Star Trak's Pharrell looks to make a star out of Teyana Taylor
Does lightning strike in the same place twice? Pharrell Williams sure seems to be placing bets as he grooms his teen protégé and "Princess of Star Trak," Teyana Taylor for a solo debut.
Teyana hails from the same Harlem streets as Williams' most successful wunderkind, Kelis and like Mrs. Nasir Jones, has a style sense all her own. Visually, Taylor is the poster-child for Pharrell's urban skate lifestyle (young, rebellious, carefree) and her press statement reads like a blue print for success (she's a rapper, singer, and dancer who has choreographed for Beyonce). All that and she's become an overnight celebrity without recording so much as a hip-hop hook.
Now notorious for her debut, on MTV's My Super Sweet 16 (as a life-sized Barbie Doll), Taylor has gained fans with her street swagger and take-no-shorts attitude. But it's what has yet to be proven that will determine just how high her starship will soar in the music industry--her talent.
We listened to what appears to be demo tracks on her Myspace page and there is definitely some talent there. With polishing, Pharrell may make good on the same promise he delivered on The Clipse's Grindin' and introduce us all to something we've "never felt before."

Yep. She is straight outta the Kelis mold.
Harlem is definitely in the building!!!!! This girl has the total package and what it takes to be the next big thing
It seems like most of the kids on the Sweet 16 show are spoiled brats. I didn't see her on there but if she make and entrance as barbie.....
I heard Teyana Taylor was dating Pharrell. If this is true tht is not cool becuase she is only like 16 years old.
Pharrell and Teyana are not dating. Teyana may slightly resemble Pharrell's girlfriend, Vashtie, (which is probably how the rumor started) but Teyana is only his protege. We'd hate to see this rumor go any further.
Teyana is about to blow up. She is so tight! She hd the best Sweet 16 party on MTV and she's down with Pharell who is the hottest producer in the game. It's about to be bananas. I can't wait for her CD to come out.
People are saying that she's gay but I just think that she's a real down chick. And even if she was it wouldn't matter because this is not the olden days. She's like the new Lauryn Hill for the younger generation and I can't wait until she has a CD out so I can support her.
I'm still trying to figure out who her mother and father is and where did all their money come from. I think she had the best Sweet 16 and the most expensive so far. That Heatherette dress was way too fly for a 16 year old. I mean how can I b e down?
Me and my best friend saw her on sweet 16 and my best friend says her hair isn't real. I think it is but she keeps saying its a lace front wig. If that's true thats a bomb weave. If it is or if it ain't I think shes one of the tightest females out right now. And she did have the best sweet 16 on mtv.
My teyana i love u boo boo!! Son all the hataz cud fall bacc NYC is definatley poppin and my girl T is gonna be doin BIGGER things..HER hair is real its really real...She aint tryna be like no Kelis they both got a sense of style but if u notice it teyanas alot more different.Teyanas gopt the whole package of bein a STAR! Ya party was CRACK!!! love u mamaz
-Kiara
P.S. I dunno what ya hearin but pharrell is her big brother no romance goin on...CHILL!
Well for starters, I came in contact with this girl a couple yrs back at a "video shoot". Her style, attitude, and personality were a bit more relaxed and um, whats that word...NORMAL, which makes me believe her whole packaging today is fradulent. She does NOT skate, nor does she empower younger individuals to be different/unique. And its quite evident she's not taken that seriously as an artist. Oh, and the infamous SkateBoard 16 was a nice publicity stunt...cool clothes, dope photoshoot, interesting party outfit (lol) and tons of kids. But wait! Was I the only one who noticed her mom always questioned how much things "would cost", purchasing goods but never showed paying for them or perhaps the fact that they stayed in a hotel during the duration of the show?! Hmm it was better off being her first video, everything rented. And how dare she be compared to the infamous va$htie. No Way!
It is my belief that MTV and their sponsors (not the parents of the sweet 16'ers) fund and arrange the parties.
As someone with a background in production, I notice way too much product placement and MTV-pulled strings to get these parties off the ground.
Even the performances by top artists (Rhianna, Pit Bull, etc), IMO, are pre-determined by execs marketing and booking their artists as they would on any other MTV show. It's all about exposure.
So I agree, I don't think the families pay a dime.
It would be interesting to see how many of these kids are still in possession of the "surprise rides" they're presented with on tv.
It is very entertaining, just not as spontaneous as they make people believe.
FOR THE RECORD... Anyone that knows TEYANA, knows that her style has ALWAYS been different! Whether it was the bright colored or wild hairstyles, "DRESSING LIKE A BOY" to the different variations of outfits! HOWEVER - When Pharrell met Teyana back in August, he fell in LOVE with her ORIGINALITY! & The fact that she was'nt scared to be who she was! I know Teyana personally, and unlike alot of artist her age, she DOES motivate people OLDER & YOUNGER all over to do whatever they want! BEING DIFFERENT IS WHAT GOT HER A RECORDING CONTRACT [NOT A DEMO], SO WHY CHANGE NOW??? I LOVE Teyana & all she brings to the table! There is nothing out here like her, the hate comes with the territory! AND THIS IS JUST THE START!! [HER SINGLE HAS'NT EVEN DROPPED YET!]
"IM EFFN; FRSH" - You're the true definition of a HATER! Just thought i'd let you know... MTV DOES'NT PAY FOR ANYTHING!, PHARRELL & VASH ARE'NT TOGETHER, & TEYANA ISN'T A SKATER, BUT SHE DOES SKATE!!
ANY QWESTIONS HOLLA AT ME PERSONALLY!!! 347.216.2437 - Anonymous NERD...
I don't think the lil' chick needs an attorney to represent her on a blog site that shit is wack...
Take the opinion and keep it movin' that is unless one may have taken it personal? Too personal? Her sister? Her Brother? Her Mama? Oh no Pharrell? Or maybe Teyana herself?
I mean if the chick is hot only time will tell if she is a dud' we shall all see....
Things should be seen NOT stated..
One
hey guys my name is teyana and i juss wanna say thanks for all yall opinions weather its bad or not!!!!!!all press is good press everyone have the right to state there opinion!!!!!! look out for my first single its coming out this summer!!!!!! hope you like it!!!!!!
lata.....
oi man, i watched dat sweet 16 which was boom. she got her own style rite there. her clothes are lush. u lot are jus hatin..how da hell does she resemble kelis? kelis is completely different from her. and even if she was up herself she got reason to b coz she onli 16 get me n she absolutely stunnin. sum ov u people are jus jealous man get me..she's just some propa unique girl who don't give a toot wot people think about her. which is da best way to b.
yeh man she got london backin her up. so do ur thing get me
yo on the real I've heard the boy you and me by teyana and it is on point so she should put out the CD. I think it will do big things! But I don't think she followin Kelis cuz she was not that hot when she first came out.
Waz gudie everyone........
Teyana has a very live style.
As a teenager she is one of our voicez.
I love how she pushes the fact of being who yu are.
perfection is what a lot of teenagers seek n she has displayed yu dnt always have to like what wat yur friendz like.
furthermore im feelin team nerd...i will be lookin out 4 her single
she looks hot as a stud...girl keep doin ur thing...dont pay no mind to haters...they will always hate cause they dont have what u do....love Peaches
i luv dat chick man she is so talented..if shes gay..omg id date her in a heart beat :-)
her sweet sixteen was crazzzzzzzzzzzzy I luved it
I love this gurl, and her style is crazy!! But, I think she is a lesbian. What do yall think?
no i dont think shes a lesbian.
just cuz she dresses different and isnt as upity as i guess "the average girl" is doesnt mean shes lesbian. shes just real laid back and cool and i think she got that personality from hangin around pharrell so much bcuz thats just how he acts. but i dont think that makes her lesbian. but thats just me.
IM EFFN; FRSH.
I never claimed vash and pharrell were still a couple. I was making refernece to and disagreeing with the individual who stated teyana favors her! My question is, what has she done to motivate anyone, with just a myspace page and 22 minutes of tv time? She's not an artist in the public eye as of yet to make any damn difference. Call me a hater, but seriously, what has she done for me lately? Maybe as far as an up and coming artist shes not your average but as an individual, she's doing nothing new. Just my opinion! It is what it is!
I Think Teyana Style Is Dope I Think Her Whole Swagger Is Hot.People Are Already Stereotypin Callin Her A Lesbian.Teyana Just Happens To Have A Different Style Than Your Average Girl She's An SKATEBOARD For Crying Out Loud If I Could I'll Marry Her Lol.But I Thinks Shes Fly And She Needs To Come Out With An Album Real Soon Forreal.
THAT IS NOT HER HAIR, FOR THOSE WHO DONT KNOW A WEAVE WHEN THEY SEE ONE, BUT HER STYLE IS UNIQUE, AND DIFFERENT.
why is everybody hatin? regardless if she is fake or not, she is dope. And if she is fakin she is putting on a hell of a good show. No one knows if that is her hair but her, but it looks unique and cute. people debating snd hating on her like she is already a megastar. chill out. the talent is the most important thing. Her creativity is evident, and i am excited to hear her music. It is cool that she is not trying to be like the other young girl stars being hella naked, and selling mediocre, catchy songs with their bodies and faces. (yall imaginations can tell yall who i am talkin about).....
I think that Teyana is definitely going to be doing big things in the future ya dig! I watched her sweet sixteen and it was crazy!!! Her style is definitely unique but thats the best way to be! Standing out and being noticed takes heart and shes got it SIGNING OUT
I heard her myspace demos and she is definitely talented. Her style is very interesting and so is her personality. Her hair does not matter. It still looks hot! I just think that she can eat a slice of humble pie. Humility goes a long way and in the entertainment industry you get so much more love and admiration for exuding humility! Narcissism is not a good look and most people hate it. That would explain some of the bloggers' distaste. All the talk about her being a "ROCKSTAR;STAR;BARBIE" is extremely infantile and unhealthy. Her parents should check that. That is really three year old status. She did not even give herself a chance to blow yet. What GOD giveth, he can and shall taketh away! No one person is promised tomorrow or everlasting success so showing some humility shows that you are grateful for what you have and that you are aware of the fact that other are not as fortunate as you.
She needs to be warmly recieved by the USA and the rest of the world not just Harlem! Her talent is there but not properly polished yet and all that is fine because she is only sixteen. However, the problem with individuals that are so insistent in their ultimate perfection is that they very seldom improve due to lack of understanding and accepting their faults.
Anyways, I wish her the best and I hope that she would really look around her thank GOD for what she has gotten and what's about to come and just breathe then take it down ten notches!

Kooda.....
I think Teyana is a great young artist. She does represent the ideal rebellious teenager who expresses who they are through their style and creativity.( KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK)! Life is all about individual self expressions. That's what makes us who we are and different from others. If the MTv did sponser the parents with the money for the party. WHO CARES!!! It's a popular show and fun to watch.
People need to stop hating on Teyana Taylor. Even if her hair is fake she paid for it so it is her's! And I wonder if she is a lesbian cause she could pull a lotta girls... me included!!
who cares whether her hair is fake??? Halle, Beyonce, Janet...all of them have had hair added at one time or another.
she's cute and original.
my cousin attended a sweet 16 party in Miami. the kid kept the car and the parents paid the gift (car) and most of the other stuff. all of the companies offer huge discounts because it's promotions and marketing for them.
i don't know who Teyana's parents are or who paid but i do know MTV didn't foot the bill for the car.
MTV does get a hook up with the artists - it's publicity for them
but the gifts and clothes and food, the families have to pay for.
WoW!
Very strong opinions in here. Both ways...which is great. But--
To those who are judging this young lady on superficial terms:
I guess no matter what your personal opinion of Taylor, the one thing everybody should be able to agree on and respect is the fact that she is following her dreams. She has her eyes set on a goal in her life and seems to be making all the right moves towards achieving it. No matter who you are, how old, or where you're from, there is no denying it.
Let it be an inspiration to fuel you to do the same. Whatever your dreams may be. It's important to recycle your negative energy into something positive, or it will eat you from the inside out, and leave you old, depressed and cranky. Not a good look.
i personally think she dusnt have her own CLOTHING style cuz she's just wearing pharrell williams'label.
she's just copying from pharrell williams, the lifestyle. So this is not so unique anymore.
fuc outta fuc all u lames teyana iz the shit i love dat gurl rite der i dont care if shes a regular person i think she iz star and she iz my role model i look after her i like her style so much i got a weave done like hers and my prom dress was base on hers fuc outta her and datz her real hair i love u teyana keep doin ur thing and be u i go to harlem just to u i love and i am ur bigest fan!!!!!!!!!! i am from the bronx and i have crush on pc and i go the same hair salon i cant explain how much i look up to u!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! U ARE MY ROLE MODEL HOPLY I MEET U 1 DAY
how did she get so much exposure to begin with???
Watch out WORLD cause her she COMES and I think that someone of her talent and uniqueness is well over due... and so what if she wasn't this way before knowing Pharell...it's all about image people, this is entertainment!!!
I'm from the A (Atlanta, for all you slow people!) I'm 21 yrs old. Teyana seems like a cool ass chic to me. She kinda reminds me of myself. (That's a good thing! Trust.) Even though she just turned 16 Teyana appear to give off a very unique and mature vibe....(If your reading this) I love it babe! keep up the excellent work! Hurry up with that damn single aight?.......lol
Teyana Taylor is the next big star. Can't nobody even begin to compare to Teyana. She real. She street. She on a whole nother level. She a young Lauryn Hill mixed with the street smarts of Keyshia Cole and Mary J Blige but with a style like Avril Lavigne. Nobody is messing with her. While all these other girls are wearing straight blonde long weaves she rockin natural curly hair. She is so mature and with or without Pharrell she gone blow. So to all the Teyana Taylor haters go be a Beyonce fan or something because you don't reconize real talent when its in your face.
teyana taylor is the best girl I love you........................
for everyone who is interested in who is her parents and where the money is coming from her mom is a single parent and got a crazy big family in harlem, her mom's got like some ridiculous number of brothers and sisters from her father ( like 40!!!!) and there is money in that family and alot of street cats. and i know her mother's father just died like a couple of years back.
I like Ms Taylor so far, I love her original style and also that big beautiful hair, I keep pressin to my Black sisters that natural big wild kinky or curly hair is simply GORGEOUS!!! Anywayz, I like her songs, so she seems like a pretty dope chick...ill buy her album.
whoa! teyana bOo you got like alotta haters okay like i understand people got they own opinions regardless if it's good or bad but like damn you never gotta try n go hard like for what?!? i dont get why you have so much negative things too say about her like okay your not on tv so like is that why your mad? your sweet 16 was too fckn bomb so what if people dont like it how you came out the barbie box that shit was bomb as fck and it was original.....teyana you rock bitch !!! LA loves you.

Did ya'll hear that Pharrell Williams and his girlfriend Vashtie are having a baby? So that means that Teyana has never been Pharrell's girlfriend to the people that are spreadin that rumor. Pharrell and his girlfriend have been together for like over 5 years and now they are gonna have a child together. If Pharrell was dating Teyana Taylor that would just be sick. So stop with the rumors.
OKAY PERSONALLY TO ME I BELIEVE TEYANA TAYLOR STYLE IS NICE, BUT SHE TO PRETTY TO BE DRESSING LIKE A DUDE, ACTING LIKE ONE, AND HER VOICE IS TO DEEP FOR A FEMALE.
2NDLY I LISTERNED TO HER MYSPACE SONGS AND THEY ARE BEYOUND WACK AND OVERLY CORNY AS HELL. SHE PRLLY BE A ONE HIT WONDER OR FADE OUT THE MUSIC SCENE WITHIN A COUPLE OF MONTHS OR A YEAR.
SHE JUST A POPULAR MYSPACE HEAD JUST LIKE THE REST OF US.
