The power to create | Pharrell Williams Tara Bozick, The Virginian-Pilot
With all the clout that comes with his celebrity status and a long, extensive record as an entrepreneur, Pharrell Williams is simply a force to be reckoned with when he decides to take on a project.
Known widely for the hit song “Happy,” singer-songwriter and music producer Williams has been influencing what many of us have been hearing on the radio for decades. He’s been awarded 13 Grammys, including three for Producer of the Year. Still, the megastar, deal-maker and fashion designer stays true to his Virginia Beach roots and is putting in the time and effort to help Hampton Roads to show its true potential.
