Star Trak Entertainment is an American record label, founded by Pharrell Williams and Chad Hugo in 2002. It operates as a division of Interscope Geffen A&M Records, a subsidiary of Universal Music Group.
Star Trak Entertainment was formed in 2002 by Pharrell Williams and Chad Hugo. The label was partially funded by Arista Records (from Sony Music Entertainment) in a joint-venture. Pharrell would sign longtime friends, Clipse. Their debut album, Lord Willin', was released in 2002 led by the hits, "Grindin'", "When the Last Time", and "Ma, I Don't Love Her" After the success of the album, the label would sign Kelis, Vanessa Marquez, Fam-Lay, N.E.R.D and pop rock band Spymob, who provided backing instruments for N.E.R.D's debut album In Search Of.... The label released a compilation album during the summer of 2003, entitled, The Neptunes Present... Clones. In late 2003, Star Trak Entertainment released the highly successful album, Tasty, by Kelis led by the hit single "Milkshake." In early 2004, Star Trak linked with EMI's Virgin Records for a new distribution deal. The first release from this deal was Fly or Die by N.E.R.D.
