Nelson FREITAS... Born and raised in the Netherlands, Nelson Freitas creativity and talent is constantly refreshing the world of zouk music. Barely a teenager, Freitas learned to entertain through the art of hip-hop and throughout the years the flexibility of his talent allowed him to flow with changing vibes of the music industry. Once a break-dancer, then the front man of the infamous group Quatro Plus, a producer, a writer, a singer and now he is part owner of Miss Jane Records. With his roots connected to the Cape Verde islands and his passion for the hip-hop culture inspired Freitas to take on a challenge to change the contemporary sound of the Cape Verdean music. In 1997 the compilation CD of MOBASS Presents was released featuring the track, Hoje em Dia (Now a Days), which officially launched Quatro Plus (formally known as Quatro) in the market. As one of the lead singers of the group, Quatro Plus went on to release three successful albums 4-Voz (Four Voices) in 1998, Bem Conche (Get to Know Us) in 2002 and Ultima Viagem (Last Voyage) in 2005. Freitas has also produced various collaborations projects, the latest being Estrelas de 2010 released in 2006 under Miss Jane Records. In almost a decade, Freitas has earned whats rightfully his as he is of the most admired and respected producers, singers and writers in the Cape Verdean as well as the zouk music industry. With a blend of Cape Verdean Kriol and English lyrics, a twist of R&B and hip-hop incorporated with zouk and traditional Cape Verdean music, GhettoZouk music has a lot more to offer the international music market through artist such as Nelson Freitas. Set to be released in October of 2006, Freitas debut album promises to bring yet another dose of creativity and talent as the 13 track album entitled, Magic, aims to live-up to its name featuring artists such as Johnny Ramos, Tó Semedo, Kaysha, Eddy Parker and many more.
