Pharrell Williams is one of the key figures in contemporary R&B and hip-hop. As one half of the production team The Neptunes, he has worked on smash hit singles for stars such as Kelis, Jay-Z, Busta Rhymes, Britney Spears, Nelly and Justin Timberlake. The Neptunes, with the addition of Shay Haley, form the rock group N.E.R.D., who have released two critically acclaimed and commercially successful albums: In Search Of... and Fly Or Die. Pharrell also has a solo career, with one album (In My Mind) and a succession of hit singles to his credit already (including the international hit "Frontin'"). Finally, Pharrell is in-demand as a guest performer and collaborator with others: he has featured on the Top Ten hit singles "Beautiful" and "Drop It Like It's Hot" by Snoop Dogg; "Excuse Me Miss" and "Change Clothes" by Jay-Z; and "Money Maker" by Ludacris.
