Is a Artist/Producer, been in the game for a while now, venturing from his high school along with his partners. He is part of the group N.E.R.D ( No one Ever Really Dies). Along with members Chad Hugo, and Shay Haley. They were signed after performing in a talent show at their high school and released they debut album in 2001. Albums include: In Search of..., Fly or Die, and Seeing Sounds. Some songs you may know: Maybe, Everyone Nose, Spaz, Sooner or Later.
Apart from their song writing abilities, I personally like them more as producers. Having produced plenty of hit records, most of their sounds are really laid back, Funky Jazzy. Pharrell is also know for the way he dresses, Dressing in nothing but the most expensive clothing you can find. He is also a group member of CRS (Child Rebel Soldier), a rumored group consisting of Kanye West, and Lupe Fiasco.

I would recommend listening to him, if you are in a laid back mood.
