PHARRELL WILLIAMS
American Pharrell Williams was born in 1973 and as well as scoring hits as a soloist and member of N.E.R.D., has produced many successful tracks for a wide array of acts.
His break came when he helped co-write "Rump Shaker" by Wreckx-n-Effect. Pharrell then began working as a songwriting / production team known as The Neptunes with Chad Hugo. They worked on tracks for the likes of Babyface, Britney Spears, SWV and Mase. 
By now he and Hugo had formed N.E.R.D. and released records. Pharrell next released a solo single entitled "Frontin'" in 2003. He continued cementing his credibility in his own right as well as a member of The Neptunes. This included projects for Madonna, Ludacris, Jay-Z, Gloria Estefan, Frank Ocean and Kendrick Lamar. 
In 2013, Pharrell raised his profile even higher. He co-wrote, produced and sang on Robin Thicke's international smash "Blurred Lines". Next, he helped write and sang on Daft Punk's worldwide hit "Get Lucky". The latter earned several Grammy Awards.
Pharrell recorded "Happy" for the film 'Despicable Me 2'. The track topped the charts in America, Britain, Europe, Canada, Australia, Mexico, New Zealand, Israel and South Africa.
2014 saw the release of a new solo album, 'G.I.R.L.'. Pharrell joined TV's "The Voice" as a judge. In 2015 he released the single "Freedom". Pharrell worked on the soundtrack for 'Despicable Me 3'. He remains an in-demand songwriter and producer.
