His grandmother

When Pharrel was in seventh grade at school his granmother persuaded him to take a music class because he used to play drums in her kitchen.

His neighbours

A music producer

When Pharrell was in high school, music producer Teddy Riley opened a studio next to his school. Pharrell was lucky to meet him and work with him: he was in the right place at the right time!

His brain

When Pharrell hears music, he sees itin colour. This is called "synesthesia". Pharrell says that many great artists and mathematicans have this.

Pop Stars

Pharrell has worked with mega stars from Beyoncé and Shakira to Jay-Z, Robin Thicke and Daft Punk.They rely on him to produce and write their hits, but Pharrell says he has never created an artist. He capares himself to an interior decorator and says that the musician is the house... he just adds some colour.

His Fans

Pharrellis modest. He says it's the fans,, not him, that create a hit. If fans don't buy a song or share it with their friends, it won't be a success.
