To the call the man a "hitmaker" feels like an understatement.
There isn't another producer in popular music more ubiquitous with the last 20 years than Pharrell Williams. The Virginia native has his fingerprints all over Hip-Hop, R&B, pop, dance and seemingly everything else. From his early days as a teenage prodigy working under the tutelage of the legendary Teddy Riley, to his chart-topping smashes with partner Chad Hugo, to his own uniquely eclectic solo outings, Pharrell has a career that sits alongside the all-time best in music.
He's delivered the goods for everyone from J.Lo to Jay-Z, worked with Snoop and LL COOL J, is homies with Nile Rodgers and grew up down the road from Missy and Tim. You gotta love Pharrell. He's everywhere.
