NBC boss Paul Telegdy shared a statement on his brand new addition, going on to say following:

It’s been a huge year for Pharrell, with recognition for his contribution in the world of music — the Despicable Mefranchise soundtracks, his Oscar-nominated song “Happy” and his Grammy-winning collaboration with Daft Punk on the breakout dance hit “Get Lucky.” His dominance in record sales in 2014, coupled with his incomparable accomplishments in the world of fashion and design, make him an irresistible addition to The Voice family. He has already made a considerable impact as a mentor, drawing on an impressive track record as both a producer and performer. It is a perfect fit for The Voice as we evolve and reach for new heights with this franchise.

No word as to whom the remaining coaches for next season will be, but the names should be revealed sooner than later. Season seven of The Voice will debut this fall, let us know if you’ll be tuning in.
