N.E.R.D – Rock Star Poser
N*E*R*D is alternative rock/funk/rap group which formed in Virginia Beach, Virginia, United States in 2001. The group consists of lead singer Pharrell Williams (vocals, keys, guitar), Chad Hugo (guitar, bass) and Shay Haley (drums). The band is best known for the songs “Rock Star”, “Everybody Nose” and “She Wants to Move”.
Williams and Hugo are also known as the Grammy-winning production duo The Neptunes.
N*E*R*D’s sound is a blend of rock, hip-hop, and R&B. N*E*R*D stands for “No-one ever really dies”.
Williams and Hugo originally recorded the band’s debut album, In Search Of…, for European release in 2001 using similar digital production techniques used on Neptunes-produced records. However, they decided that if N*E*R*D was to be different from The Neptunes, it should sound different. This led to them re-recording the album (still titled In Search Of…) with the power pop band Spymob for worldwide release in 2002.
