Pharrell is the poo... so take a big wiff!

For a guy who got his first break, according to Billboard.biz, writting a verse for the hit called "Rump Shaker," Pharrell has come a long way! Shortly after that, he went on to work with artists like Kelis to winning awards for his production on Britney Spear's"I'm a Slave for You" and on Justin Timberlake's "Justified."

Consequently, Pharrell is widely known for producing and also for his albums with N.E.R.D. (fyi- they're working on finishing another right now) as well as his solo album. And while we're on the subject, can we talk about the fact that he's about to start producing Sara Bareilles' next album.... I'm dying


But what most of us didn't know, including myself, is that he also has two apparel companies. Ice Cream, a clothing line that is geared toward the urban skater demographic, is in the process of being made into a TV show- I'm assuming something along the lines of 'Ace of Cakes'. The other, Billionaire Boys Club, is a more elite brand. Pharell says it's his idea of what Ralph Lauren clothes would look like if they were made by Willy Wonka.

On top of all this, he's now in talks with Cornerstone, a consulting firm, to launch a branding consulting agency...

I hope one day they are writing articles like this about me. Which is why I started this blog - I guess it's my first step towards marketing myself. In college, especially in my major classes all they spoke about was marketing yourself and doing things like writing blogs, web pages, twitter, and many other online outlets. During that time, all I heard was "blah blah blah... stuff I don't have time for... blah blah blah." Well, here I am now about 6 months out--- wow, that's crazy! --- and I've already knocked out the blog and twitter. So I guess next up is the website, and then I'll figure out the roster of businesses I plan to start within the next 10 years.

Shame I can't just produce a song called called Booty Twister... or can I ?????

Get it Pharrell!
