Chad Hugo Biography
Charles Edward "Chad" Hugo (february 24, 1974) is an American Musician and record producer. He is known as a member of N.E.R.D. and The Neptunes alongside partner Pharrell Williams. He is a saxophonist, pianist and guitarist.
Born in the South Hampton Roads city of Portsmouth, Virginia to Filipino parents. He grew up in Virginia Beach. His father is a retired Navy officer while his mother was a laboratory technician. At the age of 12, he met Pharrell Williams at a summer camp for musicians, which they both of them disliked. They began working together, mixing beats and playing various live bands. In 1992, while they were attending different highschools in Virginia Beach, Williams was paid to write a verse to the 1992 single "Rump Shaker," by Wreckx-n-Effect.
After several years of occasional productions for artists often associated with founder Teddy Riley, such as BLACKstreet and SWV, they scored wongwriting and production assignments with artists such as N.O.R.E. and Mystikal, which became hts, allowing them to produce with their own distinctive sound for megastars such as Jay-Z. He signed a global music publishing with BMG Music Publishing.
In August 2002, The Neptunes were named Producers of the Year at both The Source Awards and the Billboard Music Awards. The following year their album Clones was released. The Source Magazine describe him as the Mr. Spock to Williams "Captain kirk," an anlogy that does not go well with Hugo. According to him, Williams usually provides the beat and the most of the melodies of the duo, whereas his role lies more in as a "oneman band" and sequencer.
I just always considered myself to be different and able to explore whatever I wanted.

Tags: Getting, Light, TimeFor me, I'm just trying to be the best at what I do. I'll wave an Asian American flag if I get that opportunity. I'm not hiding or trying to discredit my background or anything, I just haven't had the opportunity.
Tags: American, Best, TryingGroups like The Mountain Brothers just have to keep on doing what they're doing - just make it dope and just make it different. And not try to compete with other people of color.
Tags: Color, Keep, TryI played saxophone, so I was into jazz. I learned from each audience and each teacher that I had. I can't really tell you any rules or anything, but the way I develop my beliefs is really just by personally learning from different situations.
