's like, let's
go in and create that sound. And so in a way,
it's flattering.
Speaker 3 (06:07):
Why it's flattering until someone makes money off of you
and they're like these people.
Speaker 5 (06:12):
Yeah, but it's happened. I was in the studio recording
and my one of my friends that I write with, Angelie,
like she she was singing these lines and then I
sang them and I was like, is this you? Is
this my voice or your voice? So it's you know,
like because yeah, we can't. So it'll be even worse
when we get the the robots doing I really want
I really won't be able to tell if it's me.
Speaker 3 (06:33):
Next week we're interviewing the UH interviews the nellye Ftato
robot does Nellie Nope, don't tell her.
Speaker 1 (06:41):
I'm so really gullible. You can tell me.
Speaker 5 (06:45):
I'm also conspiracy there's I'm like, oh my god, it's
definitely it's not me. Like I've had that where somebody's
mixed me into the track and I'm like, you use
the demos and like that's not my voice, and like yeah,
so who knows. It's all relative when it comes to music.
Speaker 1 (06:58):
Okay, I feel like it's all good.
Speaker 6 (07:00):
Everyone's embracing it sort of right now until the AI
starts touring and then it's like, I don't really know
about that one. Are you good? You're good If people
just use your voice and do what they do with it,
you don't mind.
Speaker 5 (07:11):
I mean, it's happening now. People do remixes and they sing,
they re sing them like if you go, there's so
many resung songs, right, there's like the regular version of
a song, then there's like ten other versions, so it's
it kind of already exists. Well.
Speaker 3 (07:24):
The great thing about social media, and I guess AI
one day is as you were saying with your daughter,
it's bringing music back, is bringing songs back that may
have faded for some people or that they remember them.
Speaker 6 (07:34):
Okay, you just have to die to get those big pops,
right sure now TikTok's bringing them back.
Speaker 5 (07:40):
Oh yeah, for sure. And I think it's almost like
I think felt like AI is going to be like
really sophisticated karaoke, you know it.
Speaker 1 (07:49):
I hope it's that simple.
Speaker 5 (07:50):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (07:50):
By the way, just turning us on Nelly for Tado
is here. Of course we're playing keep going up. Of
course Nelly and Timberland and justin Timberlake. So I go
back to two thousand and seven with give It to
Me right right, a frog you like.
Speaker 2 (08:03):
Give it to me?
Speaker 4 (08:03):
Yeah, I'm gonna be honest with you. I'm gonna fan
girl right now. Promiscuous and say It Right are two
of my favorite songs of all time.
Speaker 1 (08:10):
And I'm not even exact.
Speaker 4 (08:12):
I'm not exagger radio. If I'm listening to the radio
at any point this morning and and I hear either
one of those songs, I will turn it up as
loud as it will go every single time. I just
love those and and give it up to me. Is
another one that just is so good.
Speaker 1 (08:25):
Well, Loose Loose itself. The album was just was so good.
Speaker 5 (08:28):
Thank you.
Speaker 1 (08:29):
Okay, So between you know, Woe Nelly and Loose and
now you did things other than music, which I find
I love these stories. I mean, you're a librarian and
the school and you work for a record store. I
think I did.
Speaker 5 (08:43):
Yeah, my friend's Vinyl chop, I know, but I did
a whole Spanish album.
Speaker 1 (08:47):
No, as as an artist, you did?
Speaker 5 (08:50):
I want a Latin Grammy. Actually okay, not a lot
of people know about it.
Speaker 3 (08:53):
I barely speak English, I guess audience, but they do.
Speaker 1 (08:58):
I love. I love the glow bullshield that you bring
to their own.
Speaker 3 (09:01):
But I love that that you're question let me rephrase.
When you were between music projects, so we were doing
things that weren't music. Yes, how did as an artist
was at a positive time for you? Or it was
a growth a time of growth? I mean, I don't
know what was your life like between me, you really.
Speaker 5 (09:22):
Needed it because like every time I would like, I'm
a very like overachiever type of personality, like a bit
obsessive compulsive. So when I do something, I do at
full force. There's no like middle ground. So if I'm working,
I am like, yeah, you want me to swim underwater
for five minutes, I'll do it, you know. Like so
if I'm doing promotion or promoting something, I'm like, you know,
(09:44):
pedal to the metal go. So it tends to make
me feel burnt out after a while, so I need
to take longer breaks. That's kind of my style.
Speaker 1 (09:50):
Being a mother. At the same time, I'm also a mom.
Speaker 5 (09:53):
Yeah, and I obviously like I love being a mom
and I just learned and grow so much from it
and I and I love that that those times in
my life also, you know, have been so special. And yeah,
I like to take time when I do things. But
I've found a new balance recently because I feel like
(10:13):
now that I have small ones, I have got like
a five year old, a five year old daughter, a
four year old son, and you know, a nineteen year
old who's like in third year, like n y u,
And I'm loving my job more than ever. I'm loving
my job.
Speaker 1 (10:27):
Your energy is off the chart. Fabulous. By the way,
thank you so much about to say the word it's
in fabulous.
Speaker 6 (10:35):
Wait, I want to know if you are the hot librarian,
if you have your hair and a bunch.
Speaker 1 (10:39):
We were the hot librarians, you know, even the keyboys
like you wanted to like play with your hair and stuff.
Speaker 5 (10:47):
Kind of hot. No, I unfortunately know how to dress
down too well. So it's it's like it's like so extreme.
It's like I either look like a paper bag or
I'm fully glammed up.
Speaker 7 (10:59):
This school, know, like, oh my god, Nelly's Tato was
a librarian.
Speaker 5 (11:02):
Yeah, it was kind of like just quiet moments me
and the Dewey decimal system.
Speaker 1 (11:06):
You now, okay, now stop right now. You brought it
up now.
Speaker 3 (11:10):
So we were talking about you earlier and Nate said,
you know, I wonder if she even knows what the
Dewey decimal system.
Speaker 1 (11:14):
Absolutely, I think they use it. They still use it,
don't they.
Speaker 5 (11:17):
Yes, there's many hours in the library reading Judy Plume
as a child.
Speaker 3 (11:24):
People are going, what the hell are they talking about?
Who's doing and why does he have a decibel system.
Speaker 5 (11:29):
No, for sure, No, I need those. And it's similarly
like the record store thing was like I was just
like sad one day, like sad at a craft store.
I don't know if you've been there. It was like
I was that like Michael's or something, and I was like,
I don't know, I was feeling like sad. And then
I just my car just b lined to the record store.
I used to go buy vinyl at when I was
(11:50):
making my very first album as a teenager, right.
Speaker 1 (11:52):
And I'm like, see that this is going to be
a job here. You're still alive.
Speaker 3 (11:57):
I see what you were doing because when you were
kidd that record store that was like the building the
foundation of your career.
Speaker 5 (12:04):
Yeah, like my lifeblood was music, like since a child,
Like every instrument, every choir, every marching band, jazz band.
Speaker 3 (12:12):
You were in a marching band, you did? I love
women played trump. I was the drum major because I
had to be in charge at all times.
Speaker 5 (12:20):
That's major. It was so stupid.
Speaker 1 (12:25):
No, I was the drum major.
Speaker 5 (12:27):
Oh shoot okay, oh no, I.
Speaker 1 (12:28):
Was in charge.
Speaker 5 (12:29):
I always envied like American American like high school stuff
because we we had a band but it was not
a marching band, and we did not have a cheerleading team.
Speaker 1 (12:37):
We didn't.
Speaker 5 (12:37):
I used to like idolize because I'm Canadian. I like
the football like high school.
Speaker 1 (12:42):
Teen movies didn't. Did the hockey players have a cheerleading squad? No?
Did you ever go into a hockey locker room? There's
the smelliest locker rooms.
Speaker 3 (12:50):
Moving on, I have this weird feeling, and I've been
doing this for a while, so I don't know. Maybe
I'm just you know, maybe I'm on stoned or something.
Speaker 1 (12:59):
I'm on trum right now. I'm kidding. I just have
a feeling that you have some you have a lot
more coming out. I mean I know that we're playing
the song with you and Timberland and Justin, but.
Speaker 5 (13:08):
I am holding music like so, I mean, okay ready
to like I have so much music?
Speaker 1 (13:13):
Are you like pop some stuff?
Speaker 2 (13:15):
Yes?
Speaker 5 (13:15):
Okay, so I'll take you back. So this summer I
released Each Your Man, a song with Don Dalla Electro
tech House DJ amazing and he's like big in like
the rave scene, the dance scene. And so we played
at Lolla Bluza together like a month ago. That was
so fun to do. Love that song. It's a throwback
to some of my old songs. It's like all leap
to me and.
Speaker 1 (13:34):
De ballot him.
Speaker 5 (13:35):
Oh, it's like a whole like throwback in the lyrics.
Speaker 1 (13:37):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (13:38):
And then then I hooked up with Timberland in Miami
and we did keep going up and we're going to
keep making more music. But I also have an arsenal
of other music I've been making for the last like
twelve months.
Speaker 1 (13:48):
Solid.
Speaker 5 (13:48):
See, I know what You're gonna be at the MTV
Video Music Awards tonight, right, don't tell anyone? Oh, sorry,
old it's everywhere.
Speaker 1 (13:58):
Do you think Do you think there'll be an en
Sync reunion tonight? Oh?
Speaker 5 (14:02):
If there is, I have not heard about it, but
I feel like, by judging from like this reaction, I
think there is, and nobody told me.
Speaker 1 (14:10):
Yeah, I'm thinking maybe they're I think there is. What's scary? Oh,
we have some great texts coming in Nelly. Yeah, I know.
Speaker 3 (14:16):
Nelly is iconic, my absolute favorite, my two and a
half year old sings I'm like a Bird every day love.
Speaker 1 (14:22):
Nelly's so cute and her Spanish language album is awesome.
These are real time texts.
Speaker 5 (14:28):
Ok, sweet, thank you so much.
Speaker 3 (14:30):
Is the word iconic a positive or a negative or
a little like like a little bit above.
Speaker 1 (14:34):
I love it, Okay, take it?
Speaker 6 (14:35):
Yeah, right?
Speaker 1 (14:38):
Reason they were legends legends are dead.
Speaker 5 (14:42):
I don't I don't know, I don't really mind it.
I mean people kind of throw that word around now
like for fun, which is cool. And then yeah, I
mean I love like iconic images and iconic like things
like that last forever. I think now that it's been
I guess twenty three years since they started, I like
kind of like look back and go, Okay, maybe we
did a good job with that. But while it was happy,
Ben and I is just totally just like dissent myself
(15:03):
all the time.
Speaker 3 (15:03):
Nellie Fortado is here a three year old to four
year old and a nineteen year old. What you're doing now,
if you're on the road, you're doing what you're doing.
It takes a lot of time being a mom and
doing this the ballance balance. How is that balance for you?
Speaker 5 (15:15):
Oh my god? Well, I think it's like any other job,
like where it's not but it is like the only
thing that's different at the hours sometimes because I like
to beat the studio really late at night, so I
just like make time and make my schedule a certain
way where I can have blocks of time where I'm
being creative and blocks of time where I'm just really
hammering in the work. Doesn't leave much time for like
a social life, But I try my best because I
(15:37):
don't want to get burnt out again. So I have
to be like I have to like make it all flow,
you know. But you're a lot of fun at work,
which helps good.
Speaker 1 (15:44):
That's part of the balance.
Speaker 3 (15:45):
But here you are in New York City, I mean,
are you gonna You've got to You've got a job
tonight because it's the it's the show.
Speaker 1 (15:51):
I mean, are you going out? Are you going to restaurants?
Are seeing friends?
Speaker 5 (15:54):
I will go out, okay, So I'm also like single ladies,
So it's fun for me to go out and watch
that meet people.
Speaker 3 (16:00):
Yeah, should we alert alert the media? Another Fortado's around town?
Speaker 5 (16:06):
What about it? No, it's fun, like it's it's a
good time. Like I think I'm having way more fun
now in like my forties that I ever did.
Speaker 3 (16:13):
Well, let's talk about the evolution, the evolution of nether Forertado.
I mean, the business is a totally different world now
than it was then. You've grown and I'm making assumptions
you've grown into this new role with your association with music.
Speaker 1 (16:27):
Are you in? Are you digging it? I mean?
Speaker 3 (16:29):
Is it? Is it as fun now as it was then?
Is exhilarating? What's the difference between then and now?
Speaker 1 (16:35):
For you?
Speaker 5 (16:35):
It's more fun now because I remembered that, Like you
just have to do it for yourself, you know, like
if I've put in the rehearsal, time, I've prepared myself,
I get out on stage and the work has been
done already, and there's like you can't control the rest, right,
So a certain level of detachment, like you know, Okay,
going to give it to God. Let's go. Let's just
work hard and try your best. Like literally, it sounds
(16:56):
so simple, but I feel like that's where I'm at
right now.
Speaker 1 (16:58):
Yeah, you look at it.
Speaker 3 (17:00):
Anyone anywhere listening to this conversation with you now, they're
for tato and they can relate. I want everyone to
relate with what you're talking about, the evolution of your life,
like what it was like when you were younger. Let's
say you're listening right now, you're in an insurance business,
or you're an assistant or you're the president of a
global whatever, look at where you were versus now. It's
(17:20):
always great to like stop doing and go, Okay, how
have I grown since then?
Speaker 1 (17:24):
And what did I learn? What have I yet to learn?
What have I not mastered yet? Is there?
Speaker 5 (17:29):
You?
Speaker 1 (17:30):
Do you ever think these things? Like what most definitely
what do I still need to go conquer?
Speaker 5 (17:34):
I like wouldn't be here if I hadn't spent like
time going within and just kind of like working on myself.
And I spent a lot of Friday nights with my journal,
you know, no, nothing only that. Yeah before now I'm
having a little more fun. But that was necessary because
it was like, okay, let's reflect, let's I do believe
that you just got it, Like you have to crash
once in a while to like build yourself up back again.
(17:55):
And that whole cliche about like the darkest moments making
you who you are and all that.
Speaker 1 (17:59):
It's true.
Speaker 5 (18:00):
So I would say, now I'm just enjoying myself more.
I realize that it's not that serious. Try your best,
you know, like especially even having the perspective of children
with like decades in between that like you understand what's
important and what's not you know, like you might have
been concerned about all these little things that aren't that.
Speaker 3 (18:17):
Important, Like you're your your older daughter. You said, well, yeah,
you you were much more strict as you were a
new mom. Now now you're the kids eat food off
the floor.
Speaker 1 (18:28):
You don't.
Speaker 5 (18:29):
You want to say I'm joking, but no, it's true. Yeah,
And there's in life in general, even my job. I'm like, Okay,
you have nobody to blame except for you if you
screw up or if things don't go well, like that's
on you. It's on me, you know what I mean,
Because I'm the one who needs to speak up. I'm
the one who needs to deliver. I'm the one who
needs to make sure the quality is there. You know
what I mean? Yes, yeah, because like otherwise, you're just
(18:51):
a bitter person walking around.
Speaker 6 (18:53):
So when you need to relax and unplug and reset
because you said you don't want to burn out.
Speaker 1 (18:56):
What's your go to good question?
Speaker 5 (19:00):
I love just like leaving my phone at home or
putting on airplane mode and like maybe just packing a
picnic for my little ones and putting them in the
wagon and just going to the park all day long.
Speaker 3 (19:11):
They don't have cars in Canada. It's like a horse wagon.
Is this like an amish thing?
Speaker 5 (19:16):
Basically like a horse and carriage?
Speaker 3 (19:21):
Well, I tell you, having you here is pretty amazing
because I know what. Look, we play music because it's
our business to play it. It's a part of what
we have to do. But at the same time, your
music has always has been really great and solid and moving.
And to hear you here today playing this song and
anticipating more music to come, pretty cool thing.
Speaker 1 (19:42):

mean I have known you for twenty three years.
Speaker 1 (19:47):
You got it. Here we go. It's been a while.
Speaker 5 (19:53):
When I was five we met.
Speaker 1 (19:55):
Yeah exactly, it was a phenus. You were a phoenix
at the time.
Speaker 5 (20:02):
But I feel the same way, very warm, fuzzy feeling.
Speaker 3 (20:04):

continue for you. Thank you and uh sweet and its
people listening and hear about like I said before, the
evolution of your life. I hope it's relatable to everyone
no matter what you're doing in life, where if you
end up how you seem to be ending up. It's okay,
you're good, You're I just try to be grateful.
Speaker 5 (20:24):
Look, that's all. Look, I just remember, like I saw
like Coco, the new winner of the Sorry Sound Thank You.

be playing tennis because there are people who don't know
where their next meal is coming from, you know what.

world with playing tennis. We're so lucky to have that.
Speaker 5 (20:56):
Yeah, it's so nice to see something so positive and
see somebody say something so positive and like, yeah, that's
that's hype, that's abundance. That's amazing.
Speaker 3 (21:02):

don't forget to do it because people need that. And

is making other people feel good.
