Biography
N.E.R.D. (a backronym of No-one Ever Really Dies) was an American rock and hip-hop band, formed in Virginia Beach, Virginia, in 1994. Pharrell Williams and Chad Hugo were signed by Teddy Riley to Virgin Records. After producing songs for several artists during the early 1990s, Williams and Hugo formed the band with Shay Haley, as a side project of the Neptunes, in 1994. N.E.R.D.'s debut album, In Search of... (2001), received gold certification by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) and was awarded the second annual Shortlist Music Prize. The band's second album, Fly or Die (2004), also received gold certification. In 2005, N.E.R.D. ended their contract with Virgin and disbanded. Three years later, the band reunited under Star Trak Entertainment, a subsidiary of Interscope Records, established by Williams and Hugo. The band's third album, Seeing Sounds (2008), sold under 80,000 copies in its first week. The album was followed by Nothing (2010). After a hiatus, the band signed with Columbia Records to release their 2017 single "Lemon" (with Rihanna). The song peaked within the top 40 of the Billboard Hot 100 and preceded the band's fifth and final album, No One Ever Really Dies (2017).
