It doesn’t happen very often that a singer is said to be a musical genius. But if there\u2019s one person amongst all singers that have merited the title, that person would be none other than Pharrell Williams.<\/p>\n

He\u2019s a renowned producer, singer, rapper and songwriter.<\/p>\n

Pharrell\u2019s fan base is on a steady rise as he moves into other lucrative ventures such as\u00a0owning a denim label, becoming a YouTube star and supporting his dad to create a family cookbook.<\/span><\/p>\n

From The Neptunes, To N*E*R*D, To Pharrell<\/span><\/h2>\n

Pharrell formerly was in a marching band ,and loves playing piano, the keyboard, drums and percussion. <\/span><\/p>\n

It was in band class at the age of 12 that Pharrell\u00a0met Chad Hugo. <\/span><\/p>\n

Both worked with local producer Timbaland and rapper Magoo. <\/span><\/p>\n

Alongside\u00a0his friend Chad Hugo, the duo formed The Neptunes: an American production company.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Neptunes contributed sounds to many successful hip- hop and R&B artists in the late 1990s and 2000s.<\/p>\n
