Pharrell Keynote at MIDEM 2010 Vimeo.
Who is Pharrell? Well in the early 90s he and Chad Hugo (The Neptunes) were signed by Teddy Riley after being discovered at a high-school talent show. Since then he’s produced music (and performed with) many well-known artists (Justin Timberlake, Madonna, Britney Spears, Snoop Dog, The Neptunes, NERD, Kanye West, Jay-Z, Shakira, etc, etc, etc), started his own clothing line BBC/Ice Cream (Billionaire Boys Club), collaborated on several entrepreneurial ventures and has had a big impact on style and youth culture. In this interview at MIDEM 2010 he espouses interesting ideas and inspiration about music, business, entrepreneurship, branding and creativity.
