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, engineer and now he is the owner of GhettoZouk Music, a label created by Nelson Freitas with artists as Chelsy Shantel & William araujo. 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.
In almost a decade, Freitas has earned what’s 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.With al these ingredients Nelson made his solo album called “ Magic “ In October 2006.The album sold over 25.000 copies world wide.
With new creative input and even more experience the second album “ My life “ is a fact. The album promises to bring yet another dose of creativity and talent as the 12 track album aims to live-up to his previous album “ magic “ or even surpass it. featuring artists on the album will be William Araujo, Mc Knowledje, Laisa Sanches & Anselmo Ralph.

The song "My Heart" by Nelson Freitas is about a guy who is openly expressing his feelings to a girl. He admits that he wants her just as much as she wants him. He urges her to stop acting and play along with the emotions that they both have been keeping inside. He wants her to give in to their feelings, and once they do, they will both be free. The song talks about how his heart beats only for her, and how he needs her in his world. The song is very upbeat, and it encourages the listener to dance.
The lyrics have a repetitive chorus, "my heart beats for you, girl, it goes boom boom, boom boom, only for you girl," which emphasizes the point that his heart beats for her. The lyrics also repeat the phrase "work your magic girl," urging the girl to act on their feelings and bring them to fruition. The verses focus on the guy trying to convince her to give in to their feelings. He pays close attention to her every move and tells her that he is ready to give himself all to her.

Theres no denying
It is impossible to ignore
I would be lying
If I said anything different
I know you want me
I am aware of your desires
I want you to
I reciprocate your feelings
If you could stop actin'
If you could cease pretending
Imma stop frontin'
I will stop pretending as well
Give in to the feelinn'
Surrender to the emotions
And it'll set you free
Your liberation will ensue
So we can dance till the moonlighttt- stops shinin'
We can dance together throughout the night
Then you can followww- the beat of my heartt
And synchronize your movements with mine
Just like a drumm (repetitious fade)
Our hearts beat like a drum
