N.E.R.D.

Blending hip-hop, rock, funk and a few other genres with crisp studio refinement has helped the Virgina Beach based trio N.E.R.D (or, no one ever dies) create a style of music that's gone over well with music consumers ever since the group formed in 2001. Helmed by a talented producer/rapper/multi-instrumentalist, Pharrell Williams has helped add to the band's notoriety and whenever the trio releases an album or goes on tour, people are sure to take notice.
