Pharrell Williams (STAR TRAK) is one half of the No. 1 music production duo The Neptunes, and a major star of American Hip-Hop and R&B. NIGO® ((B)APE SOUNDS®) is the producer of A BATHING APE®, a popular Japanese clothing brand which is famous throughout the world. Together, these two will be producing Hip-Hop/R&B artist search auditions for young women. The name of this project is “STAR BAPE® SEARCH” Pharrell proposed this idea, and his close friend NIGO® loved it. The idea is to select an artist who can be “a successful DIVA in Japan, Asia, and the world.” The selected artist will debut from (B)APE SOUNDS® with total production by Pharrell Williams and NIGO®.
