Absolutely Touching
Special thanks to Mario from T-Town Productions for providing scans from my Touch Magazine feature (January ‘06 - Pharrell on the cover). He paid $18 to grab the ‘zine for us, since he lives in Germany and it’s a UK publication. Click the picture to visit a page where you can read a transcript of the article and download the scans.
Two shortcomings I found with the article. First, there was no mention of NextSelection! Second, it reads that my album is out now - which is far from true! Regardless, I am honored that they found my life and music worthy of publication.
