Pharrell Williams will sit in the big red chair once occupied by CeeLo Green on NBC’s “The Voice” next season.
The Grammy-winning producer was previously an advisor to Team Usher on season four of “The Voice,” and performed the hit single “Blurred Lines” with Robin Thicke on the show last May.
“It’s been a huge year for Pharrell, with recognition for his contribution in the world of music — the ‘Despicable Me’ franchise soundtracks, his Oscar-nominated song ‘Happy’ and his Grammy-winning collaboration with Daft Punk on the breakout dance hit ‘Get Lucky,’” said Paul Telegdy, President, Alternative and Late Night Programming for NBC Entertainment.
“His dominance in record sales in 2014, coupled with his incomparable accomplishments in the world of fashion and design, make him an irresistible addition to ‘The Voice’ family.”
