Pharrell to join 'The Voice' as new coach for season 7

Pharrell is inescapable these days and he has one more thing to be 'Happy' about.

According to Vibe magazine, Grammy-winning, Oscar-nominated producer/rapper/singer Pharrell got a new gig as a coach on the seventh season of NBC's The Voice.

The network's President of Alternative and Late Night Programming Paul Telegdy, spoke highly of the "Happy" crooner saying, "It's been a huge year for Pharrell, with recognition for his contribution in the world of music - the Despicable Me franchise 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."

And Pharrell seems pretty excited about the new job as well. He responded to a tweet sent out from The Voice's official page.

"This is going to be so fun."
