When William was sixteen years old, he started rapping in late 1991 under the name "Will-1X" after being discovered by Compton rapper and former N.W.A. leader Eazy-E and signed a deal to Eazy's Ruthless Records. will.i.am's first rap song was "Merry Muthafuckin' Xmas" from Eazy-E's 1992 EP 5150: Home 4 tha Sick. Shortly after Eazy-E's death in 1995, Will left Ruthless to start a group that would later be called the Black Eyed Peas with fellow rappers Taboo and apl.de.ap.
After the addition of singer-songwriter Fergie, the group shot into mainstream pop consciousness with a set of hit singles in the mid-00s, popularity that continues to this day. The Black Eyed Peas' producer is Sergio Mendes, an internationally successful Brazilian musician and jazz aficionado. In September 2007, will.i.am took a major step into a solo career identity by joining with his record label, Universal Music Group (UMG), on a pilot scheme to reward certain file-sharing with cash incentives, including will.i.am tracks from his then upcoming release Songs About Girls.
In total, he has released four solo albums: Lost Change (2001), Must B 21 (2003), Songs About Girls (2007), and #willpower (2013). Although often facing mixed critical reviews, he's experienced significant commercial success, including a set of popular singles. His solo performances, featuring collaborations with a wide group of artists including Justin Bieber, Chris Brown, Phife Dawg, Snoop Dogg, and Nicole Scherzinger, are perhaps best summed up in the international top 20 mega-hit "Scream & Shout".
Will.i.am was also recently cast as John Wraith in the film X-Men Origins: Wolverine, a prequel to the X-Men movie series. And if one enjoyed Madagascar 2's chunky hippo, Moto Moto, then one should know that the deep voice belonged will.i.am., who came in after he was ''pimped'' out to the directors by his friend and sometimes collaborator Justin Timberlake.
Before joining the Black Eyed Peas, Will.i.am attended the Fashion Institute of Design & Merchandising in Los Angeles. In 2001, he began designing his own signature clothing line, i.am, which made its official debut in 2005 at the Magic apparel trade show in Las Vegas. In 2007, Will.i.am teamed up with Blue Holdings to design a premium denim collection, i.am Antik, that had its debut on the Project Show in Las Vegas. He has also designed clothing for the Black Eyed Peas.
In January 2008, will.i.am helped write a song, "Yes We Can", in support of the 2008 U.S. presidential campaign of Barack Obama, which in turn became a music video directed by Jesse Dylan. The lyrics of the song are composed almost entirely of excerpts from Obama's speech on January 8, 2008, following the New Hampshire presidential primary election. The video features appearances from numerous celebrities like Scarlett Johansson, Tatyana Ali, John Legend, Herbie Hancock, Kate Walsh, Kareem Abdul Jabbar, Adam Rodriguez, Kelly Hu, Hill Harper, Amber Valletta, Eric Balfour, Aisha Tyler, Nicole Scherzinger, Nick Cannon, Bryan Greenberg, Common and first appeared on the website for Dipdive, and within a week of its appearance racked up three million views, and over four million views on Youtube.
On February 29, 2008, a second video titled "We Are The Ones" was released on Dipdive and YouTube. It included cameo appearances from Jessica Alba, Ryan Phillippe, Kerry Washington, John Leguizamo, Regina King, Tyrese Gibson, Eric Mabius, Tichina Arnold, Adrienne Palicki, comedian George Lopez, and singers Macy Gray, Zoe Kravitz and Black Eyed Peas’ Taboo. The video features everyone chanting "O-BA-MA" as a portrayal as their hopes and wishes for Obama and his presidential campaign.
In 2013, will.i.am released his album "#thatpower".
This Is What It Feels Like
will.i.am Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Coffee every morning now we’re out of things to say
I’m looking for something kind eyes
That tells me everything will work out fine
Let’s face it we’re an odd pair
we’ve known it from the start
I always thought you were too good for me
I’m looking for something kind eyes
That tells me everything will work out all right
Our hearts still glow
And time will tell if we’re s’posed to be together my best friend
What is this mess?
What does our love look like?
This is what our love looks now
I’ll see you around it just won’t be everyday
Our lives will take their course
Other people will matter more
I’ll be looking for those sweet kind eyes
I’ll stop calling in the middle of the night
Our hearts still glow for each other
And time will tell if we’re s’posed to be together my best friend
What is this mess?
This is what our love looks like
This is what our love looks now
Our hearts still glow
And time will tell if we’re s’posed to be together my best friend
What is this mess?
This is what our love looks like
This is what our love looks like now
In “This is What It Feels Like,” will.i.am sings about a relationship that has passed its prime. In the beginning of the song, the sun is shining. The world is full of color and life. However, as the song progresses, the weather turns darker. The relationship between the two people has lost its spark. It’s become mundane and stale. The two of them have run out of things to say to each other. This is a relationship that has reached its endpoint. They know that there’s something missing from it. Both of them are looking for something more- a spark, perhaps. As the song approaches its chorus, will.i.am sings about wanting someone with kind eyes. He wants someone who can look at him and tell him that everything will work out just fine.
Towards the middle of the song, the lyrics paint a picture of a relationship that has always had its own unique set of challenges. They’ve always known that they didn’t quite fit together, but they tried anyway. The singer of the song has always thought that the other person was too bright and smart for him. Maybe that’s why he’s now searching for something deeper- the kindness in someone’s eyes.
The lyrics in “This is What It Feels Like” are reflective of the complexities of love and relationships. Sometimes, it’s hard to find the right words to express your emotions. The song acknowledges the fact that relationships aren’t always perfect, but it’s still possible to find beauty in imperfect love. The song ends on an uncertain note- will they stay together or will they go their separate ways? Will the love change over time?

Long stretch of golden sun then the rain-soaked grey
After a period of happiness, there comes sadness
Coffee every morning now we’re out of things to say
Our relationship has lost its spark and we have nothing left to talk about
I’m looking for something kind eyes
That tells me everything will work out fine
I search for reassurance and hope in someone's eyes that everything will be okay
Let’s face it we’re an odd pair
we’ve known it from the start
I always thought you were too good for me
You are so bright so smart
We acknowledge that we are an unlikely couple, and I have always felt like you were too good for me because you are intelligent and accomplished
Our hearts still glow
And time will tell if we’re s’posed to be together my best friend
What is this mess?
What does our love look like?
This is what our love looks now
We still have feelings for each other, but we are unsure if we are meant to be together. Our relationship is currently in a state of confusion and uncertainty
I’ll see you around it just won’t be everyday
Our lives will take their course
Other people will matter more
I’ll be looking for those sweet kind eyes
I’ll stop calling in the middle of the night
We will go our separate ways and our priorities will change. I will search for reassurance elsewhere instead of relying on you all the time

Nobody here knocking at my door
The sound of silence I can't take anymore
Nobody ringing my telephone now
Oh how I miss such a beautiful sound
And I don't even know how I survive
I won't make it to the show without your light
No I don't even know if I'm alive
Oh, oh, oh without you now
This is what it feels like
Nothing to hold but the memories and frames
Oh they remind me of the battle I face
Without your love, without you I drown
Somebody save me I'm going down
And I don't even know how I survive
I won't make it to the show without your light
No I don't even know if I'm alive
Oh, oh, oh without you now
This is what it feels like
And I don't even know how I survive
I won't make it down the road with one headlight
No I don't even know if I'm alive
Oh, oh, oh without you now
This is what it feels like
I miss you so much,mom😥. It's been so hard without you.
