Pharrell Williams hosted a rare masterclass at NYU’s Clive Davis Institute of Recorded Music on Saturday, where he currently serves as artist-in-residence.
 
Joined by professors Bob Power and Jason King, Pharrell listened to students’ projects, offered constructive criticism, and discussed the creative process.
 
For those who don’t know, Power is best known for engineering A Tribe Called Quest’s sophomore album, The Low End Theory. He’s also worked with artists like The Roots, Erykah Badu, D’Angelo, and De La Soul.
