Pharell Williams’ life is being taken to the big screen. A movie musical about the 43-year-old producer’s childhood is reportedly being developed by Fox. The film is inspired by his childhood in Virginia Beach.

The project will be directed by Broadway director Michael Mayer. Martin Hynes is writing the screenplay.

Pharrell is a singer-songwriter, rapper, record producer, and film producer. He and Chad Hugo make up the record production duo The Neptunes. He released his first single, “Frontin'”, in 2003 and followed up with his debut solo album, In My Mind in 2006. His second album, Girl, was released on March 3, 2014. This album was preceded by the commercially successful single, “Happy”. As part of the Neptunes, Williams has produced numerous hit singles for various recording artists.

Williams owns a media venture that encompasses entertainment, music, fashion, and art called i am OTHER, a multimedia creative collective and record label that serves as an umbrella for all of Pharrell Williams’ endeavors, including Billionaire Boys Club.
