Will.I.Am

William James Adams (better known as Will.I.Am), was born in Los Angeles, California (EE.UU) on the 15th of march in 1975. He is an Jamaican-American hip hop musician, songwriter and founding member and frontman of Black Eyed Peas. The genres that define his style are Hip Hop, Dance, R&B, Pop, Urban and Rap. He plays the trumpet, keyboard and clarinet.

Indeed. will.i.am has helped steer The Black Eyed Peas into one of the most popular groups in music. They have sold 18 million albums worldwide, have won three Grammy awards and have been nominated for 10 total. The group, though, is a partnership amongst four people. “A will.i.am solo album is a different entity. It’s not a Peas record.”

On his own, will.i.am has established himself as one of music’s top producers. He has a recording company called "A.M. Records". He has collaborated on tracks with Justin Timberlake, John Legend, Kelis, Nas, The Game, Mariah Carey, Whitney Houston, Michael Jackson, Sergio Mendes, Carlos Santana, The Pussycat Dolls, Busta Rhymes and fellow Black Eyed Pea, Fergie.

He is a democrat, actually he has made a song for the elections of the United States with the dialogue of Obama on one of his meetings. Here is the song:




We can see that Will.I.Am is a democrat, with their ideas. They say they want people to choose every single thing, by voting, democracy. We also can see that he wants Obama to be president, so he made this song for that. Actually, we can talk too much about his personality with this song, because all that's said is say by Obama, and even though he supports him, I don't think it's a good idea to talk about his ideologies with this song. Actually, he may have ideas similar to Obama's ones.

Will normally makes songs about girls, so we can suppose that he is a romantic man, or maybe that he likes a lot girls. As well as from his songs, we can suppose other things by reading some sentences said by him, such as, “I didn’t want to come out and say, ‘Hey, I’m a producer and here are all my friends,’” he explains. “I wanted to be my own man and do my own thing and really try out some ideas that have been bubbling in my head.” We can suppose that he is not a show off person, nevertheless he is very bull-headed, when he wants to do something he tries to do it without help.

Here are the lyrics of a famous song of him: http://www.azlyrics.com/lyrics/william/igotitfrommymama.html
