Judge P.

Lately, Pharrell’s been winning. And today, it was announced that he has happily accepted to take a permanent seat on judge’s panel for the next season of The Voice.

Last year, he appeared on the NBC talent show as a mentor. Says NBC president Paul Telegdy:

“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. It feels like we are welcoming an existing family member home.”

Executive producer Mark Burnett added:

“I am thrilled to have Pharrell come back to The Voice family, and this time…as a coach. Continuing in The Voice tradition of having the biggest and most current music stars as coaches, Pharrell fits perfectly.”
