UNIVERSAL CITY, Calif. - Pharrell Williams has been named the new coach on "The Voice" for season seven airing fall 2014.
The Grammy-award winning artist and Oscar nominee will become an official member of the show's coaching line-up after appearing as an adviser in past seasons.
"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.' 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," Paul Telegdy, President, Alternative and Late Night Programming, NBC Entertainment said in a news release.
The rest of the coach line-up will be confirmed at a later date.
