The Life of Pharrell

It doesn’t happen very often that a singer is said to be a musical genius. But if there’s one person amongst all singers that have merited the title, that person would be none other than Pharrell Williams.

He’s a renowned producer, singer, rapper and songwriter.

Pharrell’s fan base is on a steady rise as he moves into other lucrative ventures such as owning a denim label, becoming a YouTube star and supporting his dad to create a family cookbook.

From The Neptunes, To N*E*R*D, To Pharrell

Pharrell formerly was in a marching band ,and loves playing piano, the keyboard, drums and percussion.

It was in band class at the age of 12 that Pharrell met Chad Hugo.

Both worked with local producer Timbaland and rapper Magoo.

Alongside his friend Chad Hugo, the duo formed The Neptunes: an American production company.

The Neptunes contributed sounds to many successful hip- hop and R&B artists in the late 1990s and 2000s.

N*E*R*D, which is a backronym of No-one Ever Really Dies, is an American funk rock band which Pharrell is a member of.

For Pharrell, conformity is thrown out the window when it comes to his interpretation of what’s fashionable.
