Pharrell on record labels: ‘No one should own you’

“You shouldn’t walk into a company and say, ‘I’m gonna make this record,’ said Pharrell speaking at last week’s United Master SelectCom music conference.

“They give you an advance then for the tenure of that, the entire time you’re album’s out you’re working to pay back that advance”

“No bank gives a company a loan to start a company and walks away with the trademarks.”
