Pharrell Signs To Columbia Records

• 19th Dec 2013

Columbia Records have announced their signing of pop superstar and producer Pharrell Williams.

Last month, Williams released the world’s first 24 hour music video for ‘Happy’, which is presented as an interactive clock – a neat little trick that passed us by originally, check it out here: http://24hoursofhappy.com

News of the signing adds to an already incredible year for Williams. Having co-written and been featured on two of 2013’s best-selling tracks—Robin Thicke’s “Blurred Lines” and Daft Punk’s “Get Lucky”— Williams has also received a huge amount of awards and nominations.

“When we excitedly partnered with Pharrell in January of this year, we felt it was his time again,” says Columbia Records Chairman/CEO Rob Stringer. “Since then, ‘Blurred Lines’ and ‘Get Lucky’ have defined pop music in 2013, and now we are preparing to launch Pharrell as a global solo superstar in 2014. ‘Happy’ is just the beginning.”
