Pharrell Williams is a creative force, using music, fashion, and design to express his distinctive style. From his beginnings as a teenage prodigy and multi-instrumentalist in Virginia Beach back in the early ’90s, through enough hits to earn him Billboard’s Producer of the Decade in 2010, to his current status as multi-media superstar, Williams has never stopped creating. Starting his producing career as one half of The Neptunes with Chad Hugo, Williams has helped create such classics as Daft Punk’s “Get Lucky,” Robin Thicke’s “Blurred Lines,” Nelly’s “Hot in Herre,” Jay-Z’s “I Just Wanna Love U (Give it 2 Me),” Britney Spears’s “I’m A Slave 4 U,” and Justin Timberlake’s “Like I Love You.” With over 100 million copies of his productions sold, his music sounds like something no one else has thought of just yet. He’s also created a new way of looking at established stars like Snoop Dogg, Madonna, and even the Rolling Stones. Over four albums, Williams and Hugo along with Shae Haley created an unpredictable hybrid as part of the alt-rock/hip-hop group N.E.R.D. The music industry has honored Pharrell with 7 Grammy Awards (including 2004’s and 2014’s “Producer of the Year”) and ASCAP’s prestigious Golden Note Award in 2012. He also received a 2014 Academy Award Nomination for his original song “Happy” featured in the animated film Despicable Me 2. “Happy” remained atop the Billboard Hot 100 chart for ten consecutive weeks, peaked at #1 on iTunes in 103 markets worldwide, and is the lead single off of his new album “G I R L.” Pharrell’s second solo album “G I R L” was released on March 3, 2014 to rave reviews. His prolific body of work also ranges from designing a sculpture with Tokyo-born artist Takashi Murakami to accessories and jewelry for luxury goods brand Louis Vuitton, to t-shirts for Japanese mega-brand Uniqlo, to adidas sportswear and to the forthcoming perfume collaboration with Comme des Garcons. Pharrell’s work in the humanitarian field is an extension...

I hate to promote myself. It's the most uncomfortable feeling in the world. They say it's necessary to tell people about your projects, but I just believe that if it's good, people will find it on their own.
For this reason, there wasn't much on pharrellwilliams.com. Although my team kept urging me to give it some attention, I didn't make it a priority. (And honestly, the internet already does a great job of cataloging all my projects.) It wasn't until they presented me an idea from the team at Five Hundred that I found a direction I was comfortable with.
I am nothing without the people who enjoy my work. I can't exist without all of you. I can create all day, but if there isn't an audience to co-sign my projects, to acknowledge they're any good, they would just exist in my mind.
On my new website, before you learn about me, you first meet the faces who have supported my projects. It's a way for me to connect with all of you in a personal way. You are the reason I have a career, and it’s important to me that you're all acknowledged first.
Once you get deeper into the website, you'll experience a curated list of my projects put together by the i am OTHER team. It's kind of like a museum, and I hope those new to my world will enjoy learning about all the collaborations I've had the honor of participating in.
Without you, there is no me. My career has lasted over 20 years, and I'm amazed that people are still interested in what I do. Thank you.
In service, Pharrell
