Lisa Mishra meets Pharrell Williams: Looked up to him as visionary who pushes creative boundaries

Mumbai, July 14 (IANS) Lisa Mishra got a chance to meet the “Happy” hitmaker Pharrell Williams at an invite-only dinner. The Indian musician-actress said that meeting him was surreal.

Lisa and Williams, who is also the Creative Director of the luxury label Louis Vuitton crossed paths at an intimate private event.

“Meeting Pharrell was surreal. I’ve looked up to him for years not just as a musician, but as a visionary who constantly pushes creative boundaries,” she said.

The singer added: “To have a moment with someone whose art has shaped so much of mine was truly special.”

Lisa recently released her musical single “Teri Hoon” and her performance in the hit web series “The Royals”. She also recently performed alongside Ed Sheeran during his concert in India.

She had previously said that it’s an ode to the kind of “love that is powerful, deep, everlasting”

Lisa had said: “This song is very close to my heart. After spending the past few months in the world of The Royals—a show that allowed me to grow as an actor— it felt like the perfect time to return to music, which has always been my first love.
