Brings tears to my eyes. I’ve always longed for someone to see that potential in me and it took my trusting in myself first in order to put my work out there. I pray for future mentors who see my spirit and light and want to provide a platform for me to develop and grow. All I need right now

Very interesting talk and topics.

[@jasonfunderburker9864]

If Pharrell thinks his version of happy sounds like a church song, I can only imagine how true that'd be for CeeLo. Would love to hear his vocals on that track though

[@LittleOrla]

Who are these clowns?

[@timothydarden6133]

The greediest man in Hollywood and his favorite singer. That's who.

[@itdoesntmeanathing]

A pioneer of music and some white guy idk

[@targaryangirlalways5634]

The white guy quit his job as Fox President of Animation and started his own animation company with his own money, and created the Minions movies (1 and 2), Despicable Me 1 and 2, The Simpsons movie, Grinch and many more. He was a fan of Pharelle and asked him to write a song for his movie and he wrote a song called Happy - which has won an Oscar.
