The upcoming film Pharrell Williams: Piece by Piece, set to hit theaters nationwide on April 4 (distributed by PARCO and Universal Pictures), presents an extraordinary retelling of Pharrell Williams’ life through LEGO animation. Known worldwide as the creator of McDonald’s iconic "I'm Lovin' It" jingle ("ba-da-ba-ba-ba"), Pharrell has continuously shaped the music and pop culture industries with his boundless creativity.

From Producer to Global Icon

While many associate Pharrell with his 2013 global hit “Happy” from Despicable Me 2, few realize that his career began not as a singer but as a music producer. His debut came in 1992 as part of the production duo The Neptunes. He rose to prominence by producing Britney Spears’ “I’m a Slave 4 U,” and went on to produce genre-defying hits like Gwen Stefani’s “Hollaback Girl” and Justin Timberlake’s “Girlfriend.” In Japan, he is also well-known for his vocal collaboration with Daft Punk on the hit track “Get Lucky.”

A Visionary in Fashion

Pharrell’s influence extends far beyond music. He is a fashion pioneer, known for fusing street style with luxury. Alongside Japanese designer NIGO, he launched the fashion brand Billionaire Boys Club. In 2019, Pharrell collaborated with Chanel on a capsule collection, and in 2023, he was named Creative Director of Louis Vuitton. Despite initial skepticism, he quickly proved his creative prowess, unveiling collections that earned critical acclaim.

A LEGO Film That Captures the Essence of Innovation

Piece by Piece isn’t just a biopic—it’s an exploration of the creative essence of Pharrell Williams. By presenting his life story through LEGO animation, the film offers a fresh, visually imaginative way to understand the mind behind some of the most influential music and fashion movements of our time.
